Thermal cycling does the damage in Mission Bay — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Mission Bay roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. A light-coloured covering in Mission Bay measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets.

4Choosing a Covering in Mission Bay

TPO and modified bitumen both work on Mission Bay low-slope roofs, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Mixing materials across a Mission Bay roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly. Underlayment choice counts more than covering choice on a Mission Bay tile roof, given that that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Mission Bay and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Silicone coatings hold up well on Mission Bay roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Mission Bay heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
