Commercial Roofing: The Advantages of a Flat Roof System

10/10/2018 with 0 Comment

Of all the various kinds of roofs used for residential and commercial roofing, the most popular type is the flat roof system. Flat roofing, with its water and weather-proof membrane, is commonly installed in large buildings for the practical benefits it possesses.

Why Choose Flat Roofs

Flat roof systems offer several benefits when compared to other roofing styles, including the following:

  • Less Expensive
    Flat roofing systems are economical, especially when compared to a pitched roof, and can help you save money upfront.
  • Additional Space for Various Activities
    Installing a flat roof will provide you with extra space for a variety of purposes. Here are a few ideas to use the additional space properly:

    • Rooftop Garden – In addition to enhancing the aesthetics of the building, having a rooftop garden is beneficial in the form of maintaining a refreshing atmosphere and reducing stormwater runoff.
    • Space for Relaxing – If you need a separate place for relaxing and lounging, a flat roof can meet this need by incorporating some seating, tables, and greenery. Employees can use it to get fresh air, or as a place to have coffee and lunch breaks when the weather is nice.
  • Allocated Space for HVAC Units
    It is quite common for an HVAC unit to get damaged by nearby equipment, surrounding trees, and people when you place it on the ground. Keeping it on the roof is a wise decision because it provides security and protects it from harm. To install the units correctly, you must hire roofing contractors. They will examine the roof structure to verify its strength and capacity. This can help you avoid the problems of puddling, low spots and leaks due to improper installation of the roof.
  • Faster Installation
    Flat roof systems, in general, require less installation time because they require less equipment, labour, and materials. In addition to this, they also result in fewer disruptions because you do not have to stop your activities temporarily.
  • Installation of Solar Panel
    When it comes to installing solar panels for saving energy, flat roofs are the best option among the other roof types. It will enable you to optimize the right angles for solar panels and help you get the most out of your investment.
  • Easy to Repair
    It is quite easy to fix any component of a flat roof. The minimal slope of the roof not only makes it effortless to navigate but also makes repair work comfortable and safe, reducing the chances of any mishaps.

Hire Professionals for Residential & Commercial Flat Roofing

There are three popular types of flat roof systems which are as follows:

  • Built-Up Roof (BUR)
  • Modified Bitumen
  • Single-ply Roofing (EPDM, PVC or TPO)
