Every property is different! For some, a roofing system that works well in one building will not work. Experts suggest flat roofs when it comes to commercial roofing. Flat roofs are easy to build, easy to maintain, and they also allow space to be used effectively. Hence, for commercial buildings, flat roofs are a perfect alternative – as suggested by roofing companies.
Bitumen Roofs and Torch Down Roofing Systems Changed
Modified bitumen roofing is a roof membrane based on asphalt is widely used on flat and low slope roofs, which can add to the facility’s waterproof capability and energy efficiency.
Using the torch down roofing application process, this roofing material is often applied to ensure maximum membrane adherence to the substrate. The Torch down roofing, when performed by a professional correctly, will add some fire-resistance to the roof of your facility.
Spray Polyurethane Foam-Based (SPF)
Two components consist of SPF roofing systems:
- Polyurea foam for insulation
- Weatherproof roof cover and UV-resistance quality
The SPF commercial roofings are efficient in preventing extreme temperatures and precipitation from your commercial flat roof.
Systems for Ethylene Propylene DieneTerpolymers (EPDM)
EPDM roofing systems, or “rubber roofing,” are a kind of single-ply membrane that is efficient in preventing ponding, with right fitting and drainage considerations.
Ponding is when, 24 hours or more after precipitation, standing water occurs on your roof. Unlike some metal roof counterparts, EPDM systems also help the rooftop absorb UV rays.For certain commercial flat roofing applications, its ease of maintenance and flat roof repair makes it a good option.
Systems for Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)
TPO roofing systems are a common type of single-ply roofing membrane, produced by using fabricated sheets that are fastened mechanically with screws, ballasted with rocks, or completely adhered.
As for most single-ply roof systems, added care must be taken to avoid uplift from high winds. TPO systems are an outstanding option for commercial roof applications, offering superior heat, puncture, and UV resistance.

PVC Devices (Polyvinyl chloride)
For commercial flat roof applications, PVC membrane roofs have great recognition in recent years.
The roofing system is inherently pliable, but strong, making it exceptional due to severe weather or high traffic while resisting punctures.
Built-up Structure for Roofing
By having several layers, BUR roofing systems are characterized.
Such layers vary between felt and bitumen reinforcing roofing, which may appear in the forms like asphalt, tar or cold-applied adhesive. The multiple layers provide improved leak resistance and provide your facility with efficient insulation.
