Flat roofing has numerous advantages over pitched roofing in terms of cost and efficiency. Smaller structures, such as garages, expansions and porches, are often covered with a flat roof. This is considered the more cost-effective option because it requires less materials and labour, allowing several projects to be completed in a single day.
Despite being referred to as a flat roof, all flat roofs have a modest pitch of up to 10 degrees to allow rainfall to drain correctly.
Apart from the expense, the most significant benefit of a flat roof is the additional space available. A flat roof can be the ideal choice because it can also be used as a balcony or as a roof top garden – the possibilities are virtually endless. Flat roofs are also more accessible than pitched roofs, making it easier and less expensive to clean your windows and gutters, as well as installing satellite dishes or solar panels.
