Commercial flat roofing stands as the backbone for Edmonton’s warehouses, offices, and industrial buildings, delivering waterproof protection against our extreme freeze-thaw cycles and hail barrages. Investing in durable commercial flat roofing from Silverback Torch On Systems Ltd means fewer disruptions, lower long-term costs, and roofs that last 25-40 years.
Our COR-certified team specializes in torch-on modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and two-ply membranes—proven systems for Alberta’s tough climate. From new builds to commercial flat roof replacement, we handle it all with precision and Alberta pride.
Why Edmonton’s businesses need superior commercial flat roofing
Flat roofs cover 70% of Edmonton’s commercial properties, but poor installs lead to leaks, ponding, and downtime costing thousands daily. Quality commercial flat roof construction seals vulnerabilities, boosts energy efficiency (up to 20% savings via reflective TPO), and complies with strict building codes.
Key advantages:
- Seamless waterproofing resists ice dams and wind uplift.
- Low-slope design optimizes rooftop HVAC/solar setups.
- Fire-resistant ratings meet industrial safety standards.
- Customizable for high-traffic zones like loading docks.
Skip cheap fixes—our systems outperform in Edmonton’s -40°C winters and +30°C summers.
Torch-on systems: Edmonton’s gold standard for flat commercial roofing
Silverback Torch On Systems Ltd lives up to our name with torch-applied modified bitumen— the toughest choice for commercial flat roofs.
Why torch-on dominates:
- Multi-layer adhesion creates unbreakable bonds.
- Self-healing granules plug micro-punctures.
- 30-50 year lifespan with proper maintenance.
- Ideal for retrofits over old BUR (built-up roofs).
Paired with base sheets and cap layers, it’s hail-tough and code-compliant. Competitors can’t match our million+ sq ft installed.
TPO & EPDM: Versatile commercial flat roof options
Not all flats need torch-on. We tailor TPO (thermoplastic) and EPDM (rubber) for specific needs:
| System | Best For | Lifespan | Key Perk |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPO | Energy-efficient offices | 20-35 years | White reflective surface cuts cooling costs 15-25% |
| EPDM | Warehouses, low-slope | 25-40 years | Seamless black rubber, UV/ozone resistant |
| Torch-On Hybrid | High-wind industrial | 30-50 years | Combines heat-welded strength with membrane flexibility |
All fully adhered or mechanically fastened for zero callbacks.
