What Is An Industrial Roof?

Industrial roofing in general typically tends to be flat or a low slope roof design. In general, there are five types of roofing that is used on industrial roofs.

5 Types of Industrial Roofs

Built Up Roofing

Built-up roofing (BUR) consists of multiple layers of roofing materials laminated together, typically alternating between bitumen and reinforcing fabrics. This creates a durable, waterproof membrane ideal for flat or low-slope industrial roofs.

Spray Foam Roofing

Spray foam roofing is applied as a liquid that expands into a solid foam, forming a seamless, insulating barrier. It easily covers roof penetrations like pipes and vents, offering excellent waterproofing and energy efficiency.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen roofing includes layers of asphalt combined with plastic or rubber additives for enhanced durability and flexibility. It’s a popular choice for flat roofs due to its resistance to extreme weather and foot traffic.

Single Ply Roofing Membrane

Single ply membrane systems, such as TPO or EPDM, consist of four main components: insulation, a waterproof membrane (rubber or plastic), flashing, and adhesive. This system is lightweight, energy-efficient, and ideal for large industrial roofs.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is best suited for low-slope industrial roofs. Typically made of steel, aluminum, or copper, it’s known for its durability, fire resistance, and long lifespan. Metal roofs also offer a clean, modern aesthetic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a recommendation to go with MCR, we didn’t know our home came without a ridge cap installed, til the rain started coming into the house. These guys were so quick the estimates, returning phone calls and getting the work done. We got a ridge vent and cap replacement. Didn’t need to spend more than what just needed repaired. Will be recommending them to everyone. Will be back in the future for more work. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire team at Middle Creek Roofing was phenomenal. They replaced our roof in Lancaster, PA and we could not be more satisfied with the result. Janine made sure we were updated every step of way so we knew exactly what to expect and when to expect it. When the Crew arrived on install day they knew all the details of the project. They were kind, courteous of our surroundings, and very tidy while working. The clean up was flawless. 10/10 I would recommend Middle Creek Roofing for your next roof replacement!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. House located in Bernville. Received a shingle replacement.

They did a great job! They were super professional, very respectful of the property, cleaned up everything afterwards, and I can’t believe how fast they were. The flashing around the chimney and windows looks excellent, and the shingles are lying down the way they’re supposed to!

Matt Tilley was our very professional and personable contact person. He got up on the roof and took videos of everything so we could really see what the issues were, and then he explained the whole roofing process really well to us.  He also provided a follow up video so that we could see what the finished product looked like from up on the roof, which was really gratifying and helpful.

We are very happy with this company and our new roof!
