Wichita Commercial Roofing

Single-Ply TPO Roofs

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) PVC roofs are the fastest growing segment of the Wichita and national commercial roofing industry. TPO single-ply roofs are light in color (typically white) to reflect the sun’s energy and keep the roof and building temperatures cooler, reducing energy use. TPO is typically installed mechanically. welded, or fully adhered. The single-ply material is durable, stable, and an economical approach to a commercial flat roof.

EPDM Roofs

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) has been proven an effective on commercial roof system for many decades. A tough rubberized, single-ply sheet is attached directly to the roof with adhesive. Most EPDM roofs are black, but some systems are now available in white to help reflect sunlight. A great choice for commercial roofs in Wichita of any size.

Built-Up (Hot Tar) Roofs

A built-up roofing system consisting of several layers of felt underlayment that is attached to the roof using a “hot mop” black tar method. The tar (bitumen) provides waterproofing, and the layers are generally covered with a layer of gravel or minerals to provide additional protection. If you are looking for a quality low cost commercial roofing option in Wichita then a built-up system is for you.

Modified Bitumen Roofs

Similar to built-up roofing, but with the added strength and durability of plastic or rubber based polymers embedded in the multiple roofing layers. These polymers provide superior tensile strength and additional defense against punctures and tears. A good option for roofs that experience heavy traffic.

Metal Roofs

Standing seam metal roofs are among the most durable commercial roofing systems, often providing a life cycle of more than 50 years. Today’s metal roofs are more attractive, available in a variety of colors, and are coated with advanced polymers that resist fading, chipping and rust. Metal roofs are extremely fire resistant, storm resistant, pest resistant and are rated for winds of up to 120 mph.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Although more commonly used in residential roofing, asphalt shingles can be an affordable option for commercial roofs when the building’s architectural style allows. For example, steeply pitched roofs on office buildings, condominiums, and apartment complexes.

Asphalt shingles offer a wide variety of colors and styles, are easily maintained, and can last 20 to 50 years depending on the grade of shingle selected.
