Commercial Roofing Insulation

Professional Commercial Roofing Insulation in the GTA

When a business doesn’t have an insulated roof, it risks poor ventilation, impaired equipment, and less than desirable working conditions. That said, a well-insulated roof is essential for maintaining the integrity of your business.

At Professional Roofers, we pride ourselves in using quality insulation materials that are durable and stand the test of time. Throughout our 20 years in the business, we’ve fostered long-lasting relationships with suppliers who provide us with quality materials at a fair price.

It is because of these relationships that we are able to provide affordable and effective commercial roofing insulation solutions. That said, we primarily use two types of insulation:

Blow In Insulation

What is Blow In Insulation

Blow in insulation is a combination of loose material that boasts a high R-value. R-value is a measurement that refers to a material’s ability to resist heat flow.

Also known as loose-fill insulation, this type of insulation is commonly composed of cellulose material. It is applied with a blower that sprays the material across a designated surface.

What is blow in insulation made of?

Blow in insulation made of cellulose material is comprised of 80% recycled paper fibre, and roughly 20% of fire retardant (either ammonium sulphate or boric acid). More often than not, this recycled paper fibre is comprised of newsprint waste. Before application, the insulation undergoes chemical treatment to make it resistant to fire and heat.

Ridge Board Insulation

What is rigid foam insulation?

Rigid foam insulation (also known as rigid board insulation) are rigid panels of insulation as the name indicates. They are durable and add structural strength to your commercial property. We use rigid foam boards for commercial roofing insulation because it has a high R-value and effectively insulates large surfaces.

What is rigid foam insulation made of?

Rigid board insulation is typically made of one of these three types of foam:

Expanded polystyrene: The cheapest foam ( R-value of 4)
Extruded polystyrene: Rigid pink or blue panels, available in straight and round edges (R-value of 5)
Polyisocyanurate: Foiled face, denser, more expensive foam, R-value of 6

Professionally Insulate Your Commercial Roof

Consider the many benefits of getting your commercial roof professionally insulated:
Energy Efficiency: Insulating your commercial roof improves its ability to resist heat. When your roof can withstand heat and keep the cold air in, you won’t have to overwork your commercial air conditioning system to cool the area and drain a lot of energy in the process.

Working Conditions: Insulation helps to maintain the integrity of your facility’s air quality, as it’s ventilation capabilities helps to limit air pollution and humidity. This results in healthy working conditions for employees.

Temperature Control: Extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, both make for uncomfortable working conditions and can take a toll on heavy machinery and other equipment needed for daily operations. With professional roofing insulation, you can better balance the temperature of your commercial space.

Noise Reduction: Commercial roofing insulation can have a great impact on the acoustics of your space, as insulation tends to absorb sound and prevent it from travelling. This is especially useful in commercial areas where heavy machinery is loud and consistently operating, or even in commercial buildings where offices require quiet and privacy.

Building Code: Most commercial spaces, buildings especially, have codes that need to be complied with based on thermal resistance (r-value). This is largely due to the role that insulation plays in indoor air quality, and resistance to elements like fire and moisture. We use quality insulation materials to ensure the system complies with any relevant codes or regulations.

Longer Lasting Roofing System: Professional insulation protects your roofing system from being compromised due to moisture or other external factors. It improves ventilation which, by extension, helps to maintain the integrity of the system.

From Adam with the initial quote and consultation, to Enrique and the other installers, to Leo with the final inspection, Professional Roofers is professional, courteous and gets the job done to the highest standards and quality. I highly recommend them.

The word "Professional" is accurate! I worked with Fernando to re-shingle my roof. From start to finish it was an excellent experience. He patiently answered all my questions and communication was great. The workers that came were very nice and professional. They worked hard, did a great job and cleaned up very well. I went to the office on Industry St. to pay for the job and it's a very professional space. It's a huge team they have there, this is not a fly by night company in the least. The office staff were kind and friendly. I made the right decision going with Professional Roofers.

I recently hired Professional roofers to handle a roofing project at my home, and I’m very satisfied with the results. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, the team was professional, punctual, and communicative.

They provided a clear, detailed quote and explained all the options available to me. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the site clean throughout the project. Most importantly, the quality of the work was excellent—the roof looks great.

I appreciate their transparency and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Professional roofers to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality roofing services.

After receiving several quotes for my eaves that left me with sticker shock I noticed a crew from Professional Roofers working on my street. The workers were friendly and gave me a company card. Checked with the neighbour and they were very satisfied with the completed job. The quote I received was more reasonable than the others and the clincher for me is that they don’t contract out, they only work with their in house crews. My finished eaves look great and the crew was pleasant, hardworking and addressed all my
Concerns. I highly recommend Professional Roofers. Ask for Patrick to arrange for your quote and property inspection, he’s professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Professional Roofers are amazing! Adam Witte, the estimator helped us out from start to finish. Not the typical pushy Sales person. Walked us through the whole process. Workers came on time and finished in a timely manner. They had a quality control manager Leandro Oliveira, that would come and check the job when it was finished. He made sure all my questions were answered. Dont go with the fly by night roofing companies. Would definitely recommend!

Ashlee Shutt

Our experience with Adam W. Was great. He is professional, diligent and great to work with. We have used him in the past too. Great experience. Will always use him and his crew in future.

Re: Cleaning of Eavestrough/Gutters & Repairs/Sealant - Great job!! 👍
We requested repairs for a fallen Downspout, sealant for dripping corners of eavestrough and cleaning of gutters (removal of debris)
We were quoted a fair price and are very pleased with the quality of work and thorough cleaning 👌 Leandro was a pleasure to deal with and his crew were competent and efficient!
We will definitely recommend Profesional Roofers and keep them in mind should we require new Eavestroughs or Roof replacement in future.
Thank you for great service!

Aziam Howes

Professional Roofers was excellent. Alfredo was a great communicator, their quote was the best, and the roof was completed on time. Cleanup was thorough, and they clearly explained each step. Highly professional!
