Commercial vs. Industrial Roofing
Malone Roofing separates commercial and industrial roofing based on how a building is used and the demands placed on the roof.
Commercial flat roofing systems are common on offices, retail spaces, schools, and medical facilities. These roofs balance durability, energy efficiency, and appearance, especially for buildings that are public-facing.
Industrial roofing systems are designed for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing facilities. They must withstand harsher environments and support heavier equipment loads.
From a design perspective, commercial roofs may include rooftop gardens or solar systems. Industrial roofs focus on structural strength and performance. They are built to support HVAC units, electrical systems, ventilation infrastructure, and emissions-control equipment.

Top Industrial Roofing Types
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-Up Roofing consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric. This layered system creates a durable, waterproof membrane that performs well in high-traffic industrial settings.
EPDM Roof Membrane
EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane known for long service life. It resists UV exposure, extreme weather, and temperature changes. Because it also withstands certain chemicals, it is commonly used in industrial environments.
Thermoplastic (PVC & TPO) Roof Membranes
PVC and TPO membranes offer strong protection against chemicals, punctures, and moisture. Their reflective surfaces can help reduce cooling costs in large facilities. These systems are also suitable for roofs that require frequent access.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based system designed for low-slope and flat roofs. It provides strength, flexibility, and resistance to foot traffic, making it a practical choice for industrial buildings with ongoing maintenance needs.

Industrial Roofing Maintenance
An effective maintenance program is essential for extending roof lifespan and protecting daily operations.
Semi-annual inspections—typically in spring and fall—help identify early signs of damage. Additional inspections are recommended after severe weather. Detailed documentation, including photographs and repair records, allows building owners to track roof condition over time.
Maintenance also includes clearing debris from the roof and drainage systems to prevent water pooling. Technicians inspect roofing materials for cracks, blistering, corrosion, and loose fasteners. Structural components are evaluated for signs of stress, especially on roofs that support heavy equipment.
Sealants and flashings around penetrations and edges are checked regularly, as these areas are prone to leaks. Vegetation growth is controlled to prevent root and moisture damage. Malone Roofing also helps clients develop emergency response plans to manage unexpected roof issues quickly and effectively.
