What are the advantages of a commercial flat roof?
The new year calls for a well-overdue new flat roof for your commercial building. A flat roof is made from different materials depending on the type you so choose. It is good to note that while they all have different advantages, the architecture behind it is made so that the commercial flat roofing system withstands better against angular/peaked structures.
More durable design and material
We all know that bad weather along with other heavy-duty material adds weight to a commercial roof. Have a tree fall, and you have got yourself a situation that could cost thousands. A flat roof on the other hand provides a lighter design and material plus a protective coat that makes any cracks obstruct for a better foundation. A majority of roofing professionals will tell you that the material you choose will ultimately reflect on how durable the roof will be. For commercial roofing, it is best to choose rubber-like textures, better known as asphalt BURs.
Protects against leakage
There is no guarantee that commercial roofing will never face a leakage problem. But it is good to know that installing a flat roof has many advantages when it comes to reducing leaking such as PVC material. Seams are also less of a problem when you install a flat roof as it eliminates any cracks from forming.
Customizable layers
You may think you’re missing something if you are getting a roof that’s not flat. Most sloped roofs are only used for design purposes. With a flat roof, you can choose the number of layers you want and the type of material as well. Roofers will usually build the flat roof switching the material back and forth between asphalt and fabrics so that it forms layers. This technique ensures for a strong and durable commercial roof as they top the final layer with gravel.
