Why Choose Taylor Roofing?
Flat Roofs Explained
A building’s structure determines the type of roof it needs, whether that be sloped or flat. Property owners often choose flat roofs to increase square footage when a building or home needs additional space, such as in an urban area. Despite the name, flat roofs have a slight gradient to allow for water drainage, making them a popular choice in cities with low rainfall where dramatically sloping roofs aren’t necessary. Flat roofing in Ottawa is standard in commercial construction, including maintenance spaces, patios, and even rooftop gardens.
About Flat Roof Systems
Flat roof systems are affordable solutions for both commercial and industrial structures. The different categories of flat roofs you can choose from are as follows:
Built-up roofing (BUR): The oldest and most popular type of flat roofing, a BUR system consists of a base sheet layer, several ply sheet layers, and a final cap sheet layer for maximum durability against the elements.
Foam: Our technicians apply a special spray foam for this flat roof system before covering it with a silicone coating as insulation. Foam is particularly beneficial for irregular roofs because it can adapt to any configuration while maintaining a tight, waterproof seal.
Liquid-applied: This resinous coating is popular for sealing roofs and other roofing substrates. Polyurethane and silicon are the standard coatings for liquid-applied roofs. Their durability simplifies the roof repair process.
Modified bitumen: Modified bitumen, or “mod bit” for short, consists of rubberized asphalt. It comes in large, three-foot-wide sheets that we roll across the roof and affix with various adhesives. Mod bit roofing is excellent for areas that see a lot of traffic.
Single-ply: Many industry professionals will tell you that single-ply roofing is the most reliable option. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) membranes, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are common single-ply roofing materials. As the most trusted flat roofing system, single-ply doesn’t require heat welding installation methods and has fewer seams for exceptional waterproofing capability.
Re-Sloping Flat Roofs for Better Drainage
Proper drainage systems are necessary in any flat roof installation. As flat roof systems age, they begin to recess and sink, which is a common occurrence when a flat roof system has a wooden frame. When the water can’t properly drain, ponding occurs and leads to problems typical of standing water, such as mosquito infestations, land erosion, and building deterioration.
Roof re-sloping is an option for correcting a damaged flat roof system without the need for a full replacement. In this process, we slope the roof using tapered installation or wood purlins to correct the pitch and maintain structural integrity.
