Durable Flat Roofing Systems for Glendale Heights, Illinois

Commercial roofs in Glendale Heights benefit from simple, durable details. Keep drainage direct with tapered crickets that move water to drains, and set strainers tight so leaves cannot wedge underneath. Where roof levels step, install clean expansion joints to absorb movement. If older coping sits on parapets, check fastener spacing and seal joints so wind-driven rain does not reach the substrate.

Choose the membrane for the buildings use. TPO provides reflectivity and heat-welded seams. EPDM handles longer runs and movement. Modified bitumen stands up to frequent penetrations and tight edges. Protect service paths with walkway pads and use raised, fully flashed curbs at units to stop vibration from wearing at nearby seams.
