Common Types of Commercial Roofs & Their Benefits
-
- Built-Up Roofing (Gravel Roofs)
A built-up roof (BUR) features multiple layers of asphalt or bitumen, topped with gravel for UV protection and durability. While long-lasting, these roofs can develop cracks, leaks, or lose gravel over time—making professional gravel roof removal and replacement essential for preventing water damage.
Advantages: Strong UV resistance, long lifespan, durable under foot traffic.
Best For: Large flat or low-slope roofs in regions with high sun exposure.
- TPO Commercial RoofingThermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply membrane known for its energy efficiency and bright, reflective surface. TPO resists UV rays, chemicals, and punctures, making it one of the fastest-growing choices for commercial properties.
Advantages: Lower cooling costs, eco-friendly, long-term durability.
Best For: Businesses seeking energy savings and a modern, low-maintenance solution.
- EPDM Commercial RoofingEPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane prized for flexibility and weather resistance. It’s a great option for varying climates and can last decades with proper care.
Advantages: Proven track record, excellent in extreme temperatures, cost-effective.
Best For: Buildings in areas with both hot summers and cold winters.
