Roofing

As a roofing company, BELDON® Roofing Company takes great pride in offering tough, durable commercial roof coverings for your low-slope or flat roof. Our products are some of the strongest on the market. If you think about it, though, the protection your flat roof provides your Texas business is really thin compared, say, to the total height of your building. A one-story building may be 15 feet high, but the roof material—whether single-ply, built-up or APP/SBS—may be less than a hundredth of that. So thin a covering needs protection from stray boots, dropped tools and heavy equipment.

Keeper of the Keys

Access to your commercial property’s flat roof should stay in the hands of you, the building owner, or your building engineer, by restricting rooftop visits to annual inspections and supervised work. When you know who is going onto the roof, and why, you can keep a log of access and direct visitors where to walk, how to move equipment, and what precautions to follow.

Who Goes There?

Think of the all you may find on your flat or low-slope roof:

  • Air conditioning units
  • Chimneys
  • Commercial satellite dishes
  • Exhaust vents
  • Lighting equipment
  • Signs and billboards
  • Skylights
  • Ventilators
  • Wires and cables
  • Water tower

Every item eventually needs servicing by members of the various trades. Not everyone knows how to move around a flat or low-slope roof safely. You may know where your duckboards, roof walkway mats or demarcation walkways are, but tradesmen may not. Then, too, their work may carry them off the desired paths.

Guidance

Your building engineer should escort outside vendors onto your roof, emphasizing the importance of using prescribed routes and supervising movement of equipment across the roof surface. Single-ply membrane is tough, but the steel corner of an A/C unit will puncture it easily. Just disturbing granules with workboots can lead to weaknesses or leaks.

Inspection

BELDON® Roofing Company can provide accurate, professional reports on the condition of your commercial flat or low-slope roof through twice-yearly inspections. Our expert roofing consultants will walk the flat roof with you or your building engineer, noting all areas of concern and preparing a complete, detailed report. The report not only highlights issues found, but how BELDON® Roofing Company can repair your flat roof to keep your Texas business running smoothly.
