Learn About Commercial Roofing

What is Commercial Roofing?
2
Introduction

• Commercial roofing is any type of roofing fitted
  to a commercial building. Many people assume that
  commercial roofing is the same as residential
  roofing because theyre both just buildings. But
  in reality, commercial buildings are usually much
  larger and have a number of different
  considerations and requirements for roofs.
• In these slides, well explore the difference
  between commercial roofing and residential
  roofing, and factors to consider when choosing a
  commercial roofing material.

Residential Roofing V/S Commercial Roofing

• Installing roofing for residence is much easier
  than installing roofing for a commercial
  building. Commercial roofs tend to be larger and
  require more material, planning time.
• Residential and commercial roofing differ in
  gradient, usually houses have steeper roofs than
  offices, shops, and other commercial buildings.
  That is why roofs of houses are more visible due
  to being shorter, many homeowners prefer the
  slanted look. A steep roof makes it easier for
  rainwater to flow away without pooling on the
  surface and causing long term damage.

• The materials used for commercial roofs are
  different as compared to residential. Commercial
  roofs tend to use metal, concrete, whereas
  residential roofs use concrete or clay tiles or
  corrugated iron. There are many more materials
  used for commercial roofing, which makes it
  trickier and requires the help of professional
  roof repair in Geelong.

How to choose Commercial roofing factors -

• Every commercial building is unique, and every
  building owner has their own budget. When
  deciding roof material for your commercial
  building, you will need to cost, time,
  durability, temperature resistance, and aesthetic
  concerns. Lets explore one by one each of these.

6
Cost -

• Cost is usually the biggest concern for all
  building owners. Most people want the roof to be
  installed as cheaply as possible, in which metal
  sheets or asphalt might be the best although this
  depends on other factors.

7
Time -

• Building projects are often delayed, which can
  result in the roof needing to be installed as
  soon as possible to catch up. Again, asphalt or
  metal sheets are good materials in this case
  because they can be installed quickly.

8
Strength -

• A roof is separated into two parts, the cladding,
  and the internal support structure that holds up
  the roof. The amount of weight that the roof can
  carry without collapsing is its load-bearing
  capacity, which depends on the requirements of
  the building. For example, some building owners
  want to install heavy equipment, in that case,
  the load-bearing capacity needs to be higher.

9
Durability -

• Durability is an important factor to consider
  when choosing a new roof. roof s are
  cost-effective, have great strength, and
  correctly installed can last over 40 years. On
  the other hand, the plastic polymer is one of the
  most expensive materials to use for a roof and
  will last for 50 years before needing to be
  replaced.

10
Temperature Resistance -

• If a commercial or industrial building is subject
  to extremely high or low temperatures and this
  happens generally, the roofs material is an
  important factor to consider here. Metal cladding
  with insulation is the best material for high
  temperatures and it would be a good choice for a
  commercial building.

11
Aesthetics -

• Commercial buildings are taller than residential
  buildings, which makes their roof more difficult
  to see. Some commercial building owners are proud
  of their buildings appearance, and want a good
  looking roof that complements everything else.

12
Final Words -

• If the roof is built properly and is maintained
  well, then the longevity of roofing will last
  longer, whether it is commercial or residential.
  There are also some other advantages of
  commercial roofing, like easier occupancy, lower
  load of cooling on the HVAC systems. If you have
