Flat Roofs or Low Sloped Roof Systems
Many of our customers’ have homes with flat roofs over their Florida room or a low sloped roof over a porch or carport area that can be problematic and a constant source for leaks. Albright Roofing has years of experience solving these problems for our customers and with the introduction of several new types of flat roof systems the customer has better options.
Roofing Options
Tapered Roof System: Perhaps the best option to any flat roof is installing a tapered roof system that will provide a slight slope to your flat, allowing it to drain and eliminate ponding water. The taper system when installed properly will produce a pitch of ¼ inch per foot and as an added bonus provide an insulation barrier helping to reduce the transfer of heat into your Florida room. There are several options for covering your new Tapered System including
Built-Up Roof System: A rolled rubber roof system that gets applied in layers to the roof. The final layer is called modified bitumen a rolled rubber product with a white granular finish just like a shingle. You can also get this product in lots of colors to match your shingles if you would like
Elastomeric Roof Coating System: A roof waterproofing system made of a U.V. resistant elastomeric compound. It is applied in layers similar to a built-up roof system and can be applied over almost any clean surface. It is a renewable system that does not have to be removed every 10 to 20 years, it can be renewed by applying 2 new coats of the premium compound every 10 years.
