Many specifiers choose liquid applied membranes for commercial flat roofing because of the advantageous properties that this type of roofing offers. Amongst these the primary factors are reduced labor costs and the elimination of contractor risk. The reason for this is due to the ease of application and the technical support provided by the products supplier, the potential for poor installation is drastically reduced.
Unlike systems which require greater skill such as single ply and asphalt, the success of the waterproofing is not highly dependent upon finding quality commercial roofing contractors. Although we always recommend choosing a roofing contractor fully accredited by the system you select.
Commercial properties using a liquid membrane for their flat roof can benefit from the systems practical characteristics. Whilst also enjoy an attractive finish.

Carefully researching your options before investing in any commercial properties is essential. You'll want to learn about the pros and cons of a few types of commercial roofing systems before you commit to a specific waterproofing solution.
Nowadays, liquid commercial roofing systems such as polyurethane liquid roofing are becoming an increasingly popular option. Liquid roofing offers a quick and convenient installation procedure. This type of roofing can be installed during any season. It is immediately waterproof upon installation.
Commercial properties which use liquid for their roofing can suffer practically no disruption at all. If you are trying to plan a commercial roofing project that won't interfere with your business operations, liquid commercial roofing is a fantastic option. Your facility won't have to be out of service for an extended period of time as it is a flame free application and can be installed quickly at any time of the year. Additionally, the best liquid coating solutions such as Starflex Mono 100 are low odour and come with superb elasticity.
The lack of odour is beneficial as it will not adversely affect any people in the surrounding area. And the elasticity makes it perfect for successfully withstanding the high thermal movement buildings in the UK are subjected to. This elasticity is often overlooked, but it can significantly reduce the probability of flat roof problems as the roof ages. An additional benefit is if later in the roofs service life you do need commercial roof repair work to be carried out, this will be cost effective with minimal disruption
For some commercial facilities, felt commercial roofing might be a good option. Felt roofing offers benefits such as the durability to stand up to regular walking on the roof.
A felt roof can last as long as 20 years and is particularly effective when it comes to standing up to UV ray damage (1). This makes felt commercial roofing a good option if you're in an area that gets an unusually high amount of sun exposure.
When a felt roof is installed, it is typically fixed onto the roof surface through the use of a blow torch. A felt roof typically will involve three separate layers including a perforated underlay, a second underlay, and then a felt cap sheet.
Asphalt is also commonly used in commercial roofing installations. Asphalt offers advantages like effective waterproofing and the option of application over numerous possible substrate materials such as concrete, wood, and metal.
To install an asphalt roof on your commercial structure, your roofing contractor will need to bring the temperature of the asphalt material to 104.4 degrees Celsius. Heating asphalt makes it more readily malleable so that it can be poured in place over the substrate of the roof.
After asphalt is placed over the roof, it must be sanded rubbed and then left to harden. Asphalt roofing can be rendered more resistant to UV damage through the application of a coat of solar reflective paint.
