Many people would agree that durability, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness are the top qualities to look for in a new commercial roofing system. With the variety of options available, however, it’s more challenging to choose the perfect roof for your business establishment. CMS Roofing, one of the premier roofing contractors in the area, recommends two types of roofing systems for your property.
TPO Roofing System
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roof is a single-ply roofing system that is popular on many properties with a low-slope or flat roofing system. It’s specifically designed to have the advantages of a rubber roof, combined with hot-air weldable seams for superior durability. This type of roofing system is also one of the fastest growing single-ply roofs in the United States.
What makes TPO roofs an excellent choice? This roofing system is highly resistant to tears, punctures and debris impact. Its flexibility also allows for the building’s movement and settling, without compromising the roof’s performance and service life. TPO roofing systems are also thermally efficient as they can reflect ultraviolet (UV) rays, preventing heat from affecting the building’s indoor temperature. This can help drive your utility costs down and maintain comfort levels indoors.
PVC Roofing System
Your commercial roofer may also suggest Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) roof for your upcoming installation project. This durable roofing system surpasses the American Society of Testing Materials’ minimum breaking strength of 200 pounds per inch. It is also highly resistant to chemical damage, making it ideal for manufacturing facilities.
Apart from PVC roof’s tensile strength, it’s also known for its energy efficiency. This type of roof has high solar reflectivity, which helps minimize your heating and cooling costs.
