Roofing Systems

Roofing systems bear the brunt of nature’s wrath. High winds, rain, hail, the sun’s UV rays and the sudden and constant changes in temperature all contribute to punish and shorten the life of the roofing system. The type of roofing system we choose can help extend the life of the roof and have a positive effect on the sustainability of our structure. Conversely the roofing system can have an effect on the environment. The urban heat island effect is blamed for high ozone and pollution in many of our larger cities. Cool Roofs and Green Roofs are two systems that address the root causes of the urban heat island effect.
