Flat Roof Systems

Did you know that roughly 40% of what you see of a house from the street is its roof? Yes. Since most houses have sloped roofs, many with steep slopes, too, there’s always a lot of roof staring back at you! But, some houses and most commercial structures have flat roofs. From the street, flat roofs are usually completely out of sight. Normally, the only time you get to see what’s going atop flat roof buildings is when you fly over them.  That’s when you see the expanse of often white roof coverings dotted with roof-mounted equipment and various roof components like pipe vents, skylights, utility boxes, etc. Unlike sloped roof homes in which HVAC equipment is somewhere inside the structure or on the ground beside the foundation, flat roofs accommodate such equipment safely and conveniently on top where it can be serviced via access to the roof, which is safe for technicians and commercial flat roofing contractors to walk on and work on.
