There are many types of low slope roofing
products on the market, they all range in price
and effectiveness. Tar has been around for a long
time dating all the way back to the Egyptians,
tried and true it has had its day in the sun.
There are many roofing materials that are made
from tar and bitumen materials. Modified bitumen
is a hot applied or self-adhered rolled roofing
that is granulated to protect it from the sun.

Tar and gravel built up roofs are a series of
layers of hot tar and tar paper stacked up and
then covered with gravel to protect it from the
sun. Life expectancy 10-15 years. There are a few
others not worth mentioning here. TPO
Thermoplastic polyolefin Is a single ply white
membrane made in layers with scrim as a binder to
hold it together. Just like most of the flat roof
products it has a shelf life of about 7-15 years.
It loses thickness to the sun every year and has
many seams that make it susceptible to failing.
TPO is often installed over an existing roof.
Installing tpo over an existing roof creates
condensation between the two layers of roofing
and traps moisture where you dont want it.

It requires about 1000 screws to install it and
often times you are left with hundreds of
exposed fasteners in the parapet walls that are
not legal or allowed by building code And cause
leaking through the parapets.
Edpm Is a single ply product that is install
exactly like TPO. The only difference is that
EPDM is like a giant bike tube a stretchy black
membrane Canales are where the
water exits the roof. Most flat roofs leak at the
canales where the metal meets the roofing
material. As roofs expand and contract from the
extreme heat and cold they experience. They start
to give way the seams and protrusions. Annual
maintenance in the right areas can prolong the
life of a roof immensely.

Foam and coatings have been around for a long
time they are install in place and create a
monolithic body that has no seams. It can be
applied to create slope and as long as the foam
is protected from the Ultra-violent light It will
last forever. Foam roofs are the least prone to
leaks and with proper maintenance will outlast
almost every other low slope roofing material.
Silicone roof coatings dont lose thickness to
the sun and are a permanent solution with proper
maintenance and thickness
