The investment you make in your company's roof is an investment that helps protect your entire building. A metal roof is the best way to secure the investment you’ve made in your property because it outperforms almost any other roofing material.
Modified Bitumen roofing is
an asphalt-based roofing material designed for buildings with low-slope
or “flat” roof structures. Modified Bitrumen roofs have been used
successfully in the United States and Canada for well over 30 years.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is one of the most popular
materials for both new and reroof low-slope roofing applications. EPDM is a heavy rubber roofing membrane that is
mechanically fastened to the roof's decking with treated roofing screws
and galvanized roofing plates.
Modified Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) membranes have share many characteristics with
TPO systems in that they are easy to install, durable and energy
efficient. Modified PVC roofing can be installed a variety of ways, including using
mechanical fasteners and plates, fully adhered in bonding adhesive or
ballasted.
Thermoplastic
polyolefin (TPO) membranes is one of the most popular commercial
roofing materials used today. Unlike
some other popular thermoplastic roofing membranes, the TPO
polymer does not contain chlorine and no chlorine-containing
ingredients are added during production. This lack of chlorine has
helped TPO membranes garner a great reputation for being an
environmentally friendly, "green" product. TPO membrane, reinforced and non-reinforced, is 100
percent recyclable during the production process.
When an existing roof requires replacement, expense and inconvienence
are often a concern. Often times, a better alternative is a new
retro-fit framing system installed on the old roof. Retrofit roofing
can usually be installed right over the existing roofing without
tear-off.
It is not always necessary to replace a leaky or damaged roof. Often
times, one might simply choose to restore it and save up to half the
cost of a new roof. Almost half of many roof types and virtually 100
percent of metal roofs can be saved using advanced restoration
technology, extending the roof's life up to 20 years or more.
Whether your design solution calls for a pre-manufactured
Modified Bitumen membrane system, a standard built-up system, or a
hybrid Built-Up Roofing/Modified Bitumen system, Firestone is uniquely
positioned to meet your asphalt roofing system requirements.
