At RoofKing Restoration & General Contracting, we take immense pride in the quality of products we use for commercial roofing projects. Our selection is meticulously curated to ensure superior performance, longevity, and sustainability. We source our materials from leading manufacturers, guaranteeing the latest in roofing technology.
Composition Roofing
Composition roofing, a popular choice for its versatility and aesthetic appeal, is renowned for its layered structure that offers enhanced durability. This type of roofing combines fiberglass, asphalt, and mineral granules to provide a balance of weather resistance and visual charm, making it an ideal solution for diverse architectural styles.
PVC Roofing
PVC roofing, made from polyvinyl chloride, stands out for its exceptional strength and resistance to both chemical and water damage, making it ideal for commercial buildings. Its lightweight yet durable design, coupled with its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, ensures long-lasting protection and a lower lifecycle cost for roofing systems.
TPO Roofing
TPO, or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, is a highly sought-after roofing material in the commercial sector due to its remarkable energy efficiency and heat-reflective properties. This single-ply roofing membrane is not only durable and resistant to UV rays, but also environmentally friendly, making it a smart choice for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs.
Modified Bitumen
Modified Bitumen roofing is a modern take on traditional asphalt roofing, incorporating polymer reinforcement for enhanced durability and flexibility. This type of roofing is particularly valued for its resilience in extreme weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for commercial buildings that require robust, long-lasting roofing solutions.
Types of Metal Roofing
R Panel Roofing
R-Panel metal roofing is a distinct and robust solution in the metal roofing sector, known for its characteristic ribbed pattern that adds both strength and a sleek, modern aesthetic. This type of roofing is highly favored for its durability, ease of installation, and its ability to provide excellent protection against the harshest weather conditions, making it a top choice for commercial and industrial applications.
Stone Coated Metal
Stone Coated Metal Roofing combines the strength and durability of metal with the aesthetic appeal of stone, resulting in a versatile and resilient roofing solution. This innovative roofing material is favored for its ability to mimic traditional shingles or tiles while offering superior protection against the elements, making it a popular choice for businesses seeking both functionality and style.
Gutters & Downspouts
Gutters and downspouts are vital elements in a roofing system, playing a crucial role in directing rainwater away from the building to prevent water damage and erosion. These components not only protect the structural integrity of a property but also contribute to its aesthetic appeal, available in various styles and materials to complement the building's exterior design.
Standing Seam Roofing
Standing Seam Metal Roofing is renowned for its seamless and contemporary appearance, offering a sleek and visually appealing finish for commercial buildings. This roofing type not only excels in aesthetics but also provides exceptional weather-tightness and durability, thanks to its unique interlocking seam system that minimizes water penetration risks and withstands severe weather conditions.
Flashing
Flashing is a critical component in roofing, essential for preventing water leakage at the joints and intersections on a roof. Made from materials like aluminum or galvanized steel, flashing is strategically placed around chimneys, vents, and valleys, ensuring a watertight seal and enhancing the overall integrity and longevity of the roofing system.
Coping
Coping in roofing refers to the protective cap or cover at the top of a wall or parapet, which is crucial for preventing water ingress into the building structure. Made from durable materials like metal or stone, coping not only serves a functional purpose in shielding the masonry from weather damage but also adds a finishing touch to the building's architectural aesthetic.
Types of Waterproofing Methods
So, what are the types of waterproofing for a building? Specialists in waterproofing building materials use one of the following tried and tested waterproofing methods:
Sprayed Waterproofing Method
The sprayed waterproofing method involves the application of a seamless, liquid waterproofing membrane, typically using high-grade polyurethane or acrylic coatings. This method is highly effective for irregular surfaces and complex structures, as it provides a continuous, flexible barrier that conforms perfectly to the substrate, offering robust protection against water and moisture ingress.
Lining Waterproofing Method
The lining method of waterproofing involves the application of a protective, impermeable layer, such as PVC or HDPE, to the interior surfaces of a structure. This approach is ideal for areas like basements, tanks, and pools, providing a highly effective shield against water and moisture, while also protecting the structural integrity from potential damage caused by water exposure.
Paintable Waterproofing Method
The Paintable Waterproofing Method involves the application of a waterproof paint or coating, typically made from elastomeric polymers, to create a moisture-resistant barrier. This method is not only effective in preventing water penetration but also allows for aesthetic customization, as these coatings come in various colors and finishes, making them ideal for visible areas requiring both protection and visual appeal.
Injection Waterproofing Method
The injection waterproofing method employs the use of injectable resins, such as epoxy or polyurethane, which are introduced into cracks or voids within a structure. This technique is particularly effective for repairing and waterproofing concrete, as the resin expands and solidifies within the voids, creating a durable barrier against water penetration and structural weakening.
Rigid Waterproofing Method
The Rigid Waterproofing Method uses materials like cementitious compounds that, once applied, form a solid, inflexible layer on the surface. This method is especially suitable for areas where minimal movement or flexing is expected, as it creates a robust, long-lasting barrier against water and moisture, effectively protecting structures like foundations and retaining walls from water ingress.
Plaster Waterproofing Method
The Plaster Waterproofing Method uses a water-resistant plaster, a blend of cement and waterproofing additives, to create a barrier against moisture. Applied to walls and surfaces prone to dampness, this method not only prevents water ingress but also provides a smooth, finished look, making it an ideal solution for both protection and aesthetic enhancement in areas like basements and bathrooms.
Using Advanced Roofing Materials & Coatings
Mule-Hide 100% Silicone Roof Coating can be applied over new spray applied polyurethane foam, EPDM, TPO, aged PVC, aged acrylic coatings, concrete, asphalt built-up roofs, granulated modified bitumen roofs and metal roofs. 100% Silicone Roof Coating is a 100% silicone-based, single part roof coating that creates a barrier that is durable, resistant to weathering, breathable, watertight and weatherproof. Mule-Hide 100% Silicone Roof Coating is manufactured from durable inorganic silicone resins, reinforcing and reflective pigments and silane adhesions promoters
