A flat roof for a residence is a type of roof that is, as the name suggests, flat or nearly flat, with a slight slope to allow for drainage. Flat roofs are typically found on modern or contemporary-style homes, although they can be found on homes of any architectural style.
Flat roofs can provide a clean and modern look to a home and create additional usable outdoor living space or a platform for rooftop gardens.
Flat roofs are constructed using a waterproof membrane, typically made of rubber, PVC, or modified bitumen, which is installed over a flat deck of insulation and structural support.
Flat roofs have several advantages over sloped roofs, including:
Space utilization: Flat roofs can provide additional usable outdoor living space or a platform for rooftop gardens.
Energy efficiency: Flat roofs can provide more insulation and reduce the amount of heat transferred into the home, helping to reduce energy costs.
Cost-effectiveness: Flat roofs can be less expensive to install and maintain than sloped roofs.
Aesthetic appeal: Flat roofs can provide a clean and modern look to a home.
