COMMERCIAL ROOFING

Thermoplastic Polyolefin, or TPO, is commonly used in commercial roofing settings. The material is durable, lightweight, and energy-efficient, so a reduction in your cooling costs is likely. TPO is a polymer blend made with various rubbers, reinforcing fillers, polypropylene, and polyethylene. These polymers are infused with UV absorbing agents and flame retardants, making TPO fire and wind resistant.

TPO is a cooling roofing material that is Energy-star rated. Many people refer to TPO roofing as green roofing. So, another advantage of using this roofing material is that it is good for the environment. It is important that we all do our part to keep the world a great place. Why not start with the roof that you use on your business? There's tax credits, local credits, and energy credits in store for those who select the TPO flat roof system.

Firestone, Genflex, and Carlisle are among the TOP manufacturers offering quality roofing products. Cardinal Roofing works with the top TPO manufactures, giving you choices and assurance in quality products.

Modified Bitumen roofing is a single-ply rolled roofing material. It features a mineral-based wear surface that protects it from heat and moisture.

Known for its superior strength and durability, EPDM has been used on commercial businesses and homes for more than four decades. Not only is it one of the oldest types of roofing materials available, it's also one of the most trusted. EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is oftentimes used on low-slope buildings throughout Birmingham, but it's popularity extends throughout the country.

EPDM roofing is resilient, durable, and affordable, helping reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. Both a white reflective and black EPDM roofing colors are available. The flexible material is great for cold weather conditions and is resistant to hail damage, UV rays, and thermal shock.

It is up to you to maintain your EPDM roof after Cardinal Roofing installs the piece. Caring for the roof isn't difficult, luckily, especially with the help of our roofing experts. The reward of proper care and maintenance is a roof that provides a lifetime of around 30 years.

Torch down roofing is similar to gravel and tar roofs, consisting of fiberglass and polyester layers with added bitumen added to the traditional tar and gravel layer system. The extra sheets are placed in overlap areas during installation using a flame torch that melts the asphalt together with the seams. Some people refer to torch down roofing as modified bitumen, though there are differences in the two. Torch down roofing is strong and resistant to rain and snow. The life expectancy of 15-years is great considering the low initial purchase costs. The attractiveness of this roof material is a plus. The tar roof doesn't offer the same type of beauty.
