Choosing the right material depends on your budget, building needs, and climate. We guide you through options to help you pick the best one for your situation.
Custom Design Solutions
Each roof we install is designed to fit the specific structure and purpose of the building. We consider factors like drainage, load capacity, and future usage (like rooftop equipment or seating areas).
Our design process includes detailed measurements and simulations to avoid leaks and water pooling. We tailor insulation and ventilation to improve energy efficiency and comfort inside the building.
This custom approach helps prevent common flat roof problems and extends the roof’s life. We make sure your flat roof works well for your needs while matching your building's look.
Types of Flat Roofing Systems We Offer
We provide several types of flat roofing to meet different needs and budgets. Each system has unique materials and installation methods that affect durability, maintenance, and cost.
Single-Ply Membrane Roofing
Single-ply membranes are made from flexible sheets of synthetic materials like TPO, EPDM, or PVC. These sheets are laid across the roof and either mechanically fastened, glued, or ballasted. This option is lightweight and resists tears, punctures, and UV rays. It works well for roofs that need quick installation or repair. Single-ply roofing is also energy efficient, reflecting sunlight to keep buildings cooler.
Maintenance is straightforward because the seams are visible, making leaks easier to find. This roofing type suits commercial and residential flat roofs that need good durability without heavy materials.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen roofing includes layers of asphalt combined with modifiers to increase flexibility and waterproofing. It is usually installed in rolls that are torched down or adhered with special adhesives. This roofing system offers strong resistance to extreme weather and is less prone to cracking over time. It forms a thick, protective barrier well-suited for areas with frequent temperature changes.
Modified bitumen roofs typically require professional installation due to the heating process. They provide long-lasting protection and are ideal for buildings needing robust waterproofing.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing, or BUR, is a traditional flat roofing method using multiple layers of tar and gravel. These layers are applied in alternating hot bitumen and roofing felt mats to create a solid, heavy roof. BUR is known for its durability and fire resistance. The gravel on top shields the roof from the sun and physical damage. This system is sturdy but heavier than other options.
This type is preferred for buildings that demand strong, long-term roofing and where weight is not an issue. It requires expert installation and routine inspections to maintain its protective qualities.
Eco-Friendly Flat Roofing Options
We also offer eco-friendly flat roofing systems that help reduce energy use and environmental impact. These include green roofs, where plants grow on the roof surface, providing insulation and absorbing rainwater. Another option is cool roofing, which uses reflective materials to lower heat absorption. This lowers cooling costs in warm climates and reduces the urban heat island effect.
Eco-friendly roofs may involve higher initial costs but offer savings in energy bills and contribute to sustainability goals. They are suitable for clients focused on environmental responsibility and long-term savings.
Long-Term Benefits of Professional Flat Roof Installation
When we install flat roofs professionally, you get durability that saves money over time. A well-installed roof resists leaks and damage better, reducing the need for repairs.
Our team uses quality materials that last longer. This means your roof stays strong through harsh weather like rain, wind, and sun exposure. It helps keep your building safe and dry.
We also improve energy efficiency with proper installation. A flat roof can reflect heat and keep your space cooler, which lowers cooling costs. This benefit continues year after year.
Maintenance becomes easier too. With the right installation, inspections and repairs are simpler and less costly. You will also avoid problems caused by poor drainage or pooling water.
We focus on quality to give you dependable results. This helps protect your investment and keeps your building in good shape for years.
