The roofing industry has known for quite some time the drawbacks of using traditional asphalt shingles on flat or low-pitch roofs. Shingles require a little help from gravity to create a seal against leaks, and with flatter roofs, gravity’s influence simply isn’t significant enough to do the job.
A benefit of rubber roofing Warwick is single-ply synthetic membrane rubber roofing is ideal for use over low-sloping or flat roofs because it is durable, pliable, and waterproof. Whether they are made from synthetic rubber polymers or are made from plastic polymers, rubber roofs are designed to go in places where asphalt shingles don’t perform well.
Typically, installing rubber roofing Leamington is done on the top of the existing shingles. A layer of foam can be applied over the top of the existing roof, which serves as insulation, and then the entire surface is covered with this waterproof membrane. This saves time and high labor costs by reducing the amount of preparation needed to install our new roof. It also reflects heat and sun away from the roof, saving even more cooling costs.
For replacing a leaking metal roof with a rubber one, an alternate solution might be to cover it with a layer of insulating foam and re-roof it with another new metal roof. Metal roofing varies greatly in price, however, and depending on our situation, might be even more expensive than a rubber roof. Sometimes the most economical way to reseal a metal roof is to apply a special soybean-based coating with fiberglass webbing, as needed.
It is also possible to roof low-pitch homes with conventional composition roofing. Water runs off homes with flatter roofs more slowly than from steeper pitched roofs which can allow wind to blow water back underneath the shingles. Thus both the tar paper and the roofing materials must be applied differently to prevent leaks.
