Built-Up Roofing ď śOne of the commercial roofing services that some roofing companies offer is the built-up roofing (BUR). This roofing category provides multiple layers of protection against water and is the best option to consider if you are on a lookout for a roofing system that requires less maintenance. It can easily withstand the weight of people walking on top of it during roof repair.

Modified Bitumen Roofing ď śThis is another asphalt based commercial roofing system suitable for rooftops with high traffic. Bitumen roofing comes in 1-ply to 3-ply material and can last up to 20 years. Protective benefits include protection from the heat of the sun, which is obviously greater in 3-ply roofing.

Green Roofs ď śYet another type of roof that commercial roofing companies offer these days is the green roof. They are flat roofs partially or completely covered with vegetation planted over a waterproofing membrane. These systems dramatically improve the insulation value of a roof by reducing the urban heat island effect. They enhance the life of the roof and bring down the heating and cooling costs of the building.

Single-Ply Roofing ď śThis one is a time-tested roofing option for commercial facilities. Single-ply roofing is flexible sheets of compounded plastic-derived material that covers and protects flat and lowsloped buildings. These prefabricated membranes can be attached in a variety of methods and have certain advantages over traditional materials due to their flexibility, high durability, and strength.

Tri-Thermal Roofing System ď śThe tri-thermal roofing system provides maximum waterproofing even when there are roof punctures. Since this roofing system reflects light from the sun, it helps keep the interior of the building cooler and results in energy savings. This roofing system is a combination of two roofing systems, which are the spray-applied polyurethane foam roof and the EPDM roofing material.
