The roof of your commercial property is an essential factor in ensuring the smooth flow of your business. After all, your building’s roofing system protects everyone and everything inside the property. This is why it’s important to pay attention to the kind of commercial roofing you’re using.
There are different types of commercial roofing in Austin. In this Commercial Roofing Series entry, Willi Roofing Services focuses on single-ply EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer).
This type is a thermostat membrane compounded from rubber-polymer. It is most commonly known as rubber roofing. It can be used on a wide range of roof surfaces, such as flat, spherical, slanted, and curved. It has a lot of features and benefits, including the following:
- Affordability
Single-ply EPDM is relatively more affordable compared with other roofing systems. The material used is more affordable, making it a good choice for business owners who have a tight budget. Moreover, single-ply EPDM is lightweight and easy to install. This means that labor and installation costs are lower than those of other roofing systems. One thing to remember though is that single-ply EPDM requires the services of certified and licensed contractors. Willi Roofing Services is a licensed contractor that understands the ins and outs of commercial roofing installation. We’ll make sure to take care of your EPDM roof installation.
- Durability
Another advantage of single-ply EPDM is durability. As this type of roofing is installed in a single piece, there are very few seams where water can seep through. With this, you can be sure that water will not get into your home and cause damage. The rubber material can also withstand harmful ultraviolet rays, high winds, and hail, making sure it can last for more than 50 years. Willi Roofing Services ensures the durability and reliability of roofing materials by using only those that are made by leading manufacturers in the country.
- Energy Efficiency
Using this type of roofing in Austin will allow you to cut down on energy costs. It can regulate the temperature inside a building, keeping it cool during hot weather conditions and warm during cold seasons. This prevents your cooling and heating equipment from overworking, helping save energy.
These are only some of the features and benefits that can make you consider single-ply EPDM for your commercial property. If you don’t know how to go about its installation, we can help you out. For a free estimate, call us at (512) 394-9994.
