Commercial Roofs: Steep Slope Roofing Systems

Steep Slope roofing typically refers to roofing materials suitable for roofs that have slopes of 3:12 or greater.
The slope of your roof will affect the materials used for covering the roof and the effort involved.
Steeper roof pitches will likely require staging to ensure the crew’s safety, and that materials don’t slide during construction.
Steep Slope roofs are available in a variety of coverings including:
- Asphalt Composition Roll
- Fiberglass 3-Tab Shingle
- Fiberglass Laminate (Architectural) Shingle
- Specialty Asphalt Shingles
- Wood Shakes and Shingles
- Clay and Concrete Tile
- Slate

Benefits

Despite their lightweight nature, Steep Slope roofing systems can withstand extreme temperatures and heavy winds.
Many of the products used for a steep slope roof are made with recyclable materials, including metal and wood shakes.
In some cases, owners of buildings with these steep slope roofs can receive credit from LEED or other green building programs.
