Factors to Consider When Purchasing a Roofing System

Precision-fabricated flashings can help speed up a roof installation. You must consider many factors when your roof needs to be replaced or when you are constructing a building that requires a new roof — it is crucial to review all of these aspects in order to make the wisest roofing choice and get the best long-term value for your investment.

Installation Disruptions Cost You Money

When your business needs a new roof, you cannot afford to close your doors for a roof installation. How long will this installation take to complete? Will you need to close or control traffic at your business? Will customers be disturbed or inconvenienced? Will you lose revenue?

Some roofing systems are disruptive when installed, using smelly materials that are irritating and messy. Some systems take considerably longer to install than others because they are affected by weather and temperature — installing some systems in 20°F weather will take much longer than others due to welding or adhesive issues. Others can be installed easily without any disruption to normal building operations.

Prefabricated Systems Save Time

A precision-fabricated membrane is much easier to install and does not require labor-intensive welding on the job site. These systems can usually be installed over existing substrates, reducing the need for a tear-off, which can be time consuming, disruptive, and messy. Many manufacturers also prefabricate accessories such as curbs, stacks, scuppers, and parapets, which helps reduce installation time and ensure a perfect fit.

Single-ply roofing systems that are prefabricated and mechanically attached provide a quiet and safe installation — no loud machinery or noxious fumes to disrupt building activities. In most cases, building occupants don't even realize a roof is being installed.
