Homeowners have plenty of roofing systems to choose from. If you’re browsing for options, whether for your home or commercial property, consider the following options if you want the best out of the lineup.
Commercial Roofing Types
For commercial properties, talk to your roofing contractors about the following options:
- Single-Ply Roofing Membrane systems work for commercial facilities and can use different materials, making it easier to address your roofing needs, including:
- PVC roofing has welded seams, so they’re watertight and strong. The roofing is resistant to winds, fire, and chemicals and is environmentally friendly, given that PVC is recycled material.
- TPO roofing has thin, lightweight membranes that make for an easy and convenient installation. The roof also generates energy savings, is easy to maintain, and is UV-resistant. It’s also ideal for homeowners looking for a cost-effective option.
- EPDM roofing can last for 50 years with only minimal maintenance. Improved formulations to the rubber also make the material resistant to wind, hail, and radiation, as well as damage, from UV rays.
- Metal roofing has a service life of 40 to 70 years, excellent fire resistance, can withstand high wind, doesn’t crack or corrode, is energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
- Silicone roof coatings have an average lifespan of 15 years. It’s one of the best roof coating materials, driving down repair and construction costs. If you want to improve your existing commercial roof, consider applying a silicone roof coating.
- Modified bitumen roofing is the best roof against cold weather. The material is flexible and stays that way, even when the weather turns freezing. It doesn’t turn brittle, so Colorado homeowners won’t have to worry about cracks and leaks. The roof also lowers your carbon footprint and energy bills.
- Asphalt roofing is the most affordable option on the market, offering quick and easy installation. The material can last for 25 to 30 years with proper installation.
- Solar roofing can withstand cyclones and strong winds, are easy to install and are cost-effective.
