The traditional roofing system known as built-up roofing, often referred to as tar & gravel roofing, remains one of the most longstanding options in use in the Chicago area, and for valid reasons. This type of roofing performs well and is particularly well-suited for certain commercial purposes. It is cost-effective and its multiple layers provide excellent protection against water when properly installed. The crucial aspect of built-up roofing lies in the installation process, which requires skilled professionals familiar with the materials. Otherwise, there is a risk of facing ongoing issues such as leaks and constant repairs. To ensure a successful built-up roofing project for your property, it is essential to rely on the expertise of professionals like Taurus Roofing & Siding.

Modified bitumen, also known as mod bit, roofing combines conventional and contemporary materials. This innovative roofing type blends traditional asphalt with polyester or fiberglass, resulting in a lightweight, robust, and highly durable material. Through a strategic layering process during installation, the roof becomes resilient, puncture-proof, and capable of withstanding Chicago's harsh weather conditions. The use of these materials allows for intricate and complex roof designs without compromising the material's effectiveness. Ideal for industrial and commercial purposes, this roofing solution is surprisingly cost-effective. For more information, contact the experts at Taurus Roofing & Siding by calling (312) 238-0408.

When considering single-ply roofing, it's essential to understand the two main categories of materials involved: thermosets and thermoplastics. Both of these types are sheet-based and are particularly suitable for extensive roofing projects where resilience and UV protection are crucial aspects.

All single-ply systems are specifically designed with components to resist ultraviolet rays and effectively withstand environmental challenges. This roofing solution is especially well-suited for managing large industrial properties, and our expert team can swiftly and accurately install it.

Taurus Roofing & Siding is the leading roofing company in the Chicago area specializing in the installation, repair, and maintenance of TPO & PVC roofing systems.

However, due to their delicate nature during installation, it is crucial to hire highly skilled roofers to ensure proper installation and repair. Without expert handling, the advantages of these systems could potentially turn into weaknesses by allowing moisture infiltration. It is essential to rely on professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of these materials to guarantee a well-installed roof.

Even though Chicago is more famous for its cold climate rather than its sunny and hot weather, the city's urban areas can experience temperatures exceeding 100°F during the extended hot summer season. These high temperatures, influenced by the heat island effect from extensive concrete surfaces, may not decrease significantly overnight depending on the location of your building. To effectively combat this heat and reduce energy costs, it is recommended to have a professional roofer apply a cool roof coating. Taurus Roofing & Siding specializes in a variety of cool roof coating products tailored to meet your specific requirements.
