Industrial Roofing in Smelter Country: Trail and the West Kootenays.
Industrial buildings in smelter country need roofs that work for a living. Heavy snow sits on big flat decks for months. Smelter-country air is hard on metal, and we spec for it. And the work underneath the roof can’t stop while we’re on top of it.
Trail Roofing specs roofing systems for that exposure: torch-on, TPO, and PVC membranes on the flat decks, steel where the pitch allows it, and detail metal: flashing, drains, vents, caps, formed in our own Trail shop so it fits the building instead of almost fitting it.
Built for the conditions
Corrosive air shortens the life of cheap metal, so we spec for the valley the building sits in, not for a brochure climate. Heavy snow loads decide the details: how drains are placed, how seams run, where the water goes in March. A roof that ignores either one doesn’t last the way it should.
How we work on a working site
That’s how we plan an industrial job. We stage the work around your operation, follow your site rules, and leave the deck watertight at the end of every day. A half-finished roof over running equipment is not a place for surprises. Tell us what can’t stop and we’ll build the schedule around it. You get a written quote before we start. Our five-year written workmanship warranty is stated on your estimate.
