Commercial roofing is different from residential roofing. It involves more square footage, more durable materials and, in many cases, a different type of roof altogether. While residential roofs have many features like slopes, eaves, chimney and other decorative features, commercial roofs are typically flat. Fortunately, our contractors are skilled in maintaining and repairing many types of commercial roofing:

BENEFITS OF TPO ROOF

QUICK APPLICATION

One of our favorite characteristics of TPO roofing is the ease and speed of installation. No tar, no torches, no mess. Mule-Hide TPO Roofing Systems install quickly and economically. Available in widths of 8′, 10′ and 12′ for less seams and less labor compared to standard PVC sheets. Mule-Hide is a local manufacturer who backs their warranties and stocks products locally when you need a roof installed ASAP.

Light Weight

Completely watertight seal, yet lightweight, making it ideal for new construction and retrofit installations without adding too much weight to the roof deck. TPO can handle the desert sun, sand, arctic freezes and torrential downpours because it is ultra flexible. It has the ability to expand and contract without tearing or cracking with the strongest warranty in the industry. Stands up to rooftop traffic, tools and equipment. Mule-Hide also has some great walkpad accessories that we can install to reduce chance of damage from vendors walking on your roof (HVAC, Plumbing, etc.).

MULE-HIDE TPO

Energy Efficient

Make sure you wear your sunglasses when standing on a TPO roof. TPO has a brilliant white surface that has been shown to reflect up to 78% of heat from the sun to reduce the cost of cooling and air conditioning your commercial building. The top tier reflectivity of the TPO also reduces the heat build-up under the roofing membrane.

Resistance

We challenge anyone to try and tear Mule-Hide TPO. It is virtually indestructible to abrasion, impacts, or tearing. There is more product on top of the scrim where it matters, Mule-Hide offers the thickest top ply in the industry. If somehow you are able to damage this innovative system, the TPO membrane remains repairable year after year, allowing for ease of future cutouts, alterations and tie-ins. TPO is very easy to clean due to its hydrophobic nature, this system will remain looking like new for many years. TPO provides the highest resistance to fire, UV, airborne bacteria, and industrial pollutants such as air-conditioning coolants than any other commercial roofing application for flat roofs. SPC is a green company so the fact that Mule-Hide’s TPO contains no chlorine to reduce toxins in our environment is an extra benefit.

MODIFIED BITUMEN

Modified Bitumen Roofing, often just referred to as ‘modified roofing’ is a premium, low-slope commercial option. his type of low slope roofing material is referred to as modified bitumen due to it’s material makeup which consists of modifiers that are added to standard roofing asphalt to replace plasticizers removed during the distillation process. Bitumen is reinforced with fiberglass or polyester fiber matting in order to increase durability and strength.

The two most common types are SBS and APP. The use of SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) increases the flexibility of the membrane and allows it to have stronger expansion and contraction capabilities. A standard SBS modified bitumen roof system is a two-ply system applied in rolls that overlap the edge of the previous roll. The other type of modified bitumen roof is the APP (attactic polypropylene) which is used for its ability to increase the aging ability of the roof system. SBS is often the more popular system as the synthetic rubber additive increases the products flexibility.

BUILT-UP ROOFING

Built-up roofing provides multiple layers of protection against water intrusion.

Built-up roofing is a centuries old roofing practice that utilizes more than one layer of water-proofing membrane to keep the water out of your building.

Built up roofing systems, often referred to as BUR, have been utilized in the U.S. for over 100 years. These systems are an incredibly reliable waterproof membrane that is field fabricated with layers of bitumen alternated with reinforcing felts. Commonly referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs, built-up systems redundant layers give it exceptional resistance to water and weather.

SINGLE PLY ROOFING

What is single-ply roofing?

Single-Ply Roofing membranes are systems that that are applied in one layer. Single-Ply membranes come in five basic types: (1) Ballasted, (2) Fully-Adhered,(3) Mechanically-Fastened, (4) Partially-Adhered, and (5) Self-Adhered. Seams of Single-Ply Membranes can be heat welded, solvent welded, and adhered using seam tape or other adhesives.

COMMERCIAL METAL ROOFING

Metal Roofing provides outstanding durability and low life-cycle costs. Metal roofing is a staple of the commercial roofing market because of the material’s outstanding durability, design flexibility and low lifecycle costs. More and more commercial, industrial, and small building owners are selecting metal roofing for a portion of, or the whole, roofing assembly such as banks, schools, restaurants, warehouses, distribution centers, etc.

Metal roofing and wall panels are a great low-maintenance solution that provide commercial grade performance while still enhancing the aesthetics of the building. Metal roofing panels tend to be easier to install and allow for design flexibility which is an appealing option for most commercial building owners; saving time on installation and providing the option to customize your structure to fit specific design needs.

STANDING SEAM

Standing seam roofs have distinctive vertical patterns with clean lines and hidden fasteners that many people find more attractive on residential, agricultural and commercial buildings. You can find them covering entire roofs, or as architectural accents covering bay windows, dormers, verandas and porches. There are many inexpensive options when looking to replace your roof. However, if looking to make the most out of your investment a standing seam metal roof could be the right choice. Read on to find out more about the advantages and disadvantages to determine if it is right for you.
