Flat Roofing Systems

Flat roofing systems offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and space utilization. They are ideal for installing HVAC systems, solar panels, or rooftop gardens. Additionally, flat roofs are energy-efficient, often reflecting sunlight to reduce cooling costs.

The lifespan of a flat roof depends on the materials used and the quality of installation and maintenance. On average, flat roofs can last between 20 to 30 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend their lifespan even further.

Common materials for flat roofing systems include TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and modified bitumen. Each material has its own benefits, such as durability, weather resistance, and energy efficiency. We can help you choose the best option for your needs.
