Low Slope Roofing Services
Low slope roofing uses roofing systems that are made and intended specifically for low slope applications to act as protection against rain, wind and undesirable weather conditions. Low slope roofing will protect the building and contents while contributing to energy efficiency, longer roof life and increase the overall value of the building. Locations serviced include Burnaby and Richmond.
From houses to massive commercial buildings, low slope roofs can be constructed using TPO, EPDM, PVC, or modified bitumen. These roofs are not only protecting occupants and contents but also assist in maximizing energy use, mitigating maintenance costs, and maximizing usable rooftop space for HVAC units, solar panels, or gardens.
A low slope roof’s actual performance relates to the roof material, design, and professional roof installation. When your low slope roof is installed and maintained properly, you’ll be getting the most durability, best weather protection, and most assurance of protection for the year, all while being cost-effective and energy-conscious.
Benefits of Low Slope Roofing
Cool roofs are more efficient than conventional roofs since they absorb much less heat which enables a structure to save on energy bills. Utility bills, air conditioning expenses, and heat inside the building all improve. A cool roof can also lead to a reduction in heat related building damage, which improves the structures lifespan.
Urban cool roofs also have the ability to enhance outdoor comfort in urban areas which can reduce the heat island effect. Buildings can also be equipped with cool roofs made out of metal panels and specialty coatings. Proper placement will enhance the performance and weather resistance of the cool roof, and its temperature control ability around the year.
Low Slope Roof Coatings
Low slope roof coatings are a unique layer applied to roofing systems to improve durability, weather resistance, and improved energy efficiency. Low slope roof coatings are normally reflective or elastomeric materials that provide heat reduction by limiting the amount of recaptured heat in the roof, the indoor temperature, and energy use. Low slope roof coatings serve as a barrier to UV damage, water intrusion, and thermal building stress (expansion/contraction), which prolong life.
You can apply low slope roofing coatings to either new or existing low slope roofing systems. Low slope roof coatings are a more affordable way of providing environmental performance improvement, waterproofing and less long-term maintenance.
Long-Term Benefits of Low Slope Roofing
It is designed to provide reliable water run-off, with little potential for leaks or damage to the building structure. Since fewer materials are required, installation and maintenance are likely to be less expensive. Low slope roofs create the opportunity to use some energy efficient technology items, such as solar panels and HVAC systems.
One last point concerning longevity and adaptability, they make an intelligent long term investment for users in that they provide safety, diminution in costs, and a sustainability for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a low slope roof?
A low slope roof is built and installed with a small pitch to effectively drive the water off of it, protecting it from regular rains, wind, and storms. Low slope roofs can be built for houses or businesses.
What are the low slope roof materials?
TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen are frequently chosen materials for low slope roof installations. These substances are designed to be durable, weather resilient, and possess energy efficiency rates.
Does energy efficiency increase with low slope roofs?
Low slope roofs can utilize reflective or insulating materials that minimize heat absorption and help to maintain constant indoor temperatures while minimizing your heating and air conditioning expenses. Roof coatings additionally provide energy savings by reflecting UV radiation.
Are low slope roofs simple to maintain?
Yes. Reflective materials or insulation can be used on low slope roofs, which will assist in reducing heat absorption into the building interior. By reducing heat absorption, it keeps the internal building temperature consistent, which can reduce heating and cooling expenses. Low slope roof coatings assist you in being more energy efficient by reflecting UV rays as well.
