What is Flat Roofing?

JL Home Improvements are experts in all aspects of roofing including Flat Roofing. Flat Roofing is a roofing method designed to be level or almost level. It is used on commercial buildings but can be adapted to residential homes. When being used for a residential property, it is usually in an urban neighbourhood where space is somewhat limited.

Flat roofs can be made from a range of materials depending on the requirements of the roof or the plans you have in mind. The main materials include felt, fibre-glass, and EPDM rubber. The choice is completely up to the customer/property owner.

More often than not, flat roofs require more maintenance than other forms of roofing, water can accumulate and form puddles or little pools. This is due to the flat surface not allowing any slant for the water to drain. If not properly managed, it can potentially cause some issues. JL Home Improvements offer inspections, cleaning and repairs (if necessary). We ensure that the lifespan of your roof is as long as possible whilst keeping the effectiveness as high as we can.

In some cases, when required, flat roofing systems can add insulation layers to improve energy efficiency as well as offer extra protection from moisture damage. Over a third of a house’s heat is lost through the roof, by insulating it, the heat remains in the house.

The materials that can be used to make flat roofs are durable in nature, especially asphalt, rubber, and metal. With the proper maintenance, these roofs can last for many years. Flat roofs are durable but it is recommended that they are not to be used in areas with heavy snowfall and frequent strong winds.
