3 Preferred Roofing Materials for Multifamily Properties
The primary source of revenue for multi family property investors is rental income from the
tenants. Naturally, any increase in rent means increase in revenue, or in other words, increase
in return on investment. It is possible to increase rent without losing the tenant when you
improve the property by making it user friendly. This is where professional multifamily
development companies come in the picture. They help in giving a competitive edge to
multifamily properties, by renovating or repairing the roofing system, redesigning the interiors,
and other similar revamps. In this brief post, we will look at three roofing materials that help
reduce energy bills of multifamily properties, thereby enhancing their profitability.
Solar or Photovoltaic Systems Though, a new trend in the roofing material market, solar or photovoltaic systems not only help
you keep the heat of the sun from entering the living space of the building, but also trap it for
further use. By capturing the solar energy, these systems convert the heat into electricity that
you may use for other purposes. Available in traditional shapes and sizes, they provide a better
curb appeal than older and bulkier rooftop panels.
EPDM or Rubber Membrane Roofing A type of thermoplastic covering, rubber roofing is one of the most preferred materials used by
most commercial builders. Known for its capability to deter wear and tear for long, this
technologically advanced material consists of weather-resistant thermoplastic or a synthetic
rubber that is strong, and available in rolls or sheets in the market. When used with white-cool
reflective coating, they are weather- and wear-resistant to a good extent.
Terra Cotta and Clay This roofing material has been used for long in many parts of America, Spain, Mexico and Italy.
The light color of terracotta and clay tiles helps the roofing system inhibit any kind of heat, and
keeps the living spaces beneath it cool and comfortable. Contemporary terracotta and clay tiles
not only provide an expensive look to your property, but also come with reflective and
waterproofing capabilities.
Conclusion As builders look for more and more innovative ways to make their multifamily properties user-
friendly, and load them with latest amenities, construction companies are coming up with
newer roofing materials to help them. Among other efficient roofing materials, include white
metal roofing, white flat tiles, green or living roofs, slate tiles, and many more. While there is no
shortage in the availability of roofing materials, finding the a professional, yet, affordable
multifamily development company providing renovation services might not be easy.
Consequently, you need to do a good research before selecting a roofing service provider.
