GET TO KNOW THE COMPLETE COMMERCIAL ROOFING SYSTEM

A complete roofing system is essential for the longevity of your business, as it provides comprehensive protection against weather elements and potential structural damage. Each component plays a crucial role in ensuring your roof functions effectively. A well-installed roofing system enhances energy efficiency, reduces the risk of leaks, and prevents mold growth, ultimately saving you money on repairs and energy bills.

1. Roof Deck

  • Definition: The base or structural component of the roof to which all other layers are attached. Typically made of wood, concrete, or metal, it serves as the foundation for the roofing system.

  • Function: Supports the entire roofing system and provides a stable surface for insulation and waterproofing layers.

2. Vapor Barrier (or Vapor Retarder)

  • Definition: A membrane installed between the roof deck and insulation to prevent moisture from penetrating the system.

  • Function: Prevents moisture from inside the building from reaching and damaging the insulation and other roof components, helping avoid condensation issues.

3. Insulation

  • Definition: A layer of material (commonly foam, fiberglass, or mineral wool) that helps reduce heat transfer through the roof.

  • Function: Enhances the energy efficiency of the building by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs.

4. Roof Membrane

  • Definition: The waterproofing layer of the roof that protects against water infiltration. There are several types of commercial roof membranes, including:

    • TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A reflective, single-ply membrane known for energy efficiency.

    • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer): A durable, synthetic rubber membrane ideal for extreme weather.

    • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A durable, fire-resistant single-ply membrane.

    • Modified Bitumen: Asphalt-based, multi-layered membranes often used for low-slope roofs.

  • Function: Acts as a waterproof shield, preventing leaks and water damage.

5. Flashing

  • Definition: Metal (usually aluminum or galvanized steel) pieces used to seal joints, edges, and roof penetrations, such as chimneys, vents, and skylights.

  • Function: Prevents water from entering the roofing system at vulnerable points by directing it away from seams, joints, and roof edges.

6. Drainage System

  • Definition: Components like gutters, downspouts, and internal drains that remove water from the roof surface.

  • Function: Ensures proper water flow to prevent ponding, leaks, and structural damage due to standing water on the roof.

7. Roofing Surface Coating

  • Definition: A protective layer applied to the outermost layer of the roof membrane, often used with flat or low-slope roofs. Common types include elastomeric, silicone, and acrylic coatings.

  • Function: Enhances the durability, UV resistance, and waterproofing of the roof membrane, as well as improves energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight.

8. Roof Penetrations

  • Definition: Openings in the roof for elements like HVAC systems, skylights, pipes, and vents.

  • Function: Roof penetrations are necessary for functionality but must be properly sealed and flashed to prevent leaks.

9. Parapet Walls

  • Definition: Low walls around the perimeter of the roof, extending above the roof surface.

  • Function: Provides additional protection from wind uplift and directs water toward the drainage system. Parapet walls are often part of the building’s architectural design as well.

10. Roof Edge (Coping or Edge Metal)

  • Definition: Metal caps or flashings installed at the edges of the roof, where the roof meets the walls.

  • Function: Protects the edges of the roofing system from water infiltration and wind damage, providing a finished look.

11. Expansion Joints

  • Definition: Flexible materials installed between sections of the roof to allow for movement due to thermal expansion and contraction.

  • Function: Prevents damage to the roof system caused by expansion and contraction as temperatures change.

12. Roof Hatch or Access Points

  • Definition: A door or opening that allows workers to access the roof from inside the building.

  • Function: Provides safe and secure access for maintenance, repairs, and inspections.

13. Walkway Pads

  • Definition: Durable mats or pads installed on the roof in high-traffic areas (like around HVAC units or near access points).

  • Function: Protects the roof membrane from damage caused by foot traffic, extending the life of the roof system.
