- Built-up roofs – these systems are built from alternated layers of tar or modified bitumen and mineral granules or gravel. They are cheap and durable solutions, but they are somewhat difficult to maintain because the topmost layer of these roofs is gravel or granule;
- Metal roofs – one of the most common and most traditional types of commercial roofing, metal roofs are durable, strong and affordable, but they require regular maintenance to be able to perform properly;
