The impact of heat on commercial roofing systems is becoming more critical as temperatures rise. Heat can cause significant damage to roofs, leading to several issues that could compromise your roof's structural stability. We cover how to minimize heat-related roof damage below. When you need commercial maintenance or roof coating in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas, contact Two Brothers Roofing to do the job.
Commercial roofs can shrink and blister in high temperatures, which could result in major damage. Temperature fluctuations cause roofing materials to contract, weakening and separating the seams. Moreover, hot moisture that has been trapped in the roofing system may expand and result in blistering or bubbling of the roof surface.
Overheating on rooftops can lead to mold growth, posing a health risk to the public as well as the building. Warm spaces are ideal for the growth of mold spores, especially if there is moisture or inadequate ventilation. Mold development on the surface of the roof can damage roofing materials, endangering their integrity and resulting in leaks and water damage. Additionally, mold spores discharged into the air could endanger the health of building occupants by causing respiratory issues or allergic reactions.
Elevated temperatures can accelerate the degradation of roofing materials, leading to the premature loss of shingles. As shingles expand and compress under heat, they become more susceptible to wind, hail, and other climatic factors that cause them to crack. Missing shingles reduce the roof's ability to keep out water, increasing the risk of leaks.
A layer of foam roofing coating can prolong the life of commercial roofs and protect them from the impacts of heat. This liquid coating, which is often made of acrylic or polyurethane, is sprayed onto the roof's surface to provide a durable, smooth barrier that shields it from UV radiation and heat absorption. By reflecting sunlight and reducing thermal transfer, foam roof coatings help regulate interior temperatures and reduce energy consumption and cooling expenses.
Among our most popular waterproof flat roofing and low-sloped roofing options we work with are single-ply TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofing, rubber roofing, also known as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) roofing, self-adhering modified bitumen roofing, and cold coating. To learn more about these options and to find out which is right for your property, please give Two Brothers Roofing a call at
