Types of roofing to install in New Jersey

EPDM Flat roofing

EPDM, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is generally black rubber membrane roofing. They are durable and weather-resistant - making them perfect for commercial and home use. Suitable for flat or low-slope roofs, they offer protection against UV rays or extreme weather conditions and low-maintenance features.

TPO flat roofing

TPO or Thermoplastic Polyolefin is similar to EPDM flat roofing. They are a combination of polypropylene and ethylene and are popular for their better energy efficiency and low maintenance. Besides, they offer higher resistance against UV rays, extreme weather, and chemical exposure - making them perfect for commercial use. The white or light color makes them even more attractive to the users.

Torch Down Roofing

Torch-down roofing is a simple yet very effective roofing type. Professionals use an open-flame propane torch to melt bitumen sheets and combine seams. Torch-down roofing offers excellent protection against water and moisture. It is easy to install which makes it a popular choice among home and business owners.

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles are a type of asphalt shingle installed to mimic classic roof materials such as slate or wood. The shingles have multiple layers of asphalt with smooth finishes over them. It improves the aesthetic visual of the house. These types of roofings are suitable for steep-slope roofs. Homeowners like them for their higher durability and better wind resistance.

Cedar Shingles

Cedar shingles are a common name in the roofing industry and are popular for their rustic charm and natural beauty. The name itself says that they are made of cedar wood. Due to the materials, they are good-looking, resistant to decay, rot, and insects, and eco-friendly. People can use them for commercial or residential use. However, they require regular maintenance and cleaning to stay in shape.

CertainTeed Shingles

Certainteed is one of the world's largest manufacturers of asphalt shingles and is known for its quality. Their shingles are generally made of asphalt and fiberglass, delivering superior protection against weather and UV. It offers different types of shingles with different styles, colors, and designs, making them a perfect option for home and business places.

Cool Roof Technology

This type of roofing uses coating technology with quality materials to reflect the sunlight. It absorbs less heat to keep the house cool. Consequently, the energy bills go down. Due to its low cooling mechanism, it is highly popular and endorsed in areas with higher heat, especially in urban areas.

Copper Roofing

Copper roofing offers durability, longevity, and versatility. It can last centuries without taking much care. That is why it is more suitable for commercial uses. These roofs are made of copper sheets or shingles, making them beautiful and improving the impression of commercial spaces.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing is suitable for tall buildings where traditional roofings are unsuitable or too expensive. You can construct flat roofing using different materials such as EPDM, TPO, PVC, and others. However, you must ensure proper water drainage to prevent water-related damage and leaks.

Luxury Shingles

Luxury shingles are high-quality asphalt shingles that mimic expensive slate or tile roofing. People use them to show royalty and exclusiveness. These shingles are durable, aesthetic, and, most importantly, luxurious. They come in different styles, colors, and textures so that you can pick the most suitable one for your needs.

Metal roofing

Metal roofings are made of steel, aluminum, copper, or shingles. They are highly durable and long-lasting. To meet the users ' unique needs, they come in different versions, such as standing seam, corrugated panels, and others. They are also fire-resistance and energy-efficient, perfect for commercial and residential uses.

Green roofing

Green roofing is getting increasingly popular due to the heat they absorb. It is an idea to install plants or grasses on the roof to reduce the heat inside the house. Besides, it has a waterproofing membrane and drainage system that makes it water-resistant. People are using these roofings for their homes or business spaces.

Solar roofing

Solar roofing is another type of energy-efficient roofing system. Solar panels or tiles are installed on the roof to absorb sun energy and convert it into electricity. Due to the concern of non-renewable resources, these roofings are gaining more popularity.

TILE ROOFING

Tile roofing is suitable for home and commercial use. They are good-looking, durable, and long-lasting. You can pick from different sizes, colors, and designs.

SLATE ROOFING

Slate roofing is an expensive and exclusive roofing material. They are made of natural stones or tiles that improve the aesthetic look of the house. You will have more reselling value for this roofing due to its elegance.
