Flat Roofing - The Good Stuff You Should Know

Last week I talked about some of the "myths" around flat roofing in a residential situation in particular.  This week I focus on the total positives of considering one...even for a home.

• Flat roofs create space at the top of your home. If you have a well-maintained flat roof it can prove to an effective roofing solution at an affordable price
• Having easy access to your roof is a big help when the time comes to clear out the rain gutters. A flat roof has little slope making access to the gutters easy and provide a quick opportunity to perform a visual maintenance check to determine if there are any problems
• Flat roofs are economically viable roofing solutions for any homeowner because they don’t require shingles or other decorative materials to be applied to the roofing system. A flat roofing solution is an uncomplicated roofing solution as opposed to shingles and damages can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of sloped roof.
• A flat roof can stand the test of time and is durable. Flat roofs have a shelf life of 30 years and are constructed with tar and gravel that will extend the life of a flat roofing system. A flat roof can stand up to nature’s ravages more effectively than a sloped roof.
• A flat roof offers more wind resistance than a sloped roof and that is important when high winds pick up and blow through your area. With an angled roofing system, shingles could be exposed to high winds that can cause shingles to lift and create repairs concerns.
• A flat roof can provide space for A/C vents and exhaust pipes. The symmetrical design of the flat roof also allows the flat roof to support heavy equipment – like an air conditioning unit – unlike sloped roofs
