Flat roof systems are constantly abused by Mother Nature. The abuse starts as soon as the sun starts to rise. The heat of the sun quickly brings up the temperature of the entire roof. This heat is then transferred into the rest of the building, causing energy costs to rise and premature wear-and-tear on the supporting structure.
Flat roof systems also have to deal with rain, wind and hail. Rain can be one of the worst problems for this type of roof. On a flat roof, the water has nowhere to go. It puddles and ponds causing a never-ending system of leaks that seems to spring up all over the roof. The leaks quickly spread and cause decay, mold and other structural problems. Flat roofs are in constant need of repair, and it may even seem best to remove the entire roof and have a new one installed.
Comparing Your Options
The costs of replacing your entire roofing system can quickly add up and push you far over your roofing budget. Tear-off costs alone can run from 25 to 75 cents per square foot. On an industrial roof that is 100,000 square feet; you could be spending as much as $7,500.00 on tear off costs alone. All of this can be avoided, not to mention the high labor costs for the time involved—you can extend the life of your roof by as much as 20 years with just one application of energy-efficient Conklin® roof coating.
