Elastomeric Membrane: A Roof Built to Withstand It All
The elastomeric membrane is a very attractive option for residents of the municipality of Cornwall. Indeed, our region frequently experiences the whims of Mother Nature. Winters are often very snowy and humid, which places considerable stress on the supports of structures and requires frequent snow removal from roofs. During the summer, sudden and sometimes heavy rains put roof waterproofing to the test. The lifespan of a gravel-covered roof will undoubtedly be reduced.
On the other hand, the elastomeric membrane is particularly lightweight; sometimes half as heavy as a typical gravel covering. This characteristic reduces the weight that your building's structure must bear. Furthermore, its double layer composed of a blend of polymers, carbon fibers, and gravel makes it much more resistant to damage caused by shoveling or debris.
Although more expensive, this type of roofing has a lifespan ranging from 35 to 40 years. It is a sustainable investment that maximizes the energy efficiency of your building. In fact, it is possible to choose the color of the membrane sheets. Lighter ones will reduce heat buildup during the summer, thereby reducing your ventilation costs. Regular elastomeric membrane must be installed by thermowelding. If you choose a single-ply TPO membrane instead, the installation can be done mechanically or with an adhesive specifically designed for this purpose.
Your Expert Team in Cornwall.
We often repeat this, but attempting to install an elastomeric membrane on your own is not recommended. Indeed, these membranes require specific expertise. As mentioned earlier, it is necessary to use specialized equipment, including a torch, to ensure the waterproofing of the joints. Such a treatment involves serious fire risks if improvised.
OWith several years of experience with such coverings, the COSSETTE ROOFING team stands out in the Cornwall region. We offer advantageous warranties and post-installation maintenance services if necessary. Even better, we can install an elastomeric membrane both in winter and summer.
