FLAT ROOFS

Diamond Roofing specializes in multiple types of Flat Roofs:

All Title 24-compliant White Cool Flat Roof Systems

Cool roofs reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofs. Traditional dark colored roofing materials strongly absorb heat from sunlight, making them warm in the sun and heating the building. On the other hand, cool roofs stay cooler in the sun and transmit less heat into the building. This helps reduce energy costs, improve comfort, cut maintenance costs, and increase the life of the roof.

TPO

TPO is a single-ply roofing system consisting of a thermoplastic polyolefin membrane. TPO is actually one of a few different types of rubber, usually a blend of polypropylene and ethylenepropylene rubber. One of the factors that makes TPO roofing attractive both in residential and commercial construction is its reasonable cost. TPO offers many of the same benefits as PVC roofing, such as hot-air weldable seams and energy efficiency, but at a lower cost. The energy efficiency of TPO roofing membranes makes them highly attractive to home owners who want to have the benefits of savings on their cooling costs as well as help the environment by reducing the carbon footprint.

Poly Foam

Poly foam roofs provide easy installation, energy efficiency, and easy maintenance. Foam roofs are seamless and waterproof which eliminates the vulnerability of leaks. Once the roof has been cleaned the liquid is sprayed directly onto the existing roof and expands into a foam conforming to the shape of the roof. The foam keeps heat out in the summer and in during the winter lowering energy costs. Once installed, and properly maintained these roofs require minimal upkeep. Foam roofs create little to no waste during their lifetime, and the materials used are environmentally friendly.

Hot Tar

Hot tar is a durable waterproof option generally used for flat roofs. This kind of material is highly resistant to the ultraviolet rays from the sun and can substantially lower energy costs. Typically, tar is a dark/oily mixture made from coal tar and petroleum by-products making it an unsustainable product that can give off noxious fumes during the application process. When installing hot tar roofing, contractors create a seal that can completely withstand moisture and eliminate the risk of mold. Of all the flat roofing options, a tar and gravel roof is the most economical.

PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride, also known as, Vinyl Roofing is considered one of the longest lasting flat roof coverings out there. PVC roofing membranes are exceptionally strong, durable, and impermeable to moisture due to the hot-air welded seams. Hot-air welded seams form a permanent, watertight bond that is actually stronger than the membrane itself. This gives PVC roofs an edge over other roofing systems, which rely on adhesives, tapes, and caulks to seal the seams, and as a result are inherently less durable than PVC. White PVC roofs have the highest reflectivity of any roof color, as well as strength and durability, resistance to moisture, wind, fire and chemicals. PVC roofs are consistently chosen by homeowners looking to install an Eco-friendly system over their flat or low slope roof. With a PVC roof, commercial buildings, such as manufacturing facilities, will not face roofing problems that result from exposure to chemicals, as PVC is highly resistant to chemical damage.
