The Metal Retrofit Option Explained
For aging metal roofs on commercial properties, a metal retrofit offers a durable, cost-effective solution that avoids the high expense and disruption of a complete roof replacement.
Key Benefits of a Metal Retrofit
Cost-Effective: Retrofitting is generally more affordable than a full roof replacement, saving on both materials and labor.
Energy Efficiency: Reflective membranes help reduce heat absorption, which can lower cooling costs.
Extended Roof Life: Covering the old roof with a membrane adds years to its lifespan, delaying the need for replacement.
Minimal Disruption: Without removing the old roof, business operations face minimal interference.
Noise Reduction: The membrane and insulation help absorb sound, creating a quieter indoor environment.
Retrofit Process
Flute Filler Installation: Insulated material is placed between the metal roof’s ribs to create a flat surface and improve thermal resistance.
Membrane Adherence: The membrane is adhered fully, forming a seamless, protective barrier.
Seam Sealing: Heat-welded seams create a watertight seal, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Inspection: A final inspection confirms the roof’s durability and energy efficiency.
A metal retrofit offers commercial property owners a durable, energy-saving solution with less noise and fewer disruptions, making it a smart alternative to a full roof replacement. If you would like more information, or a free estimate, please reach out to us.
