Different types of roofing systems can be installed on a variety of buildings. Several factors must be considered when figuring out what is best for your building. You should consult a roofing professional for more information about roofing materials and what might be the most suitable material for you. Frame Restoration Roofing and Construction shares some choices to choose from so you can choose the best roofing material for your building.
Single-Ply Roofing System
Single-ply roofing systems are popular these days due to their low-cost durability and extensive warranty coverage. The most popular roofing systems in this category are TPO, PVC and EPDM. Experts often recommend them for workplaces and warehouses where foot traffic is expected to be low.
Built Up Roofing (BUR) System
BUR systems are made up of alternating layers of bitumen (asphalt) and roofing felt fabric. Organic mats (ply sheets) or glass-fiber mats are commonly used to reinforce felts. They produce a resilient roofing membrane with bitumen that can provide good protection for your building. Needless to say, installing a BUR system differs from replacing an asphalt shingle roof, so be sure your contractor is qualified and familiar with this type of roofing.
Modified Bitumen (Mod Bit) Roofing System
Mod Bit systems are made up of factory-fabricated layers of asphalt that have been “modified” with a rubber or plastic component. This increases the material’s flexibility while also increasing its strength and stability. Take notice that Mod Bit systems provide a plethora of alternatives. Make sure to question your contractor about these so you have a good understanding of the options available to you.
