Commercial Roofing Solutions for Data Centers

Data centers are the engines behind modern life, powering everything from cloud computing to AI innovation. Protecting these facilities starts from the top down. Elevate™commercial roofing systems deliver the proven performance, sustainability, long-term durability needed to safeguard your mission-critical operations—today and into the future.

Elevate roofing solutions are designed to provide the right performance to meet your data center specifications.

The demand for data centers is rapidly accelerating—driven by cloud computing, AI, and the ever-growing need for secure data storage. As more mission-critical facilities come online and existing infrastructure expands, the need for reliable, high-performance roofing systems has never been greater.

Elevate commercial roofing systems delivers proven, high-quality solutions that meet the unique demands of data centers, with a focus on speed of installation, sustainability, and long-term performance.

Engineered for Mission-Critical Data Center Demands

Durability & Resilience – Our comprehensive portfolio of roofing systems, including PVC, Asphalt, TPO, EPDM, and Metal, offers the performance attributes needed for your data center project. For over 45 years, Elevate roofing systems have provided exceptional durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions, supporting uninterrupted operation in even the toughest conditions.
Energy Efficiency – Pairing a highly reflective Elevate roof membrane with Elevate ISOGARD™ polyiso insulation creates a high-performing system designed to regulate building temperatures year-round. ISOGARD also provides the highest R-value per inch in colder mean temperatures, offering up to 40% better thermal performance than competing polyiso brands*. This full system integration helps reduce heat absorption during warmer months while minimizing heat loss in colder conditions, helping to lower energy demands and better supporting temperature-controlled environments.
High-Quality, Time-Saving Systems – Elevate offers a variety of commercial roofing solutions engineered to enable improved installation efficiency and help reduce project timelines, without compromising performance. One standout example is our Elevate self-adhered (SA) portfolio. These systems allow for faster, cleaner installs by eliminating the need for adhesives, and because they contain no VOCs, buildings can remain open and operational during installation. With installation performed by our licensed Red Shield™ contractors—who have collectively installed over 200 million warranted square feet of SA systems in the past 10 years—you can count on consistent, high-quality results every time.

Sustainability That Performs

At Elevate, sustainability isn’t an add-on—it’s built into everything we do from our products to our manufacturing processes. Our roofing systems are designed to help reduce environmental impact while contributing to green building certifications, as well as meeting stringent state/provincial and federal requirements.

Going Beyond the Standard with Plant-Specific EPDs

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a key requirement in many green building certification programs like LEED®, Green Globes®, and the Living Building Challenge®, as well as state/provincial and federal projects. While many manufacturers rely on industry EPDs, Elevate produces detailed, plant-specific EPDs for our roofing systems. This means more precise, transparent environmental data—helping your project qualify for more certification points and meet stricter regulatory requirements.

Cool Roof Membranes

Elevate offers highly reflective roofing membranes to support cool roof initiatives, helping to lower building energy use, reduce the urban heat island effect, and improve indoor comfort and temperature regulation. Many of our reflective roofing options qualify for LEED credits with the U.S. Green Building Council, Canada Green Building Council, and also meet California Title 24 Energy Efficiency Building Standards.

Recyclable Roofing Materials & Waste Reduction Initiatives

Many of our roofing membranes, metal roofing systems and components, and system accessories are recyclable at the end of their life cycle. We also actively support recycling initiatives to reduce construction waste and support circular building practices.
