Flat Roofing Systems
The Experienced Commercial Roofing Pros in Oklahoma
In contrast to the steeper sloped roofs typically found on residential buildings, a flat roofing system is a type of roof with a minimal slope, typically less than 10 degrees. It is frequently used on commercial buildings and is characterized by materials like EPDM (rubber), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), PVC, or modified bitumen. These materials are made to withstand standing water and require proper drainage systems to function effectively.
Material options:
• Built-Up Roofing (BUR):
Multiple layers of bitumen and fabric, covered with gravel or a reflective coating.
• Modified Bitumen Roofing:
Asphalt-based with added polymer layers for durability.
Single-Ply Membranes:
TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin): Energy-efficient, flexible, and resistant to UV rays.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): A synthetic rubber membrane, durable and weather-resistant.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Resistant to chemicals, fire, and punctures.
