Commercial Roof Foot Traffic

Commercial Roofs

The roof on your commercial building plays a vital role in the protection of your business. To keep your assets safe, it is important to know some of the common problems that can arise with your roofing system. In this article you will learn about one of the common causes of damage in commercial roofs.

Foot Traffic

Commercial roofs differ from residential roofs in many ways. One such difference is in the amount of foot traffic. Commercial roofing systems endure foot traffic from HVAC techs, roofing techs, grounds keepers, phone and internet providers, as well as many other service providers. Over time this foot traffic wears down the durability of your commercial roofing system, causing it to fail in common traffic areas.

Other Common Types of Damage

In addition to damage from foot traffic, the contactors/service providers that gain access to your roof have many types of tools that they bring with them. Sharp tools and the work boots that the contractors wear can easily cause damage to any commercial roofing system.

Solutions

Although not all damage can be avoided, here are some solutions to help with the foot traffic that your commercial roofing system endures.
