Is Rubber Roofing the Best Solution for Flat Roofs?

Rubber roofing is seen by many to be one of the best Highlands Ranch roofing companies solutions when it comes to installing a commercial flat roof. There are many reasons for that, but before we go into them, it’s important to mention the various types of flat roofing systems that you can consider installing. Aside from rubber roofing, these might include modified bitumen, BUR, TPO, metal roofing and asphalt roofs.

 

Compared to these types of roofing, rubber has the edge in a few categories, being stronger and much less likely to crack when the weather goes extreme. As a result, if you live in an area where hail is common, or winds are typically strong, you might want to consider a rubber roof as opposed to asphalt, BUR or various membrane roofs. Even TPO can be less resilient when compared to rubber in certain instances.

 

Rubber roofing is also able to last for a long time if you take proper care of it. Most of the time, it will last for up to 30 years or so even if it’s neglected. Provide it with proper maintenance, and it’s not uncommon to see a rubber roofing system outlast even a metal one and exceed half a century when it comes to its durability. That alone can make rubber roofs some of the most advantageous roofing systems you might consider.
