Flat roofs can provide a number of benefits including increased space and energy savings. Often found on modern buildings, the larger surface area of flat roofs makes them ideal for solar panels, roof decks, and gardens.
Flat roofs can be “cool roofs” and constructed with light-colored materials to increase heat resistance and provide energy savings. There are also a wide variety of materials available to waterproof and protect single and multi-ply flat roofs which can help to ensure that they remain damage-free despite the elements.
With proper maintenance, a flat roof can add value and additional space to a home or commercial property.
