As a commercial property owner or manager, your concerns and priorities include making sure that your roof it is always in tip-top condition. If your building has been standing for quite a while now, it might be due for a roof replacement so you need to know which material to use for the installation.
Kirtley & Sons Roofing shares the basics of the top three commercial roofing options today: TPO, PVC and EPDM roofing.
TPO Roofing
TPO (thermoplastic olefin) roofing is a kind of single-ply roofing membrane. It is made of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber that have been polymerized together. It is widely used due to its numerous benefits. TPO roofs are:
-
Typically, less expensive than other commercial roofing options, making it cost-efficient.
-
Highly durable. They can withstand debris, algae, dirt, bacteria, chemical and ultraviolet (UV) exposure very well.
-
Easy to install, thanks to their light weight and flexibility.
-
Are energy-efficient.
PVC Roofing
As one of the trusted roofing contractors in the area, we also recommend PVC (polyvinyl chloride) roofing. It also offers a considerable set of advantages. PVC roofs are:
-
Cost-efficient.
-
Specially designed for strength.
-
Highly durable as they have hot-welded seams, making them exceptionally strong and watertight.
-
Have a long service life.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) roofing is a type of membrane roofing that is widely popular for its durability. It’s essentially a form of rubber roofing. EPDM roofs are:
-
Made of recycled material, and they are eco-friendly.
-
Reflect heat away effectively, helping cut down on energy costs in summer.
-
Are highly waterproof.
-
Have a lifespan of 30 to 50 years.
