The most commonly used material for flat or slightly sloped commercial roofing construction is flexible (single-ply) membrane roofing.

The emergence of sustainable initiatives has resulted in a growing trend in its use, particularly white, reflective membrane roofing. BUR (built-up roofing), SBS (styrene butadiene styrene), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) are acronyms used by the commercial roofing industry to describe common types of membrane roofing.
