Best Providence Commercial Roofing Solutions for Businesses

commercial roofing solutions providenceWhat type of material is best for Providence commercial roofing? Well, it depends on the kind of structure, the materials used for the existing roof, and the type of business that you run. Choosing the best materials will also depend on where your property is located. Buildings in the New England region have a lot more demands when it comes to standing up to weather conditions and extremely cold temperatures in the winter. You will want to choose a roofing solution that is well-suited for your needs and fits into your budget.

Sheet Metal Roofing

One of the strongest, most durable solutions for commercial roofing is sheet metal. There are many different types of sheet metal roofing available to choose from, depending on your needs. Lower cost options are only available in basic colors and have very limited designs. On the higher end of the spectrum, architectural metal roofing can be designed to look just like other expensive roofing materials, yet boasts all of the long-lasting durability of metal. Metal roofing that looks like costly Spanish tile or expensive slate roofing are just two examples of this popular designer style roof. Available in just about any color you might imagine, sheet metal roofing has come a long way in recent years and is a top pick for sustainable construction projects and renovations.

Single-Ply Roofing

Another common type of material that is used particularly on flat roof structures is Rhode Island single-ply roofing. At A&M Sheet Metal & Roofing, we have two types of roofing materials that fit into this category. Our TPO roofing and EPDM rubber roofing products are affordable, durable, easy to maintain and repair, and even have some unique qualities.

  • TPO stands for Thermoplastic Olefin, which is a roofing material designed to provide all of the long-lasting durability of rubber roofing, but with the additional benefits of hot-air weldable seams. TPO roofing materials are highly resistant to tears, impacts, and punctures. They also are extremely flexible, which means they shift with the structure as it changes over time for excellent coverage. Resistant to ozone, algae, and even high winds, the seam strength of TPO roofing is three to four times the adhesive and tape seams found in EPDM rubber roofing solutions.
  • EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, which is one of the most popular choices for commercial and industrial properties in New England. Great for all types of roofs and businesses, you can even use rubber roofing to damp-proof a structure. UV-stable, ozone-stable, durable, and flexible; this material is perfect for extreme climates. Tested in the heat and humidity of Florida, as well as the freezing cold temperatures of Alaska, EPDM stood up to the various weather changes with excellent results.

Slate Roofing

Another type of material that can be seen on many different structures throughout the New England region is slate roofing. Unlike sheet metal roofing, slate provides customers with a very unique design and installation. The color changes can vary, depending on where the slate rock was mined before it was used for roofing materials. Slate is an excellent choice for natural roofing slates and tiles. It can be broken and split in two ways, which changes the appearance of the finished pieces.

This natural material can last the property owner upwards of 70 years or more. There are some original slate roofs still functioning and protecting the homes and buildings underneath hundreds of years after they were built. While more costly than Rhode Island single-ply roofing or architectural metal roofing, slate roofing materials are designed to last for many, many years and might be the last roof installation that you ever buy.
