What are the benefits of installing cedar shakes on a commercial building?
Cedar shakes provide a unique aesthetic, excellent insulation, and natural durability. They age gracefully, adding character to the building over time, and are highly resistant to wind and harsh weather when installed correctly.
Why is EPDM a popular choice for commercial roofing?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) is known for its durability and resistance to extreme weather conditions. It’s an ideal choice for commercial roofs due to its flexibility, ease of installation, and ability to withstand various climates, making it both cost-effective and reliable.
What is the purpose of S-5 snow rails?
Snow rails are installed to prevent snow from sliding off sloped roofs, protecting the area below from potential damage. For commercial buildings in regions that experience snowfall, snow rails are an essential safety feature.
How does metal roof coating extend the life of a roof?
An aluminum-based coating provides a protective layer that reflects UV rays, reducing thermal expansion and contraction. This helps prevent leaks, corrosion, and premature wear, ultimately extending the roof’s lifespan and improving energy efficiency.
I did get a chance to inspect the roof of this church last week. There was no damage to the roof, it is actually in quite good condition since it was installed in the late 80’s or early 90’s. The leaks they are experiencing are at the flashing transitions to the stone masonry and one at a brick masonry chimney.
But I did want to tell you that I was very impressed with Austin, the young fellow that ran the lift for me. I am not sure I have ever had such a smooth and accurately-placed ride. It wasn’t the highest roof I ever had to look at, and maybe the equipment rental was newer, but still, it was refreshing to see the competence of that young fellow.
