Roofs are not meant to be a primary defense against weather changes and temperature fluctuations. However, they deserve equal consideration when choosing the suitable material for your home.
Flat roofs are becoming increasingly common in commercial establishments. Flat roofs are an excellent choice for businesses because of their many benefits. This type of roofing is relatively inexpensive compared to other types. This type of roofing can maximize space by providing extra storage for large equipment. Additionally, the roof can be used as a place to host meetings or develop gardens.
If your roof is getting near the end of its life, you might be able to find a new roofing material.
Modified bitumen roofing
Modified bitumen roofing was first developed in the 1960s to replace BUR or built-up roofing. Although it was based on BUR technology, modified bitumen roofing is now distinct because polymer reinforced roof wear layers (or cap sheets) make it stand out.
Bitumen’s flexibility in installation is a characteristic. Here are some examples of bitumen’s installation methods:
- Torch is applied
- Apply cold
- Self-adhered
- Hotly applied
Modified bitumen roofing can also be used to repel lower temperatures.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)
EPDM is also known as rubber roofing. Is the most popular and desired flat roofing material, and it doesn’t need reinforcement on the roof decks. EPDM, like modified bitumen roofing, can also be installed in different ways. You can use adhesives or fasteners to install it. EPDM is lighter than other roofing materials, so homeowners don’t need to reinforce their roof decks.
Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO).
A hybrid of EPDM and PVC is another popular roofing material. TPO roofs are made up mainly of rubber with additional filler ingredients. They provide sufficient durability, which is essential for flat roofs. This roofing material is practical and efficient.
Polyvinyl Chloride
PVC is the best material for synthetic roofing membranes; they can also bear any roofing equipment, with an average weight of 350 pounds per inch. This is far more than the US requirement for 200 PPI for all roofing materials.
Spray Polyurethane
SPF can be used to a flat roof system by spraying it from all over the roof’s surface. SPC forms a structure that is form-like once it has been used. SPF can help you save a lot of money on your monthly energy bills. It creates more heat in winter and can deflect heat during summer.
