Rubber roofing materials are typically priced higher than traditional composite shingles, but they provide more benefits. Rubber roofs have a longer lifespan and offer better protection from the elements; as well as being environmentally friendly – unlike asphalt-based products that can release toxic chemicals into your living space over time.
Rubber roofs last up to 20 years and offer many benefits that you may not have thought of. For instance, the rubber will never rot or decay like a wooden shingle would in humid climates. It’s also resistant to mold growth.
Rubberized roofing does not crack or curl when exposed to high temperatures so your rooftop will hold again bad weather. It is also waterproof, fire resistant, and offers superior performance as well as longevity being one of our preferred materials to work with.
You should seriously consider a rubber roof because they are long-lasting and offer many benefits that you might otherwise overlook if this was just another item on the list
Rubberized roofing comes in 2 forms: rolls used for flat roofs and rubber shingles that are used for residential properties. The rubber shingles come in many colors and designs and can mimic any appearance of shingles.
If you’re looking to install or replace a rubber roof, check out the roofing options we install rubber shingles, rolled rubber roofing, EPDM roofing, TPO roofing, PVC roofing
EPDM is one of those rubber roofs that stands out from all other options because it’s been around for such a long time and has proven to be resilient through many tests.
EPDM offers numerous benefits including lower cost, which makes this material so appealing when you consider how much money could potentially go into replacing your current roof with something new in just 10 years or less.
EPDM is a natural black rubber that absorbs the sun’s rays. Because it can’t reflect heat as well as lighter colored fabrics, this material provides lesser protection from the heat. As a result, EPDM roofs are often ordered in greyish or whites at an extra cost to compensate for the lack of color reflection and provide more light insulation against UV radiation, which leads to further solar energy loss over time.
TPO is a versatile type of roofing material that can withstand many types of damage. It’s environmentally friendly, containing fewer chemicals than other materials, and being UV resistant means it will help to save on cooling costs in the summertime. TPO has also been shown not only to be recyclable but 100% reusable as well!
TPO roofing is a type of hot air welding that protects against leaks and other damages while being aesthetically pleasing. TPO roofs are often white, but they can be made in whatever color you like, such as grey or black, to match your home’s aesthetic.
TPO is a recently introduced rubber roofing material. As the invention of TPO was in the 1990s, it has not been used as long as other materials that are now considered traditional products like asphalt and tar roofs. One downside to this type of product however can be inconsistent formulas from different manufacturers which still lead to confusion about what formula will work best for you or your customer’s needs
PVC roofing is far more malleable over TPO, making it far less prone to building settlement. It has been in use for more than 50 years as a tried-and-true product, and contractors are well-versed in its installation. In addition, PVC roofs are easier for people looking for PVC roofing specialists on that type of work since there’s an abundance who specialize exclusively in PVC installation projects.
PVC is an excellent material for use in your home because it can help you save money on your energy bills, during those hot summer months. PVC and TPO are both energy efficient, but since they have different qualities you should consider which one will work best for your needs before making a decision.
Because PVC membrane roof includes chlorine, it is far less eco friendly than TPO and EPDM rubber roofing. Chemicals in PVC cause the material to break down more quickly than TPE or EPDM, which are not made with chemicals like chloride that release hydrochloric acid when burned.
Rubber roofing installation is a quick and easy process that saves you money, energy, time, maintenance costs.
Rubberized roofing is much easier to install than asphalt or slate roofs, and it can be done with a single seamless roll. It rarely leaks because there are no seams for water to flow through–and when it does leak, the rubber material has an amazing ability to seal itself up! Shingles take more time; they need nails like traditional shingles do and cost more too. Rubber roofs need to be installed after the current roofing is stripped down to the plywood base.
The roof needs to be cleaned from debris and dirt before applying the adhesive and the roll. Rubber roofing can also be applied on old shingle roofing but a layer of foam insulation needs to be applied before applying the new rubber roof. While installing a new rubberized roof over an existing one can save you time and money, it can also void your warranty because the manufacturer will not recognize it.
Rubberized roofing can be applied to flat and low slope roofs where shingle roofs are not the best option, on top of shingle roofs as a way to extend the life of the existing roof structure or on top of metal roofs to cover the rust, leak, or damage of the metal roof.
What if your rubber roof starts to get a little old and battered? If you start seeing ponding water, shrinking membranes or uplifting ones, improper drainage systems that could be trapping moisture – then it’s time for some professional help. A few other reasons are roof damaged by UV rays or dirt accumulation, bubbles, and cracks. These all need a professional roofing contractors attention.
Rubber roofs are a popular choice for homeowners because they offer an attractive looking roof, but the upkeep is important to keep it in top condition.
Regular inspection.
If possible, check the slope rubberized roof from the ground on a regular basis. Climbing up onto a ladder and inspecting it for any debris or damage that may be there is critical; this will undoubtedly help prevent future issues! Check your roof for any signs of lifting and peeling. Keep an eye out for places surrounding flashings, vents, or other fixtures that may have deteriorated with time! If you feel unsafe climbing up on your sloped rubber roof, never hesitate to contact a professional for assistance or guidance in making sure that it’s safe and sound!
Gentle cleaning.
It’s vital to clean the flat rooftop of your building and remove all the leaves that have accumulated. If leaves and other debris piles on your flat rubber roof, moss will eventually grow. Use an old broom handle with a soft bristled brush, gently brushing off any debris you can find on top of your roof from as high up as possible down towards the ground. If anything is still stubborn, use some soap and water mixed together using something like a wet mop or other scrubbing material for those tougher spots around edges or corners!
Gutter care.
It’s important for your roofing maintenance to make sure your gutters are kept clean and working. Make sure the gutter is clear of debris and that there are no leaks or damage. If the gutter requires repairs, contact Advanced Roofing and Remodeling.
Professional maintenance.
If you notice any level of damage to the rubber roofing or if it has been impacted by large tree limbs, call a professional for a roof inspection immediately.
