What are the advantages and disadvantages of a flat roof?

Generally speaking flat roofs have a long lifespan. Flat roofs are also less expensive than other types of roofing systems such as tile or asphalt shingles. The main problem flat roofs experience is water leaks. Water will not run off the surface area like it does from sloped roof lines. This can lead to pooling and in some rare cases flooding inside your home or business. The topography may also cause mold growth which is why regular maintenance is essential for flat roofs.

Flat roofs can be more solar panel friendly . Flat roofs offer a larger surface area to place solar panels. Solar panel placement cannot be too close to the roof edge as this will limit efficiency with angle limitations of how you can orientate the panels for maximum sunlight exposure. If you are considering installing solar panels on your new flat roof or replacing an old one make sure that the manufacturer is aware of any pooling issues in case they recommend thicker glass or lines on their work which could improve performance and longevity.

More space to place large HVAC units can be advantageous in some homes, though it can be tricky to design a heating/cooling for a home so the HVAC unit is not exposed to direct sunlight. Also larger units may become obsolete faster if forced to use more expensive and less efficient technology. With the HVAC unit of your home being an expensive component to repair. This is something to consider.

If a determining factor is curb appeal and style then a flat roof may not be the best choice for your home. Generally speaking flat roofs tend to be less aesthetically pleasing. On the contrary, a more traditional pitched roof style is more visually appealing. This can be advantageous in resale value or even curb appeal depending on where you live. If your home was built with a pitched roof, it’s probably best to stick with that.

When making this decision take into account what you are most concerned about and if aesthetics play an important role in your buying decisions. The pitch of your home’s roof will directly affect many other aspects of the design such as curb appeal and interior comfort so make sure you’re aware of all these implications before finalizing any decisions regarding whether to keep the current roof style or change it out for something new.

What are the best materials to use for a flat roof?

PVC roofing is our go to choice for flat roofs. It is durable, attractive and affordable. Unlike other flat roofing materials, it doesn’t need to be watertight or puncture proof.

PVC is by far the most popular material for flat roofs as it is easy and cheap to install. This can be a problem though because many manufacturers will cut corners in order to keep their prices low which causes inferior products that may not last nearly as long as they claim they would otherwise.

The second best option for a flat roof is EPDM synthetic rubber . While slightly more expensive than PVC, this material does have an increased longevity. Have some really nice features that other products don’t have such as a decreased heat buildup and lower UV resistance.

EPDM is also used to create rubber membranes for roofs that are under extreme weather conditions or need extra protection against punctures and scratches from sharp objects such as rocks that may be on the roof or in the nearby vicinity of the building.

This rubber material has great sound dampening abilities which makes it perfect for those flat roofs near busy highways, airports, train tracks etc… There are many companies out there nowadays that offer membranes with EPDM material so this means they can be found at affordable prices. Many homeowners decide to go with this option for their flat roof instead of choosing PVC or TPO because they want something more lasting and reliable especially when the home is located in an area with huge climates swings.
