With many years of experience, DU Pont Roofing can install many practical solutions for commercial use. The kind of commercial roofing system these enormous projects need depends on economic feasibility, roof traffic, warehouse materials, and long-term management versus short-term leasing. A commercial building’s roof may be a significant source of energy waste. The ability of commercial roofing systems to absorb solar heat is well known. While a building’s capacity for heat absorption could be helpful for specific institutions during the winter, it frequently results in money being squandered all around.

Commercial Roofing Materials We Use

Modified Bitumen

The improved built-up roof is now known as modified bitumen (Mod Bit) roofing. They can be torch-applied or installed using cold adhesive and typically consist of two to three plies of asphaltic felts. Mod bit roofs typically have a top sheet with granules on the surface and come in various colors. To comply with LEED criteria, some producers modified cap sheets to increase their solar reflectance. This membrane is created in uniform sheets called “ply sheets,” which are primarily made of bitumen that has been strengthened with polymers and one or more layers of fabric. In the fabrication, polyester, glass, or a mix of the two materials may be used. When used in roofing, the end product can be made up of many sheets of modified bitumen and asphalt to make a homogenous matrix. Modified bitumen is a top option when there may be movement or bending of the roof’s underlying deck due to its increased resistance and endurance in harsh situations. Due to the several layers, modified bitumen roofs produce impermeable barriers that last for many years. These bitumen layers, when constructed, display extraordinary resistance to heat transmission between the buildings’ interior and exterior. Costs associated with heating and cooling are reduced noticeably as a result. The modified bitumen is more fire resistant due to the thermoplastic polymers employed in its manufacture. This roofing system’s use of technology makes it both inexpensive and simple to produce.

EPDM

For more than 40 years, the low-slope roofing industry has discovered EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diane Monomer rubber) roofing material to be an appealing option. EPDM is installed completely wrapped, statically attached, with the sidewalls of the roofing system enclosed with liquid adhesive or specially formulated Velcro. The lifespan of EPDM is approximately 50 years.

Built-Up Roofing

To create built-up roofing (BUR) systems, fiberglass felts are often put in layers of three to four over the padding or other materials that are embedded in either hot steep asphalt or cold asphalt adhesive. Due to their longevity and ease of installation, BUR systems are often one of the least priced roofing solutions, particularly in big, new construction settings.

TPO

Since it is exceptionally resistant to UV radiation, thermoplastic olefin (TPO) is being used more frequently in roofing. TPO is available in various colors, including highly-reflective bright colors that qualify for LEED points. It may be installed on low-slope or steep-slope roofs. One of the cheapest and most recyclable materials available is TPO. Thanks to integrated UV protection, it is also one of the most climate-resistant materials available. In the summer, TPO keeps structures cool. This material is a top option when looking for roofing systems that can withstand intense storms and extreme weather because of its ability to withstand even the most extreme weather without expanding and contracting.
