Commercial Roofing Material Comparison

Commercial roofing ranges from a small business office to a colossal industrial manufacturing plant. Roof
types are either Pitched, or Flat (low slope).

Commercial Pitched Roof

Pitched roof material is, more often than not, some type of shingle or metal installation.

Commercial Flat Roofing

As mentioned before, commercial flat roofs present many obstacles you will not find on a pitched roof.
Building ventilation system, large AC units, etc, along with numerous vent pipings and other protrusions.
Not only are these obstacles, they can also be, depending on the roofing material used, a source of
continued maintenance expense.
Consider the type of protection commercial / industrial
buildings with flat roofs require from the roof system.  
Protecting not only people, but expensive equipment,
machinery, inventory etc.  Choosing a long term, high
quality roof system seems the only practical option.  

When contemplating material options, one must consider
the cost to not only INSTALL the new roof, but to OWN the
roof after installation.

Installing a "cheap" roof will obviously cost you less money
to install, what many do not consider is the added expense
for the required continuous maintenance to keep the roof
from leaking. Not to mention the short life span of "cheap"
roof material installation, some as low as five years, even
with continued maintenance.

The notion of having to replace a flat roof on a commercial building every 10 years seems to be
acceptable to most contractors, and therefore, building owners.

Reality is, there is an alternative! Installing a high quality roof, is actually less expensive, in a short period
of time.  

Commonly installed flat roof materials

There are many different material options that have been installed on flat, or low slope commercial
buildings for many years. As we have already addressed, a good portion of the materials used on flat
roofs, are very low quality, require continued maintenance, short service life, and limited short warranty
period.
