Following are the various types of flat roofs options that you can choose for your building:

• Metal Flat Roofing: Metal is one of the most commonly utilized materials for flat roof replacement. Metal, particularly aluminum, is known for its toughness. In optimal conditions, flat metal roofs can endure about 35 years and provide a great ROI on investment. It also has the added benefit of reflecting heat from the sun, which helps to keep energy expenses down. However, it is usually necessary to tear it out when replacing a metal roof. Roofers are unable to put a new roof over an existing metal roof.
• EPDM Flat Roof: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a polymeric material created from discarded resources. EPDM roofing is both long-lasting and affordable. But, EPDM installs necessitate seaming, which increases the likelihood of water seeping through seams and pulling away from the roof, causing damage to your building. However, this can easily be prevented when the roof is installed by an expert and experienced roofers.
• Built-up Flat Roof Replacement: Asphalt and pebbles create a built-up flat roof (BUR). It has been the best choice of any commercial roofer for the past 120 years. They are attractive and efficient insulators. Because of the several layers, built-up flat roofs are incredibly durable. However, those layers add significantly to the weight of the roof so this is something to keep in mind for this option.
• Modified Bitumen Flat Roofing: Modified bitumen is quick and straightforward to install, and it also effectively reflects heat.
• Spray Applied Coating: Spray-applied coatings aid in sealing and protecting flat roofs against water damage. There are no seams to worry about because the coating is sprayed on, and it will fill the gaps in EPDM roofing for an enhanced lifetime. Although spray-applied coverings are time-consuming when it comes to the installation process, they are well worth the effort and cost because they extend the life of your flat roof by several years.
