Roofing has evolved tremendously over the last thirty years, but still, there is no single system or technology that satisfies every situation. There are a lot of different variables to be considered before you select a roofing system, location, wind loading, building use, surroundings, exposure, foot traffic, heating/cooling requirements, and so on. Because of the complexities and consequences involved, you need to consult a roofing design professional before selecting which option is best.
