Sealing the Roof Deal: Overview of Commercial Roofing Systems
A wise man once said, “The roof is the pivotal factor in any endeavor.” Alright, we might have embellished that a bit, but it’s all in good humor. Fact of the matter is: according to the National Roofing Contractors Association, Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing systems are American’s go-to commercial roofing solution. They cover roughly 40% of the commercial roofing market – a fact that makes one raise an eyebrow (or in this case, a roof tile).

Allow us to introduce you to Built-Up Roofing (BUR) – a beacon of reliability in commercial roofing techniques. In roofing circles, BUR is the equivalent of a classic 1962 Corvette, relying on an intricate layer-play of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics to pave the way towards a safe and secure finished membrane. Yet, despite its age, BUR roofing systems are still widely used, a testament to their time-tested durability.

This not only sounds high-tech, but also operates as a heat shield, reflecting UV rays and reducing cooling costs within buildings. TPO is more than just a pretty face – it’s energy efficiency and durability rolled into one.
