There are different types of commercial roofs on the market, each with its benefits and drawbacks. Some common types include:
- Flat roofs: Flat roofs often have single-ply roofing materials added to control their insulation and water resistance. Popular single-ply materials include EPDM, PVC, and TPO roofing. Each is a flexible, durable material that resists peeling and weathering and is installed in one layer.
- Metal roofs: Metal roofing works well for roof lines that are not flat. It offers quality aesthetics and durability, both of which benefit business owners.
- Shingle roofs: Like residential roofs, commercial roofs can be made from shingles. This is particularly popular with roofs that have roof lines similar to residential homes.
- Rubber and tar roofs: Tar or rubber roofs involve layering hot tar or liquid rubber on the roof to seal and protect it. While there are many different installation methods for these materials, the result is a durable, waterproof roof surface that works quite well for flat and low-slope roofs.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Commercial Roof
Investing in a commercial roof is crucial for safeguarding your property. Selecting the right roofing material tailored to your building’s design and purpose is essential. For instance, steep roofs often benefit from metal or shingle options. Partnering with an experienced commercial roofing contractor, such as KMI Commercial, ensures you find the perfect solution for your needs.
