Roof insulation is just as important for the performance and durability of commercial roofs as it is in the case of residential construction – whether your commercial roofing is completely flat or it is sloping in a lower or steeper angle, whether it is made from metal, built-up layers, EPDM, TRP, PVC or other, the insulation will make it resistant to water, wind and UV radiation – here are a few more insulation details from commercial roofers in Denver about why you should insulate your commercial roof:
- Improved energy efficiency – commercial buildings, especially large ones, are very expensive to heat and cool. Insulation seals the building from above, preventing heat exchange between the building interior and the environment and reducing heating and cooling-related energy bills;
- Reducing the risk of interior condensation build-up – moisture trapped inside the building can lead to the appearance of mold and mildew, which can lead to health risks as well as to building damage. Proper roof installation can reduce the risk of this type of damage as well;
- Reduced risk of leaks and of other types of roof damage – roof insulation can efficiently reduce the risk of cracks, holes and other types of structural damage on the roof, thus protecting the building against leaks;
- Reduced maintenance needs – insulated roofs are easier and cheaper to maintain as well.
