Cold Storage & Low Temperature Roofing
Cold Storage Design Considerations
Cold storage roofing designs pose challenges in making sure air flow has the right places to go. Intrusion, exfiltration, and infiltration are factors to consider when designing a cold storage roofing system.
Our focus is your focus, maintaining low temperatures, protecting the vapor seal and preserving the integrity of the stored goods.
With over 5 million square feet of low temperature roofing systems installed, Royalty is your top contractor for ensuring your cold storage facility has the roof it needs to keep your products and workplace covered.
Vapor Barrier
Cold storage buildings need effective vapor barriers to control moisture infiltration. The roof’s vapor barrier helps prevent condensation and moisture buildup within the building, which can be detrimental to the stored goods. We guarantee all vapor barriers are well-sealed and properly installed to ensure the humidity levels are maintained and all stored items will be safe from damage
Insulation
Cold storage buildings require superior insulation to minimize heat transfer and maintain low temperatures inside. The roof insulation plays a crucial role in preventing heat gain from the outside and heat loss from the interior. The insulation material we use is thicker and has higher insulating properties than standard roofing insulation to account for thermal movement.
Roof Membrane
The roofing membrane used in cold storage buildings is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and provide excellent resistance to thermal cycling. Single-ply roofing membrane is the top choice for cold storage roofing because this roofing material is easy to install while being watertight and it serves as an excellent vapor barrier.
Drainage Systems
Effective roof drainage is critical to prevent water pooling or ice buildup on the roof surface. For every cold storage building, we make sure there is an enhanced drainage system in place to ensure proper water flow to minimize the risk ice dams pose to the integrity of your roof.
