Calgary Commercial Roofing: Selection Factors
Anyone considering the construction or renovation of a commercial building should think about what the roofing should be and what materials will ensure the safety and durability of the building. During the design and material selection, there are several important factors to consider:
- Calgary’s climatic conditions — commercial roofing must withstand snowfall, rain, hail, and sometimes high winds.
- Roofing materials: The most popular materials are EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), or PVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) membrane roofing.
- Installation technologies — We use modern technologies, such as mechanical fastening of the membrane, which ensures strong and secure fastening even in strong winds. We also consider ventilation and drainage to prevent moisture buildup and ice formation.
- Requirements and Regulations — Edmonton commercial roofing must meet local building codes and regulations regarding roof pitch, insulation levels, and material strength.
- Ultimately, choosing Commercial Roofing in Calgary and Edmonton is a complex process requiring mandatory professional consultation. A properly selected and installed roof will provide the building with protection and long-term reliability in the harshest weather conditions of this region.

TRO
Thermoplastic Polyolefin
- Popular choice in “green” buildings.
- These roofs are highly resistant to UV rays, ozone and chemical exposure.
- Highly reflective design options also effectively trim building cooling costs.
- Resistant to ponding water.
- Less flexible and more flammable than PVC
Roofing Methods
- Mechanically AttachedMembrane is mechanically attached to the structure with mechanical anchors
- Fully AdheredMembrane is bonded directly to the insulation board or other substrate
- Point-AffixedPlates are installed at fixed intervals & the membrane is welded to the plates.
-

EPDM
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer
- Outstanding resistance to heat, ozone, polar substances, and weather-born stress.
- EPDM systems consist of a single-ply membrane that makes a roof completely waterproof and does not pollute run-off rainwater.
- All seams glued down
- Requires less installation equipment for a faster, less expensive installation
Installation Methods
- Mechanically Attached Membrane is attached to the structure with mechanical anchors
- Fully Adhered Membrane is bonded directly to the insulation board or other substrate
- Ballasted 10-12 pounds per sq. ft. of rock ballast hold the membrane into place. Requires structural engineering approval.
-

PVC
Poly Vinyl Chloride
- PVC roof systems are lightweight and highly reflective.
- PVC roofs are the consistent choice of eco-friendly contractors and building owners.
- Heat welded no open flame creates extra strong seems.
- Resistant to ponding water
- PVC is a good choice for facilities with grease, oil, and chemical concerns. PVC roofing systems have a long history of meeting the most stringent codes across the industry, and are a good choice for durability and efficiency.

BUR
Built up Roof Membranes
- BUR roofs can be composed of two, three, four or more layers – the greater the number of layers, the more durable the roofing becomes.
- The installation process consists of mopping hot bitumen material onto the surface of the roof and felt is then applied on top of that.
- There are also cold-applied adhesive bitumen material available, which eliminates the need for steaming hot bitumen. This is a safer option that retains the same waterproofing and durability of traditional hot bitumen.
- Ponding water will damage the roof
-
More info
SBS
Styrene Butadiene Styrene
- A standard modified bitumen roof system is a two-ply system applied in rolls that overlap the edge of the previous roll.
- Modified bitumen roof systems can be installed with the common torch method, asphalts, or cold adhesives.
- Standing water will damage the roof
- Withstands traffic and wear better than BUR roofs

Common commercial roof problems
-
Wathering
Roofing deteriorates with direct exposure to Alberta’s changing weather conditions. Extreme temperature changes can compromise commercial flat roofs. Cold weather and rain will cool the surface of the roof making it brittle and more susceptible to punctures and tears. Low-slope roof systems are also be susceptible to damage from polution, UV light, hail, freezing rain and snow loads.
-
Mechanical
Membrane deterioration can be caused by rooftop equipment. Discharge from HVAC units and grease fans can be harmful to the roof system. Overflow from AC drainage pans can cause runoff that ponds on the roof, leading to deterioration and moisture infiltration.
-
Ponding
Ponding is a problem when water does not drain off the roof within 48-hours following a rainfall. In addition to the obvious problem with ponding, excess water on the roof can promote vegetation growth.
-
Debris
Debris like leaves, needles and wind blown garbage can accumulate around roof drains, which can lead to water damming up and ponding.
