When business owners need new commercial roofing systems, they should look for commercial roofing installations and can use the online commercial roof replacement cost calculator on the contractor's website. Just like with residential roofing, you should also choose the right material for your commercial roofing systems.
TPO vs. EPDM commercial roofing systems
Many commercial customers don’t know what the difference between EPDM and TPO single-ply membranes is. While both TPO and EPDM membranes are used for commercial roofing installations, there is a slight difference that could affect your facility's performance.
TPO single-ply
Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a single-ply membrane and one of the fastest-growing commercial roofing systems on the US market. This roofing system is made up of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim. They usually last for 15 to 20 years, after that you will need new commercial roofing installations. Moreover, you will need to look for new commercial roofing systems if you notice any signs of roof damage such as water entering your building. The price for this material in our commercial roof replacement cost calculator is $7.19.
EPDM single-ply roofing
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is another single-ply membrane that is made of a flexible synthetic rubber compound. It is another popular material for commercial roofing systems and a time-tested option since its first appearance in the 1960s. EPDM-covered commercial roofing installations are designed to last 20 to 25 years, after which it has to be restored or replaced. Just like with TPO, if you have a roof leak or roof damage you will most likely need to contact commercial roof installations or at least get repairs. The price for this material in our commercial roof replacement cost calculator is $7.99.
Metal roofing
Just like with metal roofing for residential buildings, metal commercial roofing systems are very durable but more expensive too. While TPO roofing is one of the most popular, metal roofing is excellent for its long-lasting and modern architectural look and energy efficiency: during winter months it helps you're building not to waste heat fast, while in summer it prevents the building from overheating under the sunlight and hot temperatures. The price for this material in our commercial roof replacement cost calculator is $7.95.
