Start with the Basics: Selecting a Commercial Roof
Making the right roofing choice can save you time and money while boosting your building’s performance. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Consider the Roof’s Purpose and Function
Every roof has a purpose. Identify yours to ensure the system you choose meets all requirements.
2. Evaluate the Available Roofing Materials
Your choice of material plays a major role in your roof’s performance. Here’s an overview of the top options:
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Known for longevity and low maintenance, EPDM works well for commercial applications.
- Cool Roofs with TPO: A heat-reflective roofing material that helps keep the building cool and energy-efficient.
- Weather-Resistant Metal Systems: Low-maintenance and visually appealing, metal roofs are a top-tier choice.
- Durable Bitumen Roofing: A durable, cost-effective option that is commonly used in low-slope commercial roofs.
3. Assess the Climate and Weather Conditions
Your local weather affects your roof’s durability and performance. Select a system that thrives in your conditions.
Step 4: Budgeting for Your Roof
Think beyond the initial price tag—consider your roof’s total cost over time.
