Commercial Flat Roof Types That Last A Long Time
You must make an assessment of whether your building is in need of a flat roof replacement. Flat roof replacement services have become commonplace due to the wide variety of roofing options.
We're happy to tell you that there are many options for roofing that can satisfy your requirements. Consult a roof repair service provider to explore four additional options. In certain circumstances, you might be able to find a long-term solution for up 50 years. A Commercial Roofing system is possible that doesn't require much maintenance, or maybe significantly more expensive than conventional systems. It all depends on which option you choose.
If you make the right choice you will save time, valuable resources, and money during installation and repair.
There are four types of commercial flat roofs that can withstand long periods of time.
Roofs with Metal Panes
Metal roofing systems can withstand the Canadian winters. They radiate heat during winter for about four to five more months. The panels become solid during snowmelt and prevent snow or water from entering. With a shelf-life of 50 years, the panels are light, strong, and reliable. Metal roofing can be constructed of either aluminum or metal and is a cost-effective choice for roof installation. There are also savings on utility bills in the winter months when heating costs tend to be the highest. This is where money can be saved.
A metal roof can replace an existing roofing system. This provides an environmentally responsible alternative. It is not necessary for an old roof to be removed and thrown away in a dump. Metal roofs made from recycled materials can be recycled once they are no longer needed.
Roofs with Tar & Grel/BUR/Tar
The entire roof is covered by a built-up roofing system, which is made from tar or gravel. This is done by placing waterproof sheets between which is a layer of asphalt. For a roof to be completely sealed, it will usually take three layers. This roofing solution is ideal for disaster situations. It's both economical and fire-resistant. BUR roofing systems absorb and release heat. It prevents heat from radiating from the structure. This reduces cooling costs during the summer and creates an environment that is stable and warm in the winter.
The gravel will reduce the amount of water that is on the roof and aid in its evaporation. The roof can be covered with gravel to allow for foot traffic, and also protect the roof against damage if repairs are needed. Gravel serves as a natural barrier and traps waste on the roof, diverting it away through the drain spouts. If well maintained, this system should last at least twenty years.
Asphalt roofs
Rolling industrial asphalt roofing is done on roof surfaces. The asphalt is heated in order to stick to the roof surface, creating a secure seal. If you have a tight budget, the installation and material costs are minimal. Installation is quick and does not disrupt a company's daily operations. The lifespan of this roofing system is approximately 20 years.
This system's installation procedure and maintenance/repair program are both the best. After the tar has been applied, the rolls will be placed in their respective positions. If repairs are necessary, it is a step-by-step process. You will find that repairs and routine maintenance are less costly and can be completed more quickly if this system is chosen for your building.
Modified Bitumen, Two-Ply
Modified bitumen roofs are two-ply systems that use a polyester, fiberglass, or asphalt layer as a sandwich. Rubber is added for consistency. This system can be installed using either a torch to join the pieces or by cold installation. To attach the materials to the roof during cold installation, an adhesive will be used. Since torchlight has been known to cause fires in the past many roofing companies use cold installation.
This system is durable and reliable over the long term. It is easy to install and will retain its integrity for at least two decades. Modified bitumen is resistant to water because the seals are attached by a melting, adhesion, or adhesive process. This method also has an important feature: color. It is lighter than other systems and helps with the reflection of UV radiations that affect indoor temperatures. The HVAC cooling bill will show the savings. This system also has a proven track record of effectiveness that has been in use for many decades.
Flat roofing systems save money, are reliable, long-lasting, and cost-effective. They can save you money in the long term when it comes to your building's operating costs.
