Slate Tile or Tile Roofing:
If you want superior aesthetics for your home, choose clay or concrete roof tile. The numerous styles, hundreds of colors, and variety of finishes available with roof tile allow you to create a roof to suit virtually any architectural style or one that is entirely unique.
Clay roof tile has been used for centuries worldwide. Both clay roof tile and its modern partner, concrete, are beautiful and extremely durable. Tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years or more. They do not rot in wet climates and are not susceptible to destruction by pests. They can be used in any climate or region and can withstand the most severe weather conditions, including fire and wind. Most roof tile manufacturers offer warranties of at least 50 years.
Roof tiles are energy efficient: because of the superior thermal capacity of roof tiles and the ventilated air space that their placement on the roof surface creates, a tile roof can lower air conditioning costs in hotter climates and produce more constant temperatures in colder weather.
Composite Asphalt Shingles:
Asphalt shingles come in two forms: organic and fiberglass (also known as glass fiber). Organic asphalt shingles have a paper mat or backing with a layer of asphalt added on top. Fiberglass asphalt shingles contain a mat made of fiberglass with a layer of asphalt added on top.Composition shingles are made from materials such as asphalt or asbestos, tar paper, slate, shake, laminate and wood. The combination of these ingredients improves the shingle’s strength.
Asphalt shingles can carry warranties ranging from five to 20 years, depending on the shingle’s strength rating. Composite shingles, however, are usually warranted for 30 to 50 years. Mitchell Roofing specializes in the installation of Owens Corning Duration ™ shingles, which carry a lifetime warranty, and warranties its own lifetime labor warranty.
Asphalt shingles may be made with granules containing leachable copper. This helps to resist algae growth. Composite shingles have algae and moss inhibitors and can also be coated to protect against ultraviolet light. This reduces weathering from the sun that can cause the fading and cracking. Composition shingles are also available in almost any color and size. They can include faux finishes such as slate and shake. Composite shingles are the least expensive option, compared to metal, tile and slate roofs.
Modified Roof Systems:
Modified roof systems are asphalt based and provide superior waterproofing characteristics. The typical life span for these systems is about 10 to 20 years. Modified Bitumen roofs are usually installed as a two ply system and are always fully adhered. These roof systems are made up of asphalt that has been modified with a polymer to create plastic or rubber like properties. The modifiers provide increased resistance to brittleness, cold temperatures and increased elasticity and strength.
The most common modifiers are APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene).
Metal Roofing:
Metal roofing provides outstanding durability, design flexibility and low lifecycle costs. Many commercial building owners select metal roofing for a portion of, or the entire roofing assembly for banks, schools, restaurants, warehouses, distribution centers, and office buildings. Metal roofs offer ultra-performance in water conditions and resist hail, decay, discoloration and mildew.
Metal roofing and wall panels are a low maintenance solution that provides commercial grade performance while still enhancing the aesthetics of the building.
Standing seam metal roofs can be insulated with a radiant barrier effect, using fiberglass and foam block to reduce energy costs and noise.
TPO Roofing:
Reducing energy consumption is a top priority for businesses in Dallas\Ft. Worth and throughout Texas. The corrosive environment of heat, hail, wind and strong storms requires expert installation and quality materials. Thermoplastic-olephine roofing, or TPO, is an excellent option to make your roof more efficient and help reduce your energy bills.
TPO roofing material is designed to reflect the sun’s rays, limiting the amount of exterior heat that permeates the building, and reducing air conditioning costs. As an added benefit, TPO is made from recycled plastic, waterproof and environmentally friendly.
One of the factors that makes TPO roofing attractive both in commercial construction is its reasonable cost. TPO offers many of the same benefits as PVC roofing, such as hot-air weldable seams and energy efficiency, but at a lower cost.
Many building owners appreciate the fact that TPO is manufactured to look great on many different types of buildings. TPO is available in white, light grey and black reflective color options. Owners no longer need to install a white roof to enjoy energy saving and reflective properties. Latest technologies enable all colors of TPO roofing membranes to be UV resistant and “cool”.
In comparison to other thermoplastic membranes, TPO resists mold growth, dirt accumulation, tears, impact damage and punctures. It is made to be flexible and can allow for a building’s movement or settling. Reinforced TPO membranes can handle a building’s thermal expansion and contraction more effectively than other single ply roofing products.
In general, TPO membranes are manufactured with wider sheets and are light weight. This means that the material is easier to install and there are less seams. Less work and time associated with the installation translates into direct savings for you for the cost of installation.
In Dallas\Ft. Worth’s storm susceptible environment, TPO can prevent the loss of the roof because wind cannot lift it off the structure. Commercial owners in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Denton, Garland, Arlington, Plano, Corpus Christi, Portland, Rockport, Port Aransas, Ingleside, and many more cities in Tarrant, Parker, Wise, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Kaufman, Rockwall, Nueces, Aransas and San Patricio Counties choose TPO.
