Sentry will install a new commercial roofing system that will keep your building dry for years. Also, as we mentioned in our previous blog post, if your building has a white, highly reflective single-ply membrane roof system, you can expect lower summertime energy costs.
A “cool” roofing system that is energy efficient has additional advantages.
Benefits of Reflective Roofing
By lowering HVAC loads during the middle of the day, reflective Metal Roofing Sheets can help reduce peak utility power demand, especially in urban settings. During this time, the sun is at its strongest, air conditioners are at their busiest, and power companies frequently charge higher rates due to demand.
Most importantly, increased power production may result in an increase in smog and greenhouse gases, two forms of air pollution that are harmful to human health. By reflecting solar radiation back into the atmosphere instead of absorbing it and converting it into heat, highly reflective “cool” commercial roofing systems can help mitigate these issues.
The Duro-Last white single ply membrane system, which has been produced in Saginaw, Michigan, since 1978, is Sentry Roofing’s preferred roofing product. For a long time Guard Material has been one of the greatest volume workers for hire for Duro-Last, having finished a huge number of effective establishments in 40 states. Duro-Last also consistently recognizes Sentry for its high-quality work.
The rooftop framework is exceptionally intelligent and Duro-Last was the principal maker to offer specially pre-assembled parts, uniquely designed to fit each structure, disposing of a critical level of field work, setting aside cash, and further developing last work quality.
In the event that the current structure protection is sound and dry, we can ordinarily introduce the new framework over the current material, killing the requirement for a costly detach and staying away from the removal of usable material in scant landfill space.
Additionally, PVC membrane has inherent environmental advantages. It has a more modest carbon impression than other material items; its carbon content is around 44%, contrasted and a lot higher rate for TPO, EPDM, changed bitumen and developed material. PVC is totally recyclable, and the present PVC material makers have processes set up to guarantee that essentially all piece delivered during creation returns into the assembling system and not into landfills.
After their useful life on the roof, certain commercial roofing materials, like PVC, can be recycled. Through its “Recycle Your Roof” program and sustainable manufacturing practices, Duro-Last has recycled more than 80 million pounds of PVC into commercial flooring and other construction products.
Vegetative Roofing System
Installation and other “green” roofing systems are being installed on commercial roofs all over the country. These new ideas and systems are better for the environment. Owners of commercial buildings are increasingly considering the rooftop as an asset that can provide benefits in addition to watertightness. Rooftop photovoltaic systems, which allow building owners to generate their own power, are the most common of these.
In some parts of the United States where there is a lot of sunshine, what is known as “grid parity” has been made possible by the decreasing cost of installing solar panels. Grid parity occurs when the rooftop generation of electricity costs the same as purchasing it from the utility company when the efficiency of the solar system is sufficient.
Vegetative rooftops are additionally filling in ubiquity. Owners of buildings can take advantage of these systems for a number of reasons, including a reduction in energy consumption, a slowed rate of storm water runoff, an improvement in sound insulation, and an extension of the roof membrane’s lifespan by reducing or eliminating its exposure to ultraviolet light and the elements.
The upkeep required to keep plants watered, fertilized, and trimmed in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem is a disadvantage of vegetative rooftops.
Controlled flow roof drain systems, also known as “blue” roofing systems, are a more recent roofing trend, especially in urban areas. These gadgets are introduced to gather water on the rooftop, then, at that point, control its delivery to abstain from overpowering structure and neighborhood waste frameworks. A few blue frameworks are intended to give water to vegetative rooftops.
