Commercial Steep Slope Roofing Repair & Installation
As its name would indicate, a Steep Slope Roof typically has a roof slope of 3:12 or greater. As most Commercial Roofs are flat, a Commercial Steep Slope Roof is opened up to a few more options for suitable Commercial Roofing Materials.
Due to its steep slope, the concern for pooling water or gathering of debris is limited as gravity allows for natural roll off away from the building. This advantage leads to decreased maintenance and damage.
Suitable Commercial Steep Slope Roofing Materials
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt Shingles are the most commonly used roofing material for Commercial Steep Slope Roofs due to its affordability and efficiency. The many styles and colors of asphalt shingle roofs make it a popular choice as much of the roof is visible, allowing for an aesthetically pleasing commercial building. Asphalt Shingle Roofs are also among the easiest to install and maintain over time.
Tile Roofing Systems
Tile Roofing Systems are another popular choice for Commercial Steep Slope Buildings for several reasons. Tile Roofing Material is available in several different materials, styles, and colors allowing for flexibility in design preferences. Tile Roofs are also known for their durability, and are often used in areas with harsh weather climates. For the building owner who wishes to add a particularly unique style, a Tile Roofing System is a great way to go!
Wood Shakes
Wooden Shakes are essentially wood shingles typically crafted from cedar, cypress, pine, and redwood trees. They are often pressure treated and soaked with fire retardants and chemical preservatives. Wood Shake Roofing systems provide a beautiful old world style to a commercial property, but are generally more expensive and higher maintenance than more traditional roofing systems.
Metal Roofs
A Metal Roof, although less common, is a viable Commercial Steep Slope Roofing Material. Recent improvements in the custom design of metal roofing material has provided property owners with many more stylish options, and they still provide the performance of a traditional metal roof. Metal roofs are also known for outstanding wind and fire resistance.
