Here’s a quick overview of the key aspects of flat roofs.
What is flat roofing?
Everyone knows what a flat roof looks like. What makes flat roofs different from traditional pitched roofs is the materials used to construct them. There are three main types of flat roofing including:
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) – a single-ply, white membrane used in residential and commercial roofing.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – Also a single-ply, white membrane used in residential and commercial roofing.
Ethylene propylene diene terpolymner (EPDM) – is a synthetic rubber black membrane commonly used in commercial and medical facilities.
What are the benefits of a flat roof?
Flat roofs used in residential construction save money because materials are less expensive because flat roofs take up less space they don’t require as much time or material to complete. A flat roof allows you to optimize the angles to get the most out of the sun and maximize the output of the panels. A popular use of a flat roof is to convert it into additional outdoor space for anything from setting up a barbeque to cultivating a rooftop garden.
Is a flat roof the right choice for my home?
Installing a flat roof is economical because it can be completed quickly and material costs are lower than a pitched roof. Despite their unwarranted reputation for maintenance issues, if a flat roof is installed correctly and gets regular maintenance and inspections it’s just as reliable as a pitched roof.
