Many business owners assume roofing contractors only serve homes, but that’s not always the case! At Taylor’s Roofing, we also provide commercial roofing services. Commercial roofs require different materials than residential roofs, though. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top roofing materials for Central Florida businesses.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO roofing dominates Florida’s commercial market for good reason. This single-ply membrane reflects heat, reducing cooling costs during the brutal summer months. TPO lasts 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and resists UV damage, punctures, and chemical exposure while maintaining flexibility in extreme temperatures.
PVC Roofing
A PVC single-ply roof can be an excellent choice for Florida’s hot, humid, and stormy climate for multiple reasons. PVC membranes are usually white or light-colored with high solar reflectance, making them perfect for keeping buildings cooler and cutting energy costs. In addition, it holds up well in Florida’s harsh UV rays. PVC roofs also can withstand high winds, and they boast superior water resistance, meaning they’re an ideal choice for hurricane-prone states like Florida.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal commercial roofing comes in various styles, from standing seam panels to corrugated sheets. Steel and aluminum provide excellent wind resistance against hurricanes and severe storms. Metal roofs also reflect solar radiation, reducing energy consumption.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen systems feature multiple layers to provide superior protection against water infiltration. We often recommend modified bitumen for buildings requiring frequent rooftop access since it handles foot traffic well. This material also accommodates building movement without compromising integrity.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF)
SPF roofing creates seamless surfaces perfect for irregular roof shapes. The foam insulates while waterproofing, significantly improving energy efficiency. SPF adapts to any roof configuration and provides excellent adhesion to existing substrates. Regular recoating maintains the protective surface.
Choosing the Right Material
Your building’s age, design, and your budget all influence material selection. At Taylor’s Roofing, we’re here to help you select the most suitable materials based on roof slope, structural capacity, and local building codes. We’ll also consider your energy efficiency and maintenance preferences when recommending commercial roofing materials.
