Different Types of Flat Roofing

There are five major types of flat roofs including metal, EPDM, built-up, modified bitumen, and TPO Roofs

• Metal flat roofs: These are the most common and are typically made of metal panels (standing seam, locking rib, etc), which makes them exceptionally durable. This material lasts more than thirty years and reflects heat, making it an energy efficient option.
• EPDM: Also called, ethylene propylene diene monomer, flat roofs are just a fancy way to say that these roofs are made from a synthetic blend of rubber. Most often used for large office spaces, it’s a durable and affordable option for flat roofing. EPDM flat roofs are easy to install, but sometimes prone to leakages. 
• Built-up flat roofs: BUR roofs are a mixture of tar and gravel. This option has become popular because they’re aesthetically pleasing, they make your home more energy efficient, and they are quite durable thanks to the many layers. There are some downsides though. The layers of built-up flat roofing can make it very heavy, so your home will need a thorough evaluation to be sure the structure can bear the weight. Plus, the installation process creates a hazardous area so you won’t be able to live in your house during the renovation.
• Modified bitumen: Flat roofs are an affordable option often used in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. This type of roofing can be applied cold or with a blow torch. If you’re willing to go for it, it’s a great budget-friendly option.
• TPO Roofs: TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is one of the most sought-after options for roofing. The single-ply membrane is used on flat roofing systems, making it a popular roofing option for large, industrial structures. TPO’s long-lasting nature together with its affordability make it top choice for industrial roofing in Dallas and Fort Worth

Reasons to Install Flat Roofing

One of the main reasons people opt for flat roofing even though it’s not very common is because of just that – it’s not very common. You’ve probably seen celebrity-designed homes with modern floor to ceiling windows and a sleek flat rooftop. Those are the types of unique properties that will benefit from a durable flat roof.

Another reason people might choose flat roofing is that it’s energy efficient. Due to their large surface area, they’re an excellent option for those wishing to capture solar energy to power their home, and many of these roofing options reflect heat to keep your energy costs low.
