Flat roofing is something best left to Roofing Contractors who have the experience, training and certifications for installing these systems as most Roofing Contractors install Asphalt Shingles only. At McKay's we are manufacture certified and have experience in most of the accepted Flat Roof Systems in the market today. We take it upon ourselves to have refresher training every winter at our shop to make sure we are up to date with the proper installation methods.
Modified Bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing system designed to withstand temperature fluctuations and resist water infiltration. Made with reinforced layers, it offers flexibility and strength, making it ideal for residential flat roofs in colder climates. This material can be applied via torch or self-adhering rolls, giving homeowners a dependable, budget-friendly option that's proven to last.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane known for its energy-efficient white surface that reflects sunlight, reducing heat buildup. It's highly resistant to UV rays and weathering, making it an eco-friendly, cost-effective choice. TPO membranes are heat-welded at the seams, creating a watertight and durable seal that stands up to Ontario's temperature swings.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a high-performance single-ply membrane offering excellent durability and flexibility. With heat-welded seams, PVC roofs are highly resistant to punctures and chemicals, and they feature a reflective surface that can lower cooling costs in warmer seasons. PVC roofing is often chosen for its clean, attractive appearance and reliable strength, perfect for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance option.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane favored for its flexibility and resistance to UV radiation. This black rubber roofing material is exceptionally durable and it remains pliable in low temperatures, ideal for Ontario's winters. EPDM is also straightforward to repair, making it a popular, long-lasting choice.
