  1. 4 MAIN THREATS TO THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR COMMERCIAL ROOF

  2. Your commercial building is only ever as well protected as the roof covering it, and so it’s essential that you keep it well maintained and address any repair issues as soon as they arise. How you control the external factors that affect your commercial roof, can determine how long it lasts, and below are 4 of the most common factors to affect a commercial roof’s longevity:

  3. 1.The weather All types of weather conditions can have a different impact on a roof, and both extreme cold and relentless sunshine can make a commercial roof’s membrane brittle, causing it to both shrink and crack. Snow and rain can then infiltrate any cracks in the roof, leading to mold and rot. High winds often have the ability to rip tiles or entire sections of a roof, off of the building.

  4. It’s often more than just the roof that can be affected by weather conditions too, as many commercial buildings store important equipment on their roofs, such as HVAC systems and cables, to name but a few. Should water begin to pool on the roof, or snow start to build up, cables and piping can quickly become damaged, but investing in cable tray supports and roof pipe support systems, can help with this issue.

  5. 2.People If a roof isn’t designed or constructed professionally from the outset, its longevity could already be affected. To prevent this, you should try to be involved in the design process and personally approve and inspect the materials that will be used for the roof. That said, if you work with an experienced roofing contractor, you shouldn’t have to worry about any of these aspects.

  6. 3.Rooftop equipment If you store HVAC, piping, solar panels, generators, or any other heavy equipment on your commercial roof, you may find that over time, these will place stress on the roof and cause damage later on. As the weight presses down on the roof, it’s quite possible that membranes can become torn, insulation crushed, and depressions may be created where water can pool and accumulate. Over time, this can cause a commercial roof to leak, rot and even collapse entirely. To prevent this from happening, you can use platforms to store equipment on, and equipment support structures to enable your roof to last longer.

  7. 4.Neglect Ignoring any issues with your commercial roof, or even failing to have it professionally inspected and maintained on a regular basis, can mean that any existing problems can quickly get worse. Some business owners opt to create a dedicated maintenance plan to ensure that their commercial roof remains in tip top condition, and can carry on doing its job, for longer. With regular inspections and maintenance from a professional roofing company, and the swift repair of any problems or damage, you can help your commercial roof live a long, healthy life!
