The following roof coverings are commonly used for low-slope roofs in Ohio:
Single-Plys
Single-ply membranes are a popular choice for low-slope roofs because they are durable, easy to install, and energy-efficient. Some of the most popular single-ply membranes include TPO, PVC, and EPDM.
Pros
• Productive installation techniques.
• Moderately easy and inexpensive to repair.
• Better appearance compared to BUR and MB
• Available with a variety of cool coatings.
• Resistant to storm damage
MODIFIED BITUMEN (MOD-BIT)
Modified bitumen roofs are another popular choice for low-slope roofs. They are made from a mixture of asphalt and polymers, and they are very durable and resistant to the elements.
Pros
• Easily repaired and modified.
• Durable
• Cool Coatings exist as a surfacing option
• Capable of being added to a BUR in order to create a “Hybrid Roof”.
BUILT-UP ROOFS (BUR)
BUR roofs are the oldest type of low-slope roof, and they are still widely used today. They are made from multiple layers of asphalt and felt, and they are very durable and affordable.
Pros
• Proven History
• Relatively easy to repair
• Tough

COATINGS AND FOAMS
FLUID APPLIED COATINGS
Elastomeric Coatings are excellent in the proper situations but are rarely used as a primary source of moisture mitigation. They can provide a membrane that bonds to the structural concrete substrate for a vegetative roof. They may also be used to extend the lifetime of the system that is currently on the roof, if properly installed. Once cured, they create a monolithic membrane.
SPRAYED POLYURETHANE FOAM (SPF)
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is a very unique type of roof system and requires a skilled installer. Similar to Elastomeric Coatings, they are typically not used as a primary membrane. SPF is typically used as an alternative to removing and replacing the current roof system.
