Are you currently searching for a licensed Maryland roofing contractor to install/repair a flat roof on your home? If so, contact LCM Associates today.
Flat roofs are not really flat, but have a very slight slope so water does not pool on top. There are many different types of residential flat roofs to choose from such as:
- Roll Asphalt Flat Roof
- Built-Up Flat Roof
- Single Ply Membrane Flat Roof
- Aluminum Flat Roof
Roll asphalt is a single layer of organic or fiberglass felt saturated with asphalt. Roll asphalt is the most economical residential flat roof available, but has the shortest lifespan of about 10 years. Built-up roofs are made from alternating layers of a waterproof felt material and asphalt or tar. After applying the layers of material, the flat roof is then covered with small stones or gravel. Depending upon climate conditions and other variables these types of roofs should last from 10 to 20 years. Generally, the more layers applied the longer life you can expect. Single Ply or membrane roofs consist of a single sheet of material such as EPDM, rubberized asphalt, PVC or modified bitumen. It can be applied by heat or even a peel-and-stick application. With proper care and maintenance these roofs should last around 10 to 15 years. An eye-pleasing and eco-friendly option for this type of roof is planting a rooftop garden. A rooftop garden extends the life of the membrane by protecting it from harsh elements as well as absorbs heat from the sun which helps to cool your home in the summer months.
