As a Whitemarsh metal roofing specialist BHC is your best choice if you are going to opt for a metal roof. Our experience installing metal roofing on Whitemarsh homes allows us the ability to install a metal roof of any shape or size. At BHC we always place our Whitemarsh roofing customers first.
The sheeting for metal roofing generally consists of galvanized steel in a corrugated form. BHC believes that there are many advantages to using metal roofing for your needs.
For instance, metal roofing is quite lightweight. This makes metal roofing an ideal roofing material if you live in area that is prone to natural disasters or in a colder climate with heavy snow and ice coverage. Another advantage of metal roofing is that metal roofing is very durable and the average lifespan for metal roofing is about 25 years, which is double that of the typical asphalt material used in the Whitemarsh roofing industry. BHC can also provide you with added durability via aluminium alloy insulation. BHC has scientific evidence that this added insulation can increase the lifespan of a roof by up to 50%.
BHC also recommends metal roofing because of its optimal weight to strength ratio and impressive flexibility. Metal roofing is also a great choice due to its resistance against wind, fire, and hailstorms. Interestingly, most metal roofing materials such as copper and aluminium consist of 95% biodegradable alloys which make it a great option if you are concerned about the environmental impact of your roof.
Metal roofing is energy and labour efficient and has minimal upkeep requirements. However, installation of metal roofing is not foolproof. The inefficient use of compounds and their subsequent mixing can exacerbate erosion thereby shortening the lifespan of your Whitemarsh roof. That is why installation by a certified professional installer such as BHC is incredibly important.
BHC is the uncontested Plymouth Meeting roofing leader in ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) roofing systems. We strongly believe that EPDM roofing systems offer several benefits over its Plymouth Meeting roofing counterparts.
For instance, BHC believes that EPDM roofing is ideal for low slope roofing, whether it be a new roof or a re-roofing application. Moreover, we are impressed by the versatility, durability, design, and ease of use of EPDM roofing materials. In addition, we use a synthetic rubber compound for our EPDM roofing systems due to its demonstrated resistance against climatic heat, cold, and wind conditions.
%WORKCITY%Moreover, studies have shown that the typical lifespan of EPDM based roofing applications is 20 years. In fact, we would recommend the EPDM roofing system if your establishment suffers from rafter leakage, failing joints, or weathering issues.
In addition, BHC would recommend EPDM roofing systems due to their inexpensiveness, ease of application, and repair. We also value the cleanliness and lack of irritants that are packaged with an EPDM system. In effect, you will never have to worry about toxic fumes affecting the value of your property.
Moreover, at BHC EPDM is available in both a cured (vulcanized) and non-cured (non-vulcanized) form, as well as reinforced and unreinforced variants. We generally use the vulcanized form, while we tend to use the non-vulcanized form of EPDM for flashing purposes. In addition, we can mechanically attach EPDM to your roof via a propriety substrate. Or, BHC can use a completely adhered EPDM- which utilizes an aqueous solvent adhesive-to merge the rubber compound with the substrate. The choice is yours.
Thus, BHC highly recommends EPDM roofing systems due to their reliability, durability, flexibility, low-cost, ease of repair and application, non-emission, and resistance against elemental hazards.
