In the realm of commercial roofing, membrane roofing systems have become a popular choice due to their durability, flexibility, and superior waterproofing capabilities. At Tesson Roofing, we specialize in installing and maintaining membrane roofing systems, offering tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of commercial properties in the St. Louis area. Let’s explore what membrane roofing is and why it’s an excellent choice for your commercial building.
Understanding Membrane Roofing
1. Composition
Membrane roofing systems consist of large, flexible sheets or membranes typically made from synthetic rubber (such as EPDM), thermoplastics (like TPO or PVC), or modified bitumen (a blend of asphalt and modifiers). These materials are designed to create a seamless, waterproof barrier over the entire roof surface.
2. Types of Membrane Roofing
– EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer)
EPDM membranes are known for their exceptional durability and resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering. They are available in large sheets that can be mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted to the roof deck.
– TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO membranes offer excellent heat-reflective properties, energy efficiency, and resistance to chemical exposure. They are lightweight, flexible, and can be heat-welded at the seams to create a seamless, watertight barrier.
– PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC membranes are durable, resistant to chemicals and fire, and offer excellent flexibility and dimensional stability. They are often used in areas with high foot traffic or where rooftop gardens are installed.
– Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen membranes are asphalt-based and reinforced with modifiers like fiberglass or polyester. They provide enhanced flexibility, strength, and durability, making them ideal for low slope roofs.
Benefits of Membrane Roofing Systems
1. Waterproofing
Membrane roofing systems offer superior waterproofing capabilities, minimizing the risk of leaks and water damage to the building’s interior.
2. Durability
These systems are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and foot traffic, ensuring long-term performance and minimal maintenance.
3. Energy Efficiency
Many membrane roofing materials, such as TPO and PVC, are highly reflective, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs during hot St. Louis summers.
