Understanding the Importance of Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofing differs significantly from residential roofing, primarily due to the size, structure, and materials involved. Commercial roofs are often larger, flat or low-sloped, and require specialized materials and installation techniques to ensure durability and performance. A reliable commercial roof not only protects the building from the elements but also enhances its energy efficiency, helping to reduce operational costs.
Types of Commercial Roofing Systems
At Swagg Roofing, we offer a wide range of commercial roofing systems to suit the specific needs of your business. Understanding the different types of commercial roofs available can help you make an informed decision that best meets your property’s requirements.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing, commonly known as BUR, is one of the oldest and most reliable commercial roofing systems. It is composed of multiple layers of bitumen (asphalt) and reinforcing fabrics that are alternated and then topped with a layer of gravel or stone. The benefits of BUR include:
- Durability: The multiple layers in BUR provide excellent protection against the elements, making it one of the most durable roofing options.
- UV Resistance: The top layer of gravel or stone protects the underlying layers from UV radiation, extending the roof’s lifespan.
- Waterproofing: BUR is highly resistant to water, preventing leaks and water damage to the building’s interior.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen roofing is an evolution of the traditional BUR system, incorporating polymer-modified bitumen membranes that provide enhanced flexibility and performance. This roofing system is ideal for buildings with flat or low-slope roofs. Key features include:
- Flexibility: The modified bitumen membranes can expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracking and other damage.
- Easy Installation: Modified bitumen can be installed using various methods, including hot-mopping, torch-applied, or cold-applied adhesives, allowing for flexibility in installation.
- Energy Efficiency: Modified bitumen roofing can be coated with reflective materials to enhance energy efficiency by reducing heat absorption.
Thermoplastic Roofing (TPO & PVC)
Thermoplastic roofing systems, including TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), are popular choices for commercial properties due to their durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance. These single-ply roofing membranes are known for their:
- Energy Efficiency: TPO and PVC roofing systems are highly reflective, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs for your building.
- Durability: Thermoplastic membranes are resistant to chemicals, punctures, and UV radiation, making them suitable for a variety of commercial applications.
- Seam Strength: The seams in TPO and PVC roofing are heat-welded, creating a strong, waterproof bond that reduces the risk of leaks.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing is a popular single-ply roofing system made from synthetic rubber. It is widely used for commercial buildings due to its affordability, durability, and ease of installation. Benefits of EPDM roofing include:
- Weather Resistance: EPDM is highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, including hail, high winds, and UV radiation.
- Longevity: With proper maintenance, EPDM roofs can last 20 to 30 years or more, making them a cost-effective choice for many businesses.
- Flexibility: EPDM remains flexible even in cold temperatures, reducing the risk of cracking and splitting.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a durable and versatile option for commercial properties, offering excellent protection and a modern aesthetic. Metal roofs can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and copper. Key advantages of metal roofing include:
- Durability: Metal roofs are resistant to fire, wind, and impact, providing long-lasting protection for your building.
- Energy Efficiency: Many metal roofing systems are coated with reflective materials that reduce heat absorption, contributing to energy savings.
- Low Maintenance: Metal roofs require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing systems, making them a cost-effective option over time.
Green Roofing
Green roofing systems, also known as vegetative or living roofs, are an innovative option for commercial buildings that prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency. These roofs are covered with vegetation, providing numerous environmental benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Green roofs help to insulate the building, reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Stormwater Management: Vegetative roofs absorb rainwater, reducing runoff and easing the burden on stormwater systems.
- Environmental Impact: Green roofs contribute to reducing the urban heat island effect and improve air quality by filtering pollutants.

Commercial Roofing Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to extend the life of your commercial roof and prevent costly repairs down the line. Swagg Roofing offers comprehensive maintenance services, including:
