TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL ROOFING MATERIALS

There are various types of materials that can be used for flat roofs on residential, commercial or institutional buildings:

  • Elastomeric membrane
  • Asphalt/Gravel roofing
  • TPO membrane

Our specialists will propose the product that best suits your type of building and budget.

ELASTOMERIC MEMBRANE RESIDENTIAL ROOFS

Many owners choose this membrane for their flat roof or their roof with low slopes. This type of membrane is very resistant and under certain conditions can last up to 30 years. Elastomeric membrane roofs require little maintenance and are adapted to the climate of Quebec.

This product is available in several colours. Pale colours, such as white or grey, have the advantage of keeping the membrane from overheating and extending the life of the roof.

ASPHALT AND GRAVEL RESIDENTIAL ROOFS

Couvreurs Dubuc offers a tar and gravel roofing service. This type of roof is also known as a multilayer membrane roof or BUR (built-up roof). Tar and gravel is a popular choice for flat or low-pitch roofs, as it offers good weather resistance and long-term durability.

The process of building an asphalt and gravel roof involves several layers of saturated felts and is loaded with liquid asphalt between each layer. The last layer is covered with gravel to protect the surface against UV rays.

Couvreurs Dubuc can help you decide if a tar and gravel roof is the right choice for your project. We also offer professional installation and maintenance services to ensure that your roof remains in good condition for many years to come. Tar and gravel roofing is a cost-effective solution for small and large surfaces. It is fire-resistant and has an average lifespan of 20 years.

TPO MEMBRANE RESIDENTIAL ROOFS

Couvreurs Dubuc also offers a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membrane roofing service. This type of roof is a popular choice for buildings with a flat or low-pitch roof. TPO roofing consists of a white single-ply membrane and is recommended for medium to large new roofs. The membrane can be affixed with glue or screwed on.

TPO roofs are made of a thermoplastic sheet reinforced with fibreglass or polyester fibres. It is fusion-welded with a hot air gun to create a waterproof and durable surface that can withstand the elements and UV damage. This type of roof is also chemical-resistant and resists tearing and perforation.

We can help you decide if a TPO roof is the right choice for your project. The TPO membrane roof has an average lifespan of nearly 30 years under good conditions. Recyclable and low-maintenance, it can be a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice. Feel free to contact us to learn more about this type of roofing.
