According to roofing experts, whenever property owners have to replace their commercial roofing systems, some tend to think that there’s only one kind of roofing membrane available on the market. However, believe it or not, there are actually plenty of roofing membranes for you to consider and each of them are categorized into two different kinds: single-ply and asphalt-based.
Single-Ply Roofing Membranes
If your commercial property is the office or warehouse type whose roof sees limited foot traffic, then single-ply roofing membranes like TPO, PVC and EPDM are the best roofing material for you to consider. Compared to other commercial roofing materials, they’re reasonably priced, durable, and have a warranty coverage that can last for up to 30 years. Apart from that, they’re also much easier to install and come in light colors that can help you reflect the sunlight and keep your roof cool, which in turn prevents heat from becoming absorbed into your building and forcing you to rely too much on your cooling system.
To install single-ply roofing membranes in your building, simply turn to the roof repair and installation experts of Roofer Chicks® for assistance.
Asphalt-Based Roofing Systems
Alternatively, there’s also the asphalt based roofing systems which include BUR and modified bitumen. Previously, these were the standard in the roofing industry as their resiliency and thickness means they can last for up to 50 years, if properly maintained. However, keep in mind that they can be a bit more costly to install compared to their single-ply counterparts because they are more complicated to handle.
