Commercial roofing systems are quite distinct from residential roof systems. If you are a business owner or a property manager in charge of building maintenance, it’s important to equip yourself with the right information about commercial roofing. In this post, trusted local contractor Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC bares the facts behind some of the most popular misconceptions about commercial roofs.
Many people assume that all commercial roofs are basically the same. But much like residential roofing, commercial roofs can be made from different materials. Take a quick look at commercial roofing options and you’ll find metal roofs, single-layer membrane roofs and traditional built-up roofs. To determine the best type of commercial roofing for your property, it’s best to consult roofing professionals.
Wrinkled membrane roofs may not require urgent action, but they shouldn’t be ignored for long. The adhesives used during roof installation should be able to prevent these wrinkles. Once you notice these deformities on your roof, it’s best to call up your roofing contractor because it may mean the adhesives failed.
Commercial roofs are made with different materials and offer different features and levels of energy efficiency. Some are better than others at lowering your building’s energy costs. For best results look for a “cool roof,” i.e., one with a reflective surface that can reflect the heat from the sun, thus reduce the amount of heat absorbed through your roofing material.
