The typical roof is a simple construct that consists of a layer of decking over a skeleton of rafters and joists. This framework is covered with a water-resistant material, such as asphalt to keep the elements outside the building. Roof coverings vary from budget grade asphalt shingles to high-end tiles. A roofing company in Kansas City, MO can provide options such as standing seam steel panels, stamped steel sheets or fiber-cement tiles for a property owner that prefers a reliable, long-term solution. Alternately, the use of quality asphalt materials such as Class IV shingles or a thick, laminated shingle can create a roofing solution that lasts for decades. Laminates place additional layers on the back of the shingle to create a better product.
Steel roofing is often preferred because of its benefits. Steel can be coated with an aluminum/zinc alloy, which is commonly known as galvanizing. Alternately, steel can be treated with a fluoropolymer-based paint to protect the metal. Stamped steel can come in a variety of styles, and this makes it a great solution for most residential roof replacements. For instance, stamped steel can resemble the rustic look of shake or the classic appearance of Mediterranean tiles. In fact, stamped steel can even look like everyday asphalt roofing, and it comes in a variety of colors. Perhaps the best reasons to consider a steel roof is the fact that it can be placed over most asphalt roofs, and the typical installation can last for half a century or longer. Installing steel over an existing asphalt roof reduces the cost of the installation by limiting the debris from the repair.
Commercial roofing installed by a professional roofing contractors in Kansas City, MO also comes in several types. The most common option for the low-sloped or flat roof is BUR (built-up roofing). BUR is multiple layers of a membrane, such as roofing felt and asphalt, topped with a layer of aggregate. Alternatives to BUR include PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin). These are large sheets of polymers that are stretched over the roof with any seams welded together. The result is a durable roof that resists the elements and generally outlasts cheaper solutions.
