Benefits Of A Flat Roof

​

There are many benefits for installing a new or replacing an old flat roof. There are good reasons for why they are one of the most popular systems in the UK.

• Cost Effectiveness – typically a flat roof takes less time to install and require less materials than a pitched roof. As a result this will mean it costs less to install or replace. Of course this depends entirely on the area size, materials uses, application techniques, commercial vs domestic, and various other factors.

• Flexibility – easy to install on most roof types and sizes helping to cope with the natural contraction and expansion of building movements.

• Durability – with the right material / system chosen you can expect to find a flat roof to be very durable, long lasting and offer protection against harmful UV rays.

• Little Maintenance – similarly to the above point, depending on the system, you can expect hardly any maintenance once post flat roof installation. Please note that this depends on the quality of whoever installed the flat roof. Later in this article we’ll show you how to choose a reputable flat roofer to avoid the potential cost associated risk of losing money hiring a poor contractor to construct your flat roof.

• Additional Living Space – you can even use a flat roof to add an additional space to your home or commercial building (depending on the system). For example, eco friendly green roofs give ultimate versatility by allowing the owner to have a rooftop patio, garden and pathways with real-life vegetation.
