San Francisco Bay Area Commercial Flat Roof Overlay

Commercial Flat Roof Overlay

Sometimes it’s possible to add an overlay roof system over your existing commercial roof. This is known as a flat roof overlay. Typically, you would add a flat roof overlay to enhance your property’s insulation and further weatherproof your roof’s outer layer. Not every roof can have an overlay placed on it, so you’d need to schedule an inspection with one of our commercial roofers first to see if this is a possibility.

PVC (single-ply membrane) and EPDM (rubber roofs) are two materials that can be used as overlay systems.

Benefits Of A Commercial Roof Overlay System

Affordability

A commercial roof replacement is a very costly project. One way to avoid this from happening in the short term is by adding a roof overlay system. The materials themselves and installation are relatively inexpensive, plus they help prevent a commercial roof replacement from needing to occur.

Energy Savings

A roof overlay system adds an extra layer of protection. Proper insulation means much less energy is used to power your building’s HVAC system. This, in turn, reduces your overall energy bill over time.

Leak Resistant

Adding a commercial roof overlay system will help seal your roof, thus lowering your chances for roof leaks to occur.
