Flat Roofing Company Chicago

Are you looking for a flat roofing company in Chicago? Well look no further.

Flat Roofing is just as it sounds— a roof that is laid nearly flat and/or shallow.

These simple roofs are also very cost effective.

The materials commonly used are durable but also affordable. Installation is quicker and easier per square foot when compared to shingle roofing.

Different types of Flat Roofing Materials

 

EPDM Rubber

Synthetic rubber is the most common singly-ply membrane roof material for both residential or commercial use.

 

TPO Vinyl

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from polymerized rubber. This rubber is installed by fully adhering or mechanically attaching the system. This kind of roofing material is great for being cost-effective. This reflective roofing material is more energy efficient.

Modified Bitumen Torch Down (insert picture)

Developed in the 1960s as a replacement technology for BUR, or built-up-roof, using the proven technology of BUR and adding a  polymer, the roof is

reinforced by roof wear layers or cap sheets.

Methods Used to install this kind of roof material

• Hot Applied
• Torch Applied
• Cold Applied
• Self-Adhered

Commonly used polymers are atactic polypropylene (APP) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS)

SBS cap sheets are usually installed using cold adhesives or hot asphalt tar. Thermoplastic APP sheets, on the other hand, are installed using the torch applied method.

 

Benefits of a Flat Roof

 

Access and Maintenance

Flat roofs make it easy for anyone who would need to access the roof. For example access to any HVAC units, rain gutters, siding or the necessity for roof repairs as well.

 

Space

Many of our customers utilize the space provided by a flat roof. It lends itself to many different items that might not make sense elsewhere in your business. You can use the space for those items and then can easily access them in the future.

 

Cost

Flat roofs are some of the most affordable options out there. As we said above maintenance is easy and accessible, which means not only for your trusted roofing company but for any other service providers.  You can cut hourly labor surcharges by having everything easily accessible to your maintenance providers.
