A reliable roof is critical for protecting a business and its vital assets from water damage. Unfortunately, a leak can occur at any time and cause a lot of expensive problems. One way to reduce the chance of roofing failure is to have an expert with Commercial Roofing in Burleson TX examine the structure for signs of wear or leaks. The exact procedure will vary with the type of roof in use. For instance, a low-sloped or flat roof will require checking the seams, edges and around any details such as vents for possible issues.
There are several kinds of commercial roofing methods and materials in use including BUR (built-up roofing), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), modified bitumen and steel. BUR is one of the most common roofing systems around, and it works by using multiple layers of asphalt and a water-resistant membrane such as roofing felt. It is also covered with an aggregate such as gravel and may be known as a ballasted roof. BUR tends to be the roof of choice because it is easy to install and most repairs are simple. If the roof is badly damaged, but still stable, then the contractor can place another layer or two over the structure. TPO and modified bitumen provide excellent alternatives to BUR roofing, but both of them have disadvantages. For example, they can be damaged during a heavy hail storm.
For many buildings, the best option for Commercial Roofing in Burleson TX could be steel. Steel panels are durable and extremely strong. Plus, steel comes in a variety of colors, and this helps provide the building with a distinctive appearance. Steel panels need protection from corrosion, and there are several ways to do this such as galvanizing alloys, but the best option may be the use of a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) based paint. This type of coating has excellent color retention, a fine gloss factor and is resistant to wear. PVDF is a non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer that is resistant to many things including solvents such as water. Steel panels also come in several styles and anchoring types. Standing seam panels are perfect for large roofing projects while stone coated steel can be used for excellent visual effects.
