With a commercial property, there are more options than you might think when it comes to roofing.
If you’re unhappy with your current roof, you aren’t locked into what you already have. New materials can dramatically change the feel of your commercial property for the better.
To help you understand your options, here are some of the commercial roofing options available to you.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
Sometimes referred to as rubber roofing, it is a popular choice for many commercial properties.
It can be an inexpensive option, which is why so many people choose it. You can expect it to last for around twenty years. Easy to install, it’s usually available in black which can absorb the heat. While this solution isn’t for everyone, it is popular for a reason.
Metal Roofing
The most common material used on commercial roofs is galvanized steel. It offers your property a good level of heat resistance, durability, and will last a long time.
It’s a more expensive option than some of the others, but it does protect your property well against the elements. Reliable and robust, it is an excellent choice for many commercial properties.

PVC
PVC is another lightweight option that offers good value.
It’s known to be durable and can last a long time without the need of any attention. It’s one of the most reliable options for keeping water out as it’s reinforced to make it stronger.
Keep in mind that it is more expensive and can be more costly when it comes to repairs.
Asphalt Rolling
If your roof is low sloped, then this is a standard material used.
Made from the same material as shingles, it is a popular option for flat roofs. It’s rolled out to add the same level of protection that you would expect from asphalt shingles.
It offers a good value option considering how durable it is, and it’s easier to install. Because of this, it doesn’t take long for the application to be completed.
Single Ply
Single ply is a good roofing choice as there is an array of materials to choose from.
Highly resistant to UV rays, it is a flat roof option. It’s made from sheets of synthetic polymer that can be applied to large roof surfaces with ease. Single ply fares well in adverse weather conditions, and although its lifespan isn’t as long as some of the other options, it is often seen as good value.
Whichever option you think will suit your property, they each offer unique benefits. A lot will depend on your budget, so to understand what can be used on your commercial property, it’s a good idea to contact the professionals to take a look at your building.
When they have had a chance to inspect your building, the company will be able to make recommendations based on the size and shape of your property.
