Construction, Inc. wants you to be fully aware of all of your options when it comes to roofing, and there are several advantages to be had with flat roofing. Schedule a consultation with us today to learn more if you’re thinking about getting a new roof.
The Advantages of a Flat Roof
Just like there are several different roofing materials for you to choose from, there are also several different roofing types. We’re a roofing company that’s experienced in helping our customers find the perfect roof at the perfect price. Benefits of choosing a flat roof include:
- They’re easy to climb onto and inspect.
- They offer more horizontal surface and stability.
- Compared to sloped roofs, they are less expensive to install and recoat.
Flat roofs require specialized maintenance to prevent ponding. If you’ve noticed water sitting on your roof, contact us for flat roof repairs immediately.
One thing to keep in mind with opting for a flat roof for your home is that it will need to be sealed and recoated every few years in order to help ensure it remains as stable, strong, and leak-proof as possible. Our expert roofing contractors are here to provide you with additional information and the advantages of flat roofs.
High-Performance Materials for Flat & Low-Slope Roofs
Unlike traditional sloped roofs that use gravity to shed water, flat roofs require specialized membranes to create a watertight seal. We offer several industry-leading options tailored to the Delmarva climate:
- EPDM (Rubber Roofing): Known for its extreme durability and resistance to UV radiation, EPDM is a top choice for residential flat roofs. It remains flexible in the winter and resists cracking over time.
- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A popular energy-efficient choice, TPO’s white surface reflects sunlight, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer. It is highly resistant to punctures and chemical exposure.
- Modified Bitumen: This “torch-down” or self-adhering multi-ply system provides a thick, rugged layer of protection that is ideal for high-traffic flat areas or balconies.
- PVC Roofing: Best for long-term waterproofing, PVC is naturally fire-resistant and holds up exceptionally well against the moisture and salt air common in our coastal service areas.
Not sure which material is right for your home? Our experts can help you compare these options alongside our standing seam metal roofing for low-slope applications.
