Cold Storage
The right roofing partner can help you achieve the most vital goals of your cold storage facility.
Why choose GAF for your cold storage facility?
Protect Stored Goods
Proper roof design, including selection of reflective membranes and insulation, can help maintain desired interior temperatures.
Safeguard Operations
Proper roof design and installation can help prevent unsafe interior conditions such as condensation, which can cause ice to form on the floor.
Reduce Energy Use
The proper roofing attachment method can help save energy over the lifetime of the roof system.*
*Energy savings are not guaranteed and the amount of savings may vary based on climate zone, utility rates, radiative properties of roofing products, insulation levels, HVAC equipment efficiency and other factors.
Design a GAF system to fit your needs
Work with GAF designers, using GAF products, to design a system that maintains cold interior temperatures while saving energy.* GAF cold storage roof systems incorporate key components, including insulation, cover board, edge metal, and membrane.
