As reported by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), black surfaces in the sun can become up to 90° F hotter than the most reflective white surfaces. Heat increases stress to the entire roofing system, shortening system life span. Hotter roofs increase internal building temperatures, require cooling systems to work harder. Trapped heat also causes a heat island effect in which surrounding temperatures in developed areas rise faster, become hotter, and remain hotter even after sundown. The result is increased energy demand, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, heat related illness, and more. Silicone roof coatings deliver high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance, which significantly reduce roof temperatures. Lower roof temperatures have been proven to decrease internal building temperatures resulting in recurring savings from reduced air conditioning needs. As an added benefit, air conditioning equipment is less strained, which can extend the life span of that equipment, too. The bottom line is that an APOC Cool Roof Restoration System can significantly increase energy efficiency, saving money along the way.

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber polymerized together. It is typically installed in a fully adhered or mechanically attached system, allowing the white membrane to remain exposed throughout the life of the roof.

When considering replacing your roof system, it's a good idea to give consideration to TPO roof membranes as a potential solution. There is no one membrane that is good in all situations, so it is best to compare membrane options to your unique situation in order to choose the best solution.

Commercial roof restoration (aka roof renovation) can be a smart alternative to a tear-off, provided the flat or low-slope roof is a good candidate. A pitched composition or asphalt shingle roof may also qualify for a recover.

As part of our complimentary inspection, our qualified estimators will determine if your existing roof is a good candidate for a roof restoration service.

Part of our due diligence is to confirm with the city where the building is located how many layers of roofing are allowed on your building. This also would apply to recovering a flat roof with a torch modified system.

Below are the types of roof systems we are currently certified and licensed to install for a commercial roof restoration, renovation or recover in Southern California and the surrounding areas. All of these roof systems can meet Title 24 compliance.

✓ Silicone Roof Coating Systems

✓ Elastomeric/Acrylic Roof Coating Systems

✓ Single-Ply Roof Systems

✓ TPO Roof System

✓ Asphalt or Composition Shingle Recover
