Single ply roofing in Phoenix is used often in flat roof commercial installations. It involves a sheet of rubberized material that is rolled over a layer of roof insulation. It is then glued or fastened to the roof.
This type of roofing is extremely durable and excellent for flat commercial roofs. It comes in different sizes for larger or smaller installations. It’s lightweight, making it easier to install and therefore might be less expensive in labor costs. Single ply roofing in Phoenix can also lower cooling costs because it reflects light instead of absorbing it. It’s also relatively affordable per square foot, making single ply roofing a very economical option.
Single ply roofing has a thinner surface therefore making it easily susceptible to punctures. Along with punctures, single ply roofing is also more vulnerable to leaks, water damage, and even damage due to UV rays. UV rays cause damage to the adhesive that holds the single ply roofing together, which is ultimately what makes this roofing more susceptible to leaks and other forms of damage.
