How Does Commercial Roofing Work?
Commercial roofing involves several key steps, including inspection, assessment, planning, material selection, installation, and ongoing maintenance. A professional commercial roofer will conduct a thorough inspection of the existing roof, identify any issues or damage, and provide recommendations for repairs or replacement. They will then work closely with the property owner or manager to develop a comprehensive plan and select the appropriate roofing materials and systems.
Common Commercial Roofing Issues
Generally, properly installed roofs last for decades. However, roofs can become damaged due to various issues, which compromises their structural integrity. The concerns of commercial roofs are different from those of residential ones. Some common problems faced by commercial roofs are:
-
Water accumulation: Commercial roofs typically don't have a lot of slope. Moreover, flat roofs don't allow for sloping. If adequate drainage is not provided, the roof will suffer from pooling water, which causes moisture damage.
-
Improper installation: If you don't choose seasoned commercial roofers to install your roof, it will continue to suffer from the consequences of improper installation. Poor installation will decrease the life of your commercial roof.
-
Lack of maintenance: Commercial property managers might hesitate to invest in professional roof maintenance services. This causes many minor issues to go undetected and turn into irreversible problems.
These are only some of the many problems faced by commercial roofs. Would you like to know more? Please contact our team today. You can also find out more valuable information on our regularly updated blog.
Types of Commercial Roofing Systems
When it comes to commercial roofing, there are several types of roofing systems to choose from. Each type has its unique characteristics and benefits. Here are some popular options:
-
Built-up roofing (BUR): Built-up roofing systems, also known as "tar and gravel" roofs, consist of multiple layers of asphalt and reinforcing materials. These layers are applied with hot asphalt or cold adhesives, creating a durable and weather-resistant surface. BUR roofs are known for their longevity and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic.
-
Single-ply membrane: Single-ply membrane roofing systems are made of synthetic materials and are available in different types, including EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), TPO (thermoplastic olefin), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). These membranes are lightweight, flexible, and easy to install. They offer excellent resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions.
-
Modified bitumen: Modified bitumen roofing systems are asphalt-based sheets that are reinforced with polyester or fibreglass. They are designed to provide enhanced durability and flexibility. Modified bitumen roofs are known for their excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for regions with extreme weather conditions.
When choosing the right roofing system for your commercial property, factors such as budget, building structure, climate, and maintenance requirements should be considered. Consulting with a professional commercial roofer like Belvedere Roofing Ltd can help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and preferences.
Commercial Roofing Installation Process
The commercial roofing installation process typically involves the following steps:
-
Preparation: Clearing the existing roof, ensuring proper ventilation, and addressing any underlying issues.
-
Substrate installation: Installing insulation, vapour barriers, and other necessary layers to create a stable base for the roof.
-
Roofing material installation: Applying the selected roofing material according to the manufacturer's guidelines, including proper sealing and fastening.
-
Flashing and waterproofing: Installing flashing around roof penetrations, such as vents and chimneys, and applying waterproofing membranes to ensure a watertight seal.
-
Finishing touches: Completing the installation with edge trims, gutter systems, and any additional accessories or features required.
