Making the commitment to install a new commercial flat roofing system can seem daunting and expensive. However, the truth is that investing in an efficient commercial roof can actually end up saving you money on energy costs in the long run. Over time your roof can deteriorate and you may consider a roof replacement for any of the following reasons:
- Poor Quality Insulation in Your Current Roof
- Worn Out Underlayment Material
- Low-Quality Materials Were Used
- You are Experiencing Poor Ventilation in Your Building
- Your Roof is not up to Code
If any or all of these pre-existing conditions is true for your commercial building, investing in a flat roof replacement will be well-worth the initial cost!
3 Ways That A Commercial Roof Replacement Will Cut Your Energy Costs
1 ) Better Insulation Means Less Heat Escaping
With improved insulation to protect the inside of your building from the outside elements and cold winter air, your roof can serve more than just as an accessory to your commercial building. High-quality roofing installation keeps the warm air inside, creating a more energy-efficient environment for your HVAC system.
2 ) Energy-Saving Materials Bring Added Efficiency
The Duro-Last roofing system available through The Duerson Corporation is one of the most energy-efficient systems on the market for flat roof replacement. Using high-quality and energy-saving materials such as those by Duro-Last bring solar reflectance rates of as high as 87.5 percent. These energy-saving materials provide the reflectance you need to keep your roof from heating up in the sun and thus heating up your entire building, making it harder for your AC unit to keep up.
3 ) Improved Ventilation Releases Stuffy, Hot Air
New and updated shingles on your commercial roof can greatly reduce your energy costs by preventing hot air from getting trapped inside. Not only do new shingles help your heating system to not be overworked, they can also withstand large gusts of wind that effectively prevent spiked energy costs from the influx of outside air.
