EPDM or firestone rubber roofs are the best option for your garage roof since they can be laid on any substrate and are extremely durable and long-lasting. Plus it is easy to install and there is little to no upkeep required.If you are looking for a more affordable option, then perhaps metal garage roofs will be better since they are long-lasting and affordable. You could also choose asphalt roofs if you are looking for an even cheaper option, but they don’t last long and can break down with sun and water exposure.

Can I cover the asbestos garage roof?

Yes, it is possible to clad over or cover an asbestos roof. Technically, you have two options: either you could coat the roof using a special coating system and it will seal all the fibres, or you could over clad using steel. There are flaws and advantages of both options. The coating cannot be done on a broken and damaged roof but if the roof is in okay condition, then the coating can be applied and it will be cheaper and low risk. Over cladding is not only more expensive but you also have to drill holes in the previous roof which can cause the asbestos particles to be released into the air. Moreover, over-cladding an asbestos roof might buckle the foundation since it was not constructed to be strong enough to sustain steal. But it is long-lasting, durable once done properly, and is more weather resistant. Your options will depend on the condition of your roof, as one customer stated, I have recently had the garage roof replaced on my managed property. It was an old asbestos roof that was leaking in a number of places and was advised due to the material and age to replace rather than repair

The longevity of your roof depends on the materials that are used to make it. Flat roofs made of asphalt shingles last a short time because flat roofs don’t have natural drainage and asphalt is weak to water and sun, while roofs that are constructed of EPDM and metal can last a long time because they are made of rubber and steel.

What is the most common type of commercial roof?

Metal roofs are among the few commercial roofing systems that have recently gained popularity. They offer added protective surface layers that can handle damage from prolonged exposure to environmental dangers, such as sunlight. Plus, metal would have stronger fire resistance than traditional roofing options, creating more sustainable and reliable designs.

What are the most commercial roofs made from?

As brushed upon prior, metal roofs are probably the most common. They’re cheap, efficient, and straightforward to install.

What is the longest-lasting flat roof?

Out of all possible materials, EPDM offers one-of-a-kind durability. With its increased rubber thickness, the resilient material is capable of excellent tear and puncture resistance.
