FLAT ROOFS

Flat Roofing

In residential applications, flat roofs are typically seen on apartment buildings or multi-family homes, but are growing in popularity even in single-family homes due to their ability to modernize a home’s profile. Richard Adams Roofing installs and repairs all types of common flat roofs in South Florida.

Common Flat Roofing Types in Florida

Single-Ply Membrane

Single-ply membrane roofing offers fewer seams and faster installation than asphalt torch-down roofing and is often one of the more affordable flat-roof options for a new installation. Flat roof membranes are available in thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Bitumen Roll

Modified bitumen roofing is an asphalt-based roofing system that is designed for durability. With its strong water resistance and high-tensile strength, modified bitumen roofing is one of the most popular flat roof options in Florida. Modified bitumen roofing is great at withstanding storms and rain, and offers a strong insulation option that can help reduce your air conditioning costs.

Built-Up Roof

Built-up roofing is comprised of alternating layers of reinforcing material and asphalt (bitumen). The visible top layer will be stone or gravel. Built-up roofing is the most common type of low-slope or flat roof in America, and typically has a lifespan of 10 to 25 years.
