What is flat roofing?

There are three main types of flat roofing systems: membrane roofing, asphalt roll roofing, and built-up roofs. Each type has its own unique benefits that should be considered when selecting a roofing system for a commercial or residential building.


Membrane Roofing: Membrane roofing is composed of a single layer of material that is applied over the structural deck of the roof. It is available in both sheet and liquid form, and can be made from several different materials including PVC, TPO & EPDM.


Asphalt Roll Roofing: Asphalt roll roofing is composed of asphalt-saturated organic felt that adheres to the structural deck of the roof. This type of flat roofing system is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, but it does not provide as much protection from the elements as more modern materials.


Built-up Roofs: Built-up roofs consist of multiple layers of asphalt and felts with a protective layer of gravel on top. This type of system offers superior protection from water and wind than other types of flat roofing systems, but it requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity.

Why choose flat roofing?

When it comes to flat roofing, there are many reasons to choose this system for your home or business. Flat roofs are less expensive than pitched roofs, and they’re easier to maintain and repair. They’re also better at handling heavy loads, which is why they’re often used in commercial applications.

If you’re looking for a roofing system that’s both durable and cost-effective, flat roofing is the way to go.

How long does flat roofing last?

Flat roofs are one of the most popular roofing systems for commercial and industrial buildings. They are also commonly used on homes in warm weather climates. While they have many benefits, one of the most common questions we get is “how long does flat roofing last?”

The answer to that question depends on a number of factors, including the type of roofing system, the quality of materials, the climate, and the maintenance schedule. For example, a built-up roof (BUR) system can last 20-30 years if it is properly maintained. However, if it is not maintained or if the wrong materials are used, it may only last 5-10 years.

There are a number of different types of flat roofs, each with its own lifespan. Here is a brief overview of some of the most common types:

– Built-up Roof (BUR): A BUR system consists of multiple layers of asphalt and gravel. It is one of the most durable types of flat roofs and can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance.

– Rubber Membrane: A rubber membrane roof is made from synthetic rubber or thermoplastic elastomeric material. It is a popular choice for commercial buildings because it is very strong and can last up to 30 years with proper maintenance.

– Metal Roof: Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular for both commercial and residential buildings. They are very durable and can last up to 50
