Superior Roofing

January 4, 2021


Believe it or not, roof insulation for a commercial building can have a significant effect on roof performance. Winter is now upon us in Bakersfield, CA and this means we need to get our facilities ready for thermal expansion.

Thermal expansion is when cold or heat hits your roofing material "causing" the material to expand. On the flip side, excessive cold causes the roof "material" to contract.

Did you know that expansion and contraction are "responsible" for most roof leaks? This is why it's important to design a roof that "allows" movement in the roof structure.

Superior Roofing has strict criteria on the amount of insulation we suggest like:
- Location
- Roof deck components.
- County building codes
- Roof system category

We created this infographic for building owners and managers to understand how insulation can play a role in your roofing system...
