You Have A Few Proven Options For Commercial Roofing & Longevity

What you decide is based on budget, needs, and/or what is already existing now…

There are a few popular and common options when it comes to commercial or flat roofing. The most common is “TPO”, or “Thermoplastic Polyolefin”. This is a single-layer membrane that is the most cost-effective. However, when something is more “cost-effective” is typically means it doesn’t last as long. and this is exactly the case with TPO roofing. But this is a durable, long-lasting flat roof membrane option.

Other popular options include; EPDM, or “Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer”, which is a type of synthetic rubber commonly used outdoors for roofing, window, and door seals. EPDM Membrane creates an airtight and weathertight seal and can be used for a wide variety of applications. EPDM has been around for many years and is most common in old buildings that still have the original roofing membrane intact. This is a labor-intensive multi-layer installation process, and is the most expensive option, but lasts the longest time.

Lastly, there is PVC, or “Polyvinyl Chloride” (PVC) single-ply are among the most popular commercial roofing products available today. They’re remarkably durable and highly resistant to some of the toughest flat-roof aggressors like fire, chemicals, and hurricane-level winds. This system is very durable, but somewhat labor-intensive as well. The cost for this type of roofing is in between TPO, and the EPDM option.
