Flat Roofs
What is a flat roof?
A flat roof is made with a single layer or multiple layers of waterproof material laid at an angle. Halifax Crown Roofing – Halifax s premier flat roofers have years of experience in the industry and can offer you all types of services related to flat roofs.
Benefits of flat roofs
Flat roofs are perfect for commercial buildings because they provide excellent protection against precipitation, while their steep sloping design makes water runoff much more straightforward than on other rooftop structures. Besides being very protective, these roofs also cost less money than traditional pitched ones. They are used for unique construction materials such as timber beams or tiles, just the regular building supplies.
Types of flat roofs
EPDM rubber roof
The EPDM rubber roof is a very flexible and durable option with an elastic property. The material will last for many years without losing its form or becoming brittle.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen roofs are pretty popular choices because they combine the benefits of metal materials such as affordability, durability, and strength but also imitate the look of traditional asphalt shingles by having granules on top that provide additional protection from ultraviolet rays and other environmental factors which can damage them over time.
Built-up felt roof
The built-up roofs are usually made of three main components, including felts, asphalt-impregnated paper, and gravel rock, but there are also other combinations used by builders when constructing these types of flat roofs.
Single ply roof
Single-ply membrane is very popular nowadays due to its lightweight nature combined with strength and durability properties making it highly resistant against damage from heavyweight loads such as vehicles driving nearby, snow, and ice.
TPO-rubber roofs
TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin. This type of roofing material has a high resistance to heat, cold, and moisture, making it ideal in many climates because you will not have issues with snow or ice buildup on the surface that can cause problems later down the line.
