Ways that the sun and heat can damage your roof include:
    Cracking, curling, and warping of shingles or tiles
    Decay and degradation of roofing materials
    Damage to roof coatings

    Bleaching and other aesthetic damage
Your roof can also be damaged by the fluctuating temperatures in the early days of summer and later, as summer transitions into fall. In response to the high heat during the day, your roof expands. When the sun goes down and temperatures drop dramatically your roof contracts. These fast temperature changes can weaken the integrity of your roofing materials and cause cracks and warping of your shingles.

Torch down roofing
Torch down roofing is designed for all climates, expanding under heat and contracting under cold conditions without melting or cracking as other material might. It’s this ability that gives torch roofs their long life span. The cap sheet on a torch down roofing system has other excellent properties, including resistance to UV rays and reflectivity to keep the building cool and energy efficient. Water resistant torch down roofing is an excellent choice in snowy environments.
