    2. Weathering and Aging

The benchmark life for multi-ply bituminous low-slope roofs is 20 to 30 years and approximately 15 to 25 years for most single-ply roofs. All roofs undergo normal weathering and aging, and the effects of those factors are usually visible. As roofs weather and age normally, openings may occur, leading to water infiltration. Regular inspections call attention to weathered areas and enable an owner to schedule maintenance on these deficiencies to prevent further damage. http://www.facilitiesnet.com/roofing/article/10-Reasons-Roofs-Should-Be-Inspected-Facilities-Management-Roofing-Feature--14605

Commercial Roofing Helps To Weatherproof Large Span Structures

Buildings that are used for commercial purposes need roof repair San Antonio, and quite often prefer to have large spaces that are unobstructed by columns or walls, as this lends more flexibility to any planned operations. Invariably, these leads to steel structures that are able to span large distances, and commercial roofing becomes the choice for roof protection and to guard against weather.

It is very essential that materials used for roofing these structures be long lasting and able to withstand all the environments of the weather. It can also be of enormous help if the materials require very little maintenance as this can lead to savings in cost in the long run. Earlier commercial structures largely used asbestos cement sheets to cover roofs, as they were easy to install, gave some insulation and were fairly durable. Asbestos has since falling into disuse because of its carcinogenic properties, especially in dust form, and has its use has been banned. Metal has replaced asbestos, and other sheeting materials in use for commercial sheeting include PVC, polycarbonate, asphalt, EPDM and fiberglass.

Steel and aluminum are the commonly used materials, and technology has improved to allow sheets of very little thickness to span large distances. It is also possible to coat these sheets with various materials so that they get a permanent finish, and obviated any need for painting. The sheets are also formed in various shapes which enable them to have greater strength and resistance to bending. Many commercial structures that do require climatic control, use sheeting that is made up of an insulation layer sandwiched between two layers of metal or other material. This helps to greatly control temperatures inside and thus reduce utility bills.  

When you go in for any form of commercial roofing, it is best to get in reputable roofing contractors, who are licensed to carry out such work at heights and are also adequately insured. Contractors must be able to offer you a wide choice of sizes, colors and roof styles. They need to take care of any permissions or inspections by authorities, be able to give you roofs that they guarantee as leak proof, and always use materials that approved by the industry and follow certain standards. The contractor must also be able to ensure that your roof has proper drainage, and in certain cases, may also require installing drains and down takes to ensure the complete roofing job.

Roofing work is always undertaken at heights, and workers must always use proper safety equipment like harnesses and safety nets to minimize accidents. They may also need to have lifting equipment to lift the roofing material to heights, though in most cases, sheets are light enough to be hauled up manually. Mechanization can of course speed up the work. Roofing sheets have to be bolted down to structural roofing members, and care had to be taken to see that these anchoring points do not become an entry to rain and moisture, by providing adequate washers and other material. Where roof lengths are high, sheets may have to overlap vertically, as well as horizontally, and the building code does lay down certain standards to ensure that you get a waterproof surface.
