Flat and Low-Slope Roofing

Industry-Leading Flat Roofing Solutions in Minneapolis

It is common to see flat roofs on both commercial and residential properties all through the Twin Cities. While their low-profile appearance is appealing to many homeowners and businesses, flat roofs are more prone to sustaining storm damage, considering how diverse Minnesota’s weather is.

​Rain, hail, ice, snow and the sun have a greater toll on flat roofs compared to standard sloped roofs. As such, it is essential to ensure that the flat roofing material you select is one that can withstand everything Minnesota’s unpredictable weather throws at it.

The flat rood experts at Bloomington Exteriors use nothing but the best quality flat roofing materials to guarantee you that your roof will withstand all weather conditions despite the season!​

TPO and EPDM Flat Roofing Materials ​

A majority of the flat roofs in the Twin Cities use either TPO or EPDM roofing materials. Bloomington Exteriors is specialized in installing both materials on commercial roofing and residential roofing projects through Minneapolis. While there are a couple of similarities between TPO and EPDM, it is worth understanding how the two are different from each other before choosing a flat roofing material to install on your roof. 

EPDM Flat Roofing Material Explained 

​EPDM is short for ethylene propylene diene monomer. It is a type of synthetic rubber that’s used widely on low slope roofs all across America and around the world.

EPDM Roofing Pros

• It is wind-safe. EPDM is capable of resisting winds of up to 120 mph and greater
  
• It is temperature resistant. The material is capable of withstanding extremely cold or hot temperatures 
  
• Color variety. It’s available in both white and black.

EPDM Roofing Cons ​

• The material is only meant for installation on commercial buildings; which means you can’t use it in residential roofing projects.
• Even when properly installed, its seams on flat roofs could potentially lead to roof leaking or severe roof damage.

TPO Flat Roofing Material Explained 

Short for thermoplastic polyolefin, TPO is a flat roofing material that’s gained broader acceptance within the roofing industry for its installation and performance benefits. TPO, unlike EPDM, can be used to on both residential and commercial roofs.

TPO Roofing Pros 

• It is economical. This is one of the most reasonably priced flat roof roofing materials on the market currently.
• It is durable. TPO is resistant to extreme weather, punctures, dirt, mold, and tears. It is also designed to allow for a structure’s settling or movement.
• It’s energy-efficient. The material has white, flat roofing membranes that reflect heat from homes, helping keep cooling costs low.

TPO Roofing Cons 

• Its durability is a bit questionable since the material hasn’t been around for a long time (it is about a decade old), so its longevity is yet to be known.
