Houses are a lifelong commitment, considering the amount of investment they need. It’s obvious that you want to ensure that each and every part of your house is built with perfection. And roofs are one of the most important structures of your home. After all, whether it’s a heavy downpour or a storm, it’s the roof that will keep you protected.
However, with increasing development, the number of options that you have while building your house has become countless. Even when it comes to your roof, your builder might ask you to choose between a flat roof and a pitched roof. While angular pitch roofs are pretty common, you might not have substantial information about flat roofs. Hence, before you finalize your house’s plan, it is important to know everything about roofs.
We’re your number one choice for flat roofing.
When it comes to flat roofs, you might be faced with the situation of choosing one among the various types available.
This is undoubtedly one of the oldest types of flat roofs. Built with a combination of tar, asphalt, and gravel, it is long-lasting and resistant to weather attacks. This kind of roof is built with layers of waterproof material that are alternated with tar and ballasted with an even layer of gravel.
If you are planning to opt for a built-up roof, it is recommended to get it installed before you move into the house. The installation process is messy as well as stinky which makes it unsuitable for occupied houses. Apart from being long-lasting, built-up roofs are also affordable in comparison to the other options.
Ethylene propylene diene monomer roofs are best suited for buildings meant for commercial use. As the name suggests, these kinds of roofs are made from a combination of ethylene propylene and diene, which makes the material super flexible yet durable. Although it costs higher than its alternative, it is resistant to the wear and tear caused by weather changes. Being lightweight it is also easier to install the roof even if the building or the house is already occupied.
Its flexible structure enables it to fit over a variety of building designs. However, owing to the composition of the material, it is prone to punctures and damage. But that is hardly a major concern as leaks and damages are extremely easy to repair in an EPDM roof.
Modified bitumen is another common type of flat roof made for low-sloped buildings. These roofs consist of polymer modified bitumen material that has been strengthened with a few layers of fabrics There are a number of ways to install these roofs which include cold applied, heat applied, self-adhered, or even mechanically fastened.
If you are planning to opt for a torch-down application to install the roof then ensure that the building is not occupied. There can be chances of fire accidents in case adequate precaution is not taken.
It also has a light-colored mineral layer that helps in reflecting sun rays. This ensures that the temperature of your rooms does not rise beyond bearable limits and helps you save on your electricity bill. The only disadvantage with this kind of roofing is that it’s not as pure and damage-resistant as EPDM roofs.
