Several commercial roofing systems are available, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common types of commercial roofing systems include:
- Built-up roofing (BUR): This traditional roofing system uses multiple layers of asphalt and felt to create a waterproof barrier. BUR roofs are known for their durability and longevity, but they can be heavy and require a skilled contractor to install them.
- Modified bitumen roofing: This type of roofing combines the durability of BUR with the ease of installation of a single-ply membrane. Modified bitumen roofs are made of asphalt and rubber and are popular for their resistance to extreme temperatures and weather conditions.
- Single-ply membrane roofing: This roofing system comprises a single layer of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber. Single-ply membranes are easy to install and maintain and are known for their flexibility and UV-reight resistance.
- Metal roofing: Metal roofs are durable, long-lasting, and energy-efficient. They come in various styles and materials, including aluminum, steel, and copper.
- Spray polyurethane foam roofing: This roofing system is sprayed onto the roof as a liquid and then expands into solid foam. It is known for its excellent insulation properties and can help reduce energy costs.
- Green roofing: Green roofs are becoming increasingly popular in commercial applications. They consist of a layer of vegetation and soil on top of a waterproof membrane, providing insulation and energy savings while also helping to reduce stormwater runoff.
Each roofing system has advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to consider factors such as climate, building design, and budget when choosing a commercial roofing system.
