Commercial Roofing Systems
Choosing the right commercial roofing system is one of the most important decisions for protecting your building and your budget. Each system has strengths in durability, climate performance, and cost. At Nations Roof, we install, maintain, and repair every major roof type, giving you the knowledge to compare options and make confident, long-term choices.
TPO Roofing
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is one of the most popular commercial flat roofing systems. It’s ideal for warm climates, providing excellent energy efficiency and UV resistance while remaining cost-effective.
PVC Roofing
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) roofing offers superior chemical resistance, making it a top choice for restaurants, food processing plants, and industrial facilities. It’s durable, fire-resistant, and performs well in harsh environments.
EPDM Roofing
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a single-ply system known for flexibility and proven durability in cold or open climates. It resists hail, ozone, and UV damage, extending roof life with minimal maintenance.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen systems are multi-layered and reinforced, delivering flexibility and waterproofing in high-traffic areas. They’re a reliable option for commercial properties that need durable, walkable roofs.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing (BUR) systems have been trusted for decades. Their multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics create long-lasting durability and redundancy for commercial and industrial buildings.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs provide one of the longest life spans of any system. They’re ideal for visible roofs where aesthetics matter and are highly resistant to extreme weather when properly maintained.
Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are common for smaller commercial buildings, outbuildings, and steep-slope applications. They’re versatile, widely available, and can deliver excellent longevity at an affordable cost.
