Commercial Roof Types
Single Ply
- Single-ply roofing materials, referred to as elastomeric (EPDM) or thermoplastic (TPO and PVC) systems, are reliable materials for commercial roofs. Thermoset (EPDM) is composed of synthetic rubber compounds which will not change shape when heat is applied. We use tape or other adhesives to seam thermoset materials.
- Thermoplastic (TPO and PVC) materials are reinforced plastic polymers that change shape with the application of heat. For this material, we use hot air equipment to weld seams together.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
- These reinforced roof sheets are highly reflective and contain UV stabilizers, fillers, pigments, and flame retardants.
- Heat is used to weld the seams of TPO, and tape can be used to adhere it to accessories.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
- Derived from oil and natural gas (ethylene propylene), EPDM is an affordable, synthetic rubber material that can withstand UV rays, making it a popular choice for commercial roofing systems.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Popular for its dependability and weather resistance, PVC is a thermoplastic roofing material with heat-welded seams. It also features exceptional physical attributes and is resistant to water, chemicals, grease, fire, and punctures.
Modified Bitumen
- Created by adding a polymer to asphalt, modified bitumen roofing systems feature extended temperature limits and increased pliability.
- We’ll install your modified bitumen system using common torch methods, asphalts, or cold adhesives.
Built-Up
- One of the oldest and most durable systems available, built-up roofing is composed of multiple layers, providing extra protection and performing well even in the worst weather conditions.
Coating
Roof coating is a fluid-applied roofing membrane with elastic properties that allow it to stretch, then return to its original shape without damage. This monolithic, fully adhered roofing membrane creates a seamless, gap-free surface on your roof.
Liquid Applied Roofing
An effective method for waterproofing and protecting roof surfaces, this continuous roof membrane is constructed in place using a liquid resin and reinforcing material. The liquid resin is typically applied in two coats and is available as a one- or two-component product.
Metal Roof Systems
- Metal roofing systems offer the benefits of longevity, durability, and heat resistance.
- Metal roofs can be installed with either concealed or exposed fastener systems and can be used for both low-slope and steep roofs.
Steep Slope
- Any roofing system with a slope greater than 3:12 is considered a steep slope.
- Steep-slope roofs typically use asphalt shingles, concrete, and clay tiles. Wood shakes can also be used for steep-sloped commercial roofing systems.
Roofing Slope Types
Addressing the slope of your commercial roof is essential. Roofs can be classified in two ways: low-slope (or flat) and steep-slope.
Low-Slope Roofs
Typically seen on warehouses, big box stores, and shopping centers, flat roofs are usually constructed with EPDM, PVC, and TPO.
Steep-Slope Roofs
Commonly seen on single- and multi-family homes, popular materials for steep-slope roofs include metal, shingles, slate, or tile.
