Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best roofing for commercial?
The best roofing option for commercial properties largely depends on the specific needs of the building, including its size, location, architectural style, and the climate it’s situated in. However, one of the most versatile and widely recommended options is single-ply roofing systems, such as TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer), and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) roofs. These materials are prized for their durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation and maintenance. For buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, which are common in commercial construction, these materials offer excellent waterproofing, reflectivity, and can significantly reduce energy costs due to their high reflective properties.
What is the most common for commercial roofing?
The most common type of commercial roofing is the flat roof system, with EPDM (rubber roofing), TPO, and PVC being the most frequently used materials. EPDM roofing, in particular, is known for its longevity, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice among commercial building owners. TPO and PVC roofs also offer added benefits, such as improved energy efficiency and resistance to chemical exposure, which are important considerations for commercial applications.
What is a commercial roof called?
A commercial roof is often referred to as a “flat roof” or “low-slope roof.” These terms describe the common architectural feature of commercial buildings where the roof has a minimal slope, unlike the steep slopes seen in residential roofing. This design maximizes the usable space within the building. The term “commercial roof” encompasses various types of roofing systems designed to meet the specific needs of commercial buildings, including built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, metal roofing, and single-ply membranes like EPDM, TPO, and PVC.
Why are commercial roofs so expensive?
Commercial roofs can be expensive due to several factors:
- Size and Complexity: Commercial roofs are typically larger and can be more complex than residential roofs, requiring more materials and labor.
- Material Costs: The materials used for commercial roofs, such as EPDM, TPO, and PVC, are designed for durability and longevity, which can make them more expensive than materials used in residential roofing.
- Installation Process: Installing a commercial roof often involves a more complex process, including the preparation and installation of insulation, the roofing material itself, and sometimes a protective coating. This complexity can increase labor costs.
- Maintenance and Repairs: Commercial roofs may require specialized maintenance and repairs, particularly for buildings that house businesses or equipment sensitive to environmental conditions. The need for specialized contractors can contribute to higher overall costs.
- Energy Efficiency Requirements: Commercial buildings often have stricter energy efficiency requirements, necessitating the use of more advanced and, consequently, more expensive roofing materials and systems.
Investing in a high-quality commercial roof, however, can result in significant long-term savings through reduced maintenance costs, energy savings, and a longer lifespan, offsetting the initial expense.
