Commercial Cool Roof Installation Services We Provide
Cool roof technology offers proven energy savings and environmental benefits for commercial properties in Long Beach's warm climate. Our installation expertise ensures you receive maximum performance and warranty coverage from your cool roof investment.
Reflective TPO Installation
We install high-performance white TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofing membranes that reflect up to 85% of solar energy to keep roof surfaces cool throughout the day. These single-ply membranes are heat-welded at seams to create completely watertight systems that resist wind uplift, punctures, and chemical exposure.
Our TPO installation process includes proper insulation placement and vapor barriers that maximize energy efficiency while preventing moisture problems inside buildings. White TPO systems typically reduce roof surface temperatures by 50-70°F compared to conventional dark roofing materials during peak summer conditions.
Energy-Efficient PVC Systems
Our premium PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) cool roof systems provide exceptional solar reflectance and thermal efficiency for commercial buildings that need maximum energy performance and durability. PVC membranes naturally resist UV degradation, chemical exposure, and fire while maintaining a bright white color that reflects heat effectively throughout their service life.
These systems work especially well on roofs with grease exposure, chemical runoff, or high foot traffic because PVC resists staining and damage better than other membrane types. Professional PVC installation includes reinforcement at penetrations and proper flashing details that ensure long-term performance and warranty compliance.
Cool EPDM Applications
We install white EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber membranes that combine the durability of traditional EPDM with reflective properties that reduce cooling costs significantly. White EPDM provides excellent flexibility for buildings that experience significant thermal movement and maintains reflectivity better than coated systems over time.
These membranes are ideal for larger commercial roofs where cost-effectiveness and proven performance are priorities while still achieving meaningful energy savings. Our EPDM installation includes proper adhesion or mechanical attachment methods that ensure wind resistance and watertight performance for decades of service.
Cool Roof Energy Benefits
Cool roof technology delivers measurable energy savings and comfort improvements that justify the investment for most commercial buildings in Long Beach's climate.
Immediate Cooling Cost Reduction
Cool roofs can reduce air conditioning costs by 15-30% by lowering roof surface temperatures and reducing heat transfer into building interiors during hot weather. Reflective roof surfaces stay 50-70°F cooler than dark surfaces, which means less heat enters the building through the roof assembly during peak cooling periods.
Peak Demand Reduction
Cool roofs help reduce peak electrical demand during the hottest parts of summer days when utility rates are highest and grid stress is greatest. By reducing cooling loads during peak hours, cool roofs can lower demand charges on commercial electric bills and reduce total energy costs beyond basic kilowatt-hour savings.
Indoor Comfort Improvement
Buildings with cool roofs maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and reduce hot spots that occur near roof areas during extreme weather conditions. Improved thermal comfort reduces complaints from tenants and employees while creating more pleasant working conditions that can improve productivity and satisfaction levels.
Cool Roof Materials and Technologies
Modern cool roof materials use advanced technologies to provide superior performance compared to traditional roofing systems.
High-Performance Membrane Materials
We install cool roof membranes made from advanced polymer formulations that maintain reflectivity and flexibility throughout their service life without degradation from UV exposure. These materials use titanium dioxide pigments and other reflective additives that reflect infrared and visible light while resisting dirt accumulation and staining. Premium membrane materials also include antimicrobial treatments that prevent algae and mold growth that can reduce reflectivity and create maintenance problems over time.
Reflective Coating Systems
Cool roof coatings use ceramic microspheres and reflective pigments to create highly reflective surfaces that can be applied over existing commercial roofing systems. These coatings provide solar reflectance ratings up to 0.85 and thermal emittance values that exceed 0.90 for optimal cooling performance in hot climates. Advanced coating formulations also include dirt-resistant properties that maintain reflectivity through natural weathering and rain washing without manual cleaning requirements.
Insulation Integration
Cool roof systems work best when combined with proper insulation that reduces heat transfer and moisture problems while maximizing energy efficiency across all weather conditions. We install high-R-value polyisocyanurate and XPS insulation boards that provide thermal barriers and structural support for membrane attachment and traffic loads. Proper insulation placement also prevents condensation problems that can reduce cool roof performance and cause structural damage over time in buildings with variable occupancy.
