Roll Roofing is one of the most popular types of roofing for commercial buildings. Commercial buildings mostly have flat roofs or low slope roofs and roll roofing is designed for flat and low sloped roofs. If you are also planning for the roof installation or roof replacement of a commercial building of flat roofs then Roll Roofing would be the best option for you. The common problems faced by the flat roofing are leakage and moisture. Roll roofing is designed in the way which helps in keeping the water and moisture away from the roofs. If your building has slightly flat roofing then also you can opt for roll roofing. There are many types of roll roofing, some are installed directly on the roof deck.
Whereas some types of roll roofing require adhesive and nailing so that the roll roofing should properly adhere to the surface of your roof deck. The installation process of roll roofing is much easier and less time consuming than any other types of roofing. The types of roll roofing are EPDM roofing, Rubber roofing, TPO roofing and Bitumen roofing.
PROS
Roll Roofing is one of the most affordable types of roofing compared to others available in the market. Because roll roofing is very light in weight compared to the heavy shingles which are very difficult to transport and carry, the process of installation of roll roofing is very easy and it is easier to carry as well. Gone those days when the roll roofing used to come only in black, grey or white colors. The latest type of roll roofing comes in various color options. So you can install whichever color of roll roofing you want.
CONS
One of the biggest drawbacks of Roll Roofing is that this type of roofing doesn’t have much longevity as compared to other types of roofing. Where shingles can last up to more than 20 years, Roll Roofing has the lifespan of about five to eight years. The Roll Roofing is a large sheet adhered on the surface of the roof that is why it is very difficult to extract them into pieces, unlike the shingles. If any minor damage happens to the membrane of Roll Roofing then you will have to replace the whole sheet which is not the case if we compare it to shingles. Roll Roofing doesn’t provide your building the glam effect. It is very ordinary looking roofing, which is why people avoid using it in residential buildings. Roll Roofing is mostly used in the commercial building.
INSTALLATION
Roll roofing is the easiest to install among-st all other types. Roll Roofing is different from other types of roofing because it has just a single layer whereas other types of roofing consist of at least three layers. It can be rolled down on your surface or you can install them using adhesive, depending on the brand of Roll Roofing you are using. Attach the edge of the Roll Roofing along with the edge of the roof of your building using the roofing cement. Clean the roof of your building properly and look for if any debris, nails and screws are not present on the roof. Measure the length of your roof and cut the piece of your Roll Roofing accordingly. Roll out your roofing, if your Roll Roofing requires any adhesive material then apply that and roll it out on the surface of your roof deck.
