How Commercial and Industrial Roofing Materials Impact Your Property

You know that the quality of your roofing materials is essential for protecting your facility. But with all the options for industrial and commercial roofing materials out there, it can be hard to know what’s best for your building. It’s essential to find a roofing contractor who understands which roofing materials work best in your climate and environment, and we’ve taken the time to explain how quality commercial roofing materials can impact your property. From PVC roofing membrane to modified bitumen roofs, start here to make the right choice for your facility.

The Value of Longevity and Durability

By choosing higher-quality roofing materials, you can also extend the life of your property. Quality roofing materials offer superior protection from water damage, wind damage, temperature fluctuations, ultraviolet rays, and more—all of which can erode a building’s structure over time. Not only does this mean your property will be better protected for years to come but it also helps you save money in the long run since you won’t have to replace or repair your roof as often.

Energy Efficiency Benefits

In addition to durability and longevity benefits associated with quality materials, they can also help improve your building’s energy efficiency. Many of our products are made with advanced insulation technologies that ensure your facility stays cool in summer and warm in winter while reducing costly energy bills year-round. This means that investing in high-quality commercial roofing materials now can pay off significantly in the future.

Design Aesthetics and Customization Options

Finally, when it comes to finding the right industrial or commercial roofing material for your building, aesthetics should also be taken into consideration. We understand that each facility is unique—which is why we offer a range of customization options for design aesthetics with our products so you can find something that looks perfect for your building without compromising on quality or performance. Whether you need PVC roofing membrane or modified bitumen roofing materials with an aesthetically pleasing finish, we have plenty of options available so you won’t have to compromise on either style or functionality when it comes time to choose a new roof for your property.

A Guide to the Different Types of Industrial and Commercial Roofing Systems

Metal Roofing Systems

Metal roofs are a popular choice for industrial and commercial properties due to their durability, low maintenance requirements, and energy efficiency. They come in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing you to customize the look of your building’s exterior. Installing a metal roof can be done through several methods, including standing seam or corrugated designs. Be sure to consider the climate and environment in your area when selecting a metal roof system as some materials may not hold up well in certain conditions.

Single-Ply Roofing Systems

Next, we’ll cover single-ply roofing systems. Single-ply roofs are rapidly becoming one of the most popular types of commercial and industrial roofing materials due to their superior energy efficiency and durability over other options. They also tend to be less expensive than other types of flat roofs, making them an attractive choice for those on a budget. Popular single-ply options include thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM).

Built-Up Roofing Systems

Built-up roofs (BUR) have been used for centuries to protect commercial and industrial buildings from the elements. With BUR systems, layers of tar paper are built up onto the deck of the building with hot asphalt or coal tar pitch binder applied between each layer to form a waterproof barrier. This is then covered with gravel or mineral stone particles for additional protection against UV rays and extreme weather conditions. If installed correctly, BUR systems can provide decades of protection—but it’s important to note that they require regular inspections and maintenance in order to stay in good condition over time.

Modified Bitumen Roofs

Modified bitumen roofs are another great option for commercial properties looking for enhanced durability without sacrificing aesthetics or energy efficiency. Modified bitumen is a type of asphalt product that has been reinforced with multiple layers of reinforcing fabric which makes it resistant to punctures, moisture penetration, high winds, hail damage and more. It comes in both rolled sheets as well as self-adhesive membranes which makes installation easier for business owners who don’t have access to professional roofing contractors.

Green and Cool Roof Systems

Finally, green/cool roof systems are becoming increasingly popular among businesses looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint while also adding value to their property at the same time. Green/cool roof systems work by reflecting heat away from buildings instead of absorbing it like traditional asphalt shingle solutions do. This helps keep interior temperatures cooler during hot summer months while also reducing air conditioning costs in the process! In addition, these types of roofs can also help absorb stormwater during heavy rainfall events which can help prevent flooding in urban areas where traditional drainage systems may be overwhelmed by large volumes of water during rainstorms.
