Central Indiana experiences an average of 125 freeze-thaw cycles annually. Temperatures fluctuate across the freezing point multiple times per week from November through March. This constant expansion and contraction destroys single-ply membranes and causes fastener back-out in mechanically attached systems. Built-up roofing systems handle this stress through their monolithic construction. The continuous asphalt bond between plies prevents water from penetrating the assembly during thaw periods. When temperatures drop and freeze, the multi-ply system flexes as a unit instead of developing individual membrane tears. Indianapolis commercial buildings need this redundancy to survive decades of seasonal temperature extremes without catastrophic failure.
