What Is a Commercial Flat Roof?
A commercial flat roof is a roof on a commercial property with a very low slope. Commercial flat roofing systems have a slope of approximately 10 degrees. It is an incredibly energy-efficient roofing system, especially in warm, dry climates. The surface of the roof can be used for an outdoor living space or outdoor garden, housing an HVAC system or water tank, or other unique purposes. Maintenance and service are also easier on a flat roof as the surface is easier to walk on.
What Are the Types of Commercial Flat Roofs?
- Built-Up Roofing Systems (BUR) – BUR is one of the oldest types of commercial flat roofing systems. The roofing system is made up of layers of asphalt and liquid tar that are built up to create as many as 12 layers. BUR systems are one of the least reflective and most eco-friendly roof systems.
- Metal Roofing Panel Systems – Metal roofing panels are typically used in industrial facilities, warehouses, and factories. This type of roof is made from metal panels that are sealed to prevent water from entering.
- Modified Bitumen Membranes – This roofing system became popular in the United States in the 1970s. It consists of a two-ply membrane constructed from reinforced fabric and covered with asphalt.
- Single-Ply Membranes – Single-ply roofing membranes refer to PVC, TPO, and EPDM. PVC and TPO are sealed by heat welding the seams together. EPDM seams are sealed with adhesive. PVC and TPO are known for their high reflectivity and being more eco-friendly.
