This article will discuss the most common commercial roof types as well as the roofing materials used.

It is important to remember that commercial roofs can be either flat or low-slope. This limits the choices for roofing materials. These are the most popular roof types.

1. ROOFING MEMBRANE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED

Built-up roofing, or "BUR", is a tar-and-gravel roof. It is composed of several layers (piles).

2. ROOF MADE OF METAL

Metal roofing has become very popular due to the variety of metal materials that are available.

3. Galvanized steel corrugated

Aluminum, zinc, and silicon-coated Steel Aggregates
Metal tile sheets
Copper\sAluminum
The strong material is stainless steel.
Steel with stone-finish
Tin and lead

Protective coatings protect the metal from rusting and keep it safe from the sun and other environmental hazards. Metal roofing offers the additional benefit of a polished appearance. If money and durability are important to you, then metal roofing is the best choice. Metal roofs are more durable and stronger than commercial roofing. They also have higher fire resistance ratings. Metal roofs can be used to create a sustainable design for your home.

4. ROOFING WITH MODIFIED BITUMEN

Reinforced roof fabrics are used to transport bitumen. The fabric is cut in layers and laid the same as BUR membranes. These two-ply roofing systems attach to the roof deck to provide maximum stability and protection. They are typically attached to business rooftops as two-ply systems.

Regular inspections and cleaning are all necessary for maintaining modified bitumen roofs. Modified bitumen roofs can withstand greater foot traffic and are more durable than flat roof types.

4. ROOF MEMBRANE WITH THERMOSET

EPDM roofing, also known as Thermoset roofing, is a long-lasting, versatile roofing material that can be easily installed. EPDM is a single-ply rubber that resists UV radiation.

5. ROOFING WITH GREEN MATERIALS

Green roofs are one of the most versatile types of business roofs. These roofs are becoming more popular over time and can be used for commercial and business purposes.
