What Are Your Options for Commercial Roofs?

What Are Your Options for Commercial Roofs?

With a new year upon us, it’s time to take care of some of those items on our to-do list. Although you may have saved time delaying these items, the more you delay fixing them, the more it will cost you to make the repairs, especially when it comes to getting a new roof for your business. You can take action now by selecting the roof that’s best suited for your business from the list below.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)

A combination of ethylene and propylene, EPDM is a long-lasting synthetic rubber roof. It is one of the most popular options for a commercial roof due to its resistance to UV radiation, hail damage, and thermal shock. EPDM remains durable even during extremely frigid temperatures.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen roofing is an evolution of the trusted asphalt roofing used today in most residential roofs, but with a better seal. As such, you can count on your modified bitumen commercial roof to remain flexible under extremely frigid temperatures. Additionally, by choosing modified bitumen, you get a simple, yet effective commercial roofing product that reflects heat and reduces the amount of energy you’ll use throughout the year.

Thermoplastic Commercial Roofing

Made of synthetic rubber, a thermoplastic roof is welded together to create a seamless membrane to protect your roof from leaks. There are five types of thermoplastic membrane roofs you can choose from, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), PVC alloys, thermoplastic olefin (TPO), and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). Out of the five types of thermoplastic membrane roofs, PVC and TPO continue to be favorites for most commercial applications.

Metal Roof

Metal roofs have made an exciting comeback over the years. They are durable, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Additionally, when you invest in a metal roof, you won’t have to worry about installing another roof for years. Many metal roofs last 30 to 45 years with proper maintenance.

Built-Up Roofs

Another popular option for commercial roofing is built-up roofs (BUR). These roofs consist of gravel and tar that protects your roof from the elements. You can choose from 3-ply, 4-ply, and 5-ply systems, depending on how long you want your roof to last. Of course, the 5-ply roof has the capacity to last the longest with some enduring for 25 years.

Coated Roofs

Coated roofs are another durable option that will help protect your business for years. A coated roof is a fluid applied over your roof that solidifies after the application. Once it’s hard, it becomes both the underlying system and the top layer that protects your roof from UV radiation, hail, rain, and other elements.

Green Roofs

If keeping your energy bills is a concern to you, then you will find green roofs to be a great option for your business. In essence, a green roof is like having a garden on your commercial roof. With a strategic design, your green roof can be a safe place for your employees while keeping your roof cool and reducing your energy consumption.

At Intelligent Design Corp, we are here to help you choose which roof is best for your business. We’ll help you determine your needs, and then suggest a roof that will meet your requirements. If you are in the market for a new roof, give us a call today so that we can schedule an assessment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
