Candid Centennial roofers will tell you that commercial flat roofs are actually very different from regular residential roofing installations. Instead of the complex installation of a sloped roof sustained by a somewhat intricate wooden or metal structure holding it up, you have a flat membrane typically poured into place and allowed to harden. Although this isn’t the installation process with all flat commercial roofs – some of them being installed as sheets or panels of material – all flat roofs can be coated quite easily to provide for a better level of resilience against storms, UV rays and more.

Roof coating can help a lot in the case of commercial installations. First of all, since there is no slope, storms can hit the roof perpendicularly, which intensifies the damage from hail. As a result, getting the right coating can help a lot with improving impact resistance. Also, there are coatings for UV radiation and for weatherproofing, so damage from exposure to sunlight and excessive rainfall can be prevented much more easily. Finally, with the right type of coating, your roof can also become more resilient in the face of a fire, in which case preventing the roof from collapsing on the floor below can even save lives in the process.
