Flat Roof Basics
Flat roofs are quite rightly regarded as remarkably versatile, and open up design possibilities unlike any other roof form. There are two benefits to this versatility: first there is the virtually limitless design possibilities, and then there are very specific and strict requirements in terms of insulation and waterproofing.
The quality of the structure is vital for achieving a reliable and long-lasting flat roof. It forms the basis for all the architectural options - from roof terrace to green roof.
The flat roof also offers some very practical advantages: first and foremost easy access. When a roof area is formed into a terrace or planted, the building gains more than simply an attractive exterior. It is also enhanced by the creation of extra living space – whether in a new build or as part of refurbishment.
At the same time, a flat roof permits optimum utilisation of the interior space, as there are no sloping ceilings. All in all, a flat roof offers many advantages for everyone.
