Flat Roof

Flat roofs are the most common and ancient design of roofing. From thousands of years. There are many types of flat roofs which are available in the market. The materials of a flat roof involved tin, lead, cement and brick, galvanised, asphalt and many more. If you have a flat roof then you might need to read this. A flat roof comes in many sizes of course with a flat surface. Have a look at the list of flat roofs, for example- long run colour steel metal roof, asphalt roof, thermoset shingle ply membrane roofs, glass reinforced plastic or fibreglass roof, painted or liquid roofs. Before you decide which one to go for let’s have a look into this below list of benefits.

Advantages of the flat roofs are as follows-

∙        Comparatively much affordable- Yes, you heard it right. Flat roofs are easy to build and less risky. And as the materials are widely available hence building a flat roof is much affordable and also safe.

∙        A good space of storage- Here comes an extra and absolutely utilisable advantage. We all can face a certain requirement of storage. A flat roof can be not only specious but also a very good corner of extra storage that a sloped roof cannot give you.

∙        Easy maintenance and safety- When it comes to maintaining your roof, flat roofs are much easier and safe to climb and check the issues and also can be solved without any risk, where a sloped roof is much riskier as it includes a good height. Though the professionals are aware of everything, still for regular people it is reachable.

There are some drawbacks as well if we see just like other roof types. Nothing can be free from drawbacks and hence it is very difficult to pick the right one. Though let’s have an eye on them-

∙        Flat roofs have less insulation thus temperature difference increases like; extreme cold or hot.

∙        Due to extra storage the excess weight can damage the roof.

∙        Due to the flat surface, the water drainage is stagnant.
