Project Spotlight: Smooth Built-Up to TPO Roof Transformation

Project #1052

At Core Commercial Roofing, we pride ourselves on delivering top-quality roofing solutions tailored to meet our clients' needs. Our latest project involved a complete transformation of a commercial roof in need of significant repair.

Existing Roof: Smooth Built-Up Roofing

The building's original roofing system was a smooth built-up roof (BUR) installed over a recovery board on a metal deck. While built-up roofs are known for their durability and robustness, this particular roof had reached the end of its lifespan due to severe hail damage.

Reason for Replacement

The catalyst for this roofing project was extensive hail damage, leading to an insurance claim for a complete roof replacement. Core Commercial Roofing collaborated closely with the insurance company to determine the proper scope and price, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for the client.

New Roof Installation: TPO System

Our team selected a Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing system for the new installation. This choice was driven by TPO's excellent durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. To enhance the building's thermal performance and comply with international and state energy codes, we installed two layers of Polyiso insulation beneath the TPO membrane.

Specialty Items and Features

Tapered Insulation Crickets: To address drainage issues, we incorporated tapered insulation crickets around the drains. This feature promotes positive drainage, preventing water pooling and reducing the risk of future damage.

Enhanced Insulation: To ensure optimal protection and energy efficiency, we added a recovery board over the insulation layers. This extra layer provides additional protection and helps prolong the lifespan of the roof.

By upgrading to a TPO roofing system with enhanced insulation and specialty features, we've significantly improved the building's energy efficiency and durability. The new roof not only meets stringent energy codes but also offers superior protection against the elements.

At Core Commercial Roofing, we are committed to delivering exceptional roofing solutions that stand the test of time. This project is a testament to our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. If you're considering a roof replacement or need expert advice on your commercial roofing needs, contact us today!
