Head Over Shingles: The Ascent into the World of Commercial Roofing Techniques!
Whether just getting your feet wet or considering going head over shingles in the commercial roofing landscape, understanding the variety of roofing materials and contemporary strategies is critical. Did you know that according to a 2018 projection by Transparency Market Research, the global commercial roofing market was anticipated to expand to an impressive $10.38 Billion USD by 2026? A surge attributed to the rise of unconventional roofing techniques- including solar panel installations, green roofing, and advanced insulation methods. These techniques are getting the rooftop chatter not only for being revolutionary but significantly cutting energy costs.
Stitch in Time: Embracing Energy-Efficient Materials and Methods
Here at Paradise Roofing, we offer two not-so-pennies for your contemplation- embrace the change in materials and techniques in commercial roofing systems. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has indicated that there’s a new shingle king in town – the Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) membrane roofing. Accounting for over 40% of the commercial roofing market share, TPO is riding the wave due to its affordability and energy-efficient properties. Moreover, it can be welded at high temperatures, making it highly resistant to ultraviolet, ozone, and even chemical exposure.
Unmasking the Cool Roof Technique
Not just a roof with shades and a chilled drink, a cool roof can drastically cut a building’s energy use by approximately 0.07 kWh/sq. Ft., courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy’s stellar research and information. In figures even a non-math person can appreciate, there’s a reduction in peak electricity demand by an appreciable average of 10-15 percent. Yes, we’re talking about no small change but considerable annual utility bill savings for businesses.
Peek-a-boo into Unconventional Roofing Techniques
Roof installation methods have evolved over the years, much influenced by technology. From time-tested tradition to new age innovation, commercial roofing technology adds a pinch of genius with advanced roofing solutions. Let’s take a hard hat tour of some of them.
Solar Panel Installations
With increased recognition of green energy, solar panel roofing has skyrocketed in its popularity. Besides powering your energy needs sustainably, it reduces carbon emissions while contributing to substantial savings on bills.
Green Roofing
No, not just a color but a whole concept! Green roofing involves using plants and vegetation as a living layer atop a waterproof layer on the roof membrane. The advantages? Improved aesthetics, energy efficiency, and a positive impact on your carbon footprint.
Advanced Insulation Methods
High-performance insulation strategies can provide effective temperature control, leading to reduced energy costs. Spray foam and rigid board insulations are prime examples in this category.
