Commercial & Industrial Roofing
We offer two different types of commercial or industrial flat roofing, SBS and TPO, which can also be applied to flat roofed homes.
SBS Modified Bitumen Membrane Roofing
Commonly known as “tar and gravel,” this type of roofing is often used on roofs that are flat or only very slightly pitched. SBS is the abbreviation for Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene and this is used as a “cold” adhesive (meaning that you can avoid that hot tar smell). The roofing is applied in layers with the gravel on top, making it resistant to damage. It is often used on industrial building that have mechanical equipment on the roof, as it is not damaged by walking (although we can also install rubber pathways to avoid disturbing the gravel if access to equipment is frequent).
Our services include removal of old roofing material (if needed), inspection and repair of the decking, installation of new roofing material, flashing and trim.
If you know the approximate size of your roof, you can call us for a quick estimate on an SBS roof – 604-309-0574.
TPO Membrane Roofing
TPO, the acronym for thermoplastic polyolefin, is another popular choice for large, flat roofs. Installed in large sheets of rubber-like material, the seams are then bonded together to create a continuous, long-lasting, waterproof barrier. Available in light and dark colours, it can add to energy efficiency by reflecting or absorbing sunlight. Since it is basically only one layer, puncture can cause leaking; however, the type of impact that would puncture a TPO roof (e.g. large falling trees), would likely damage any roof, and can be repaired if need be.
Our services include removal of old roofing material (if needed), inspection and repair of the decking, installation of new roofing material, flashing and trim.
