What Is The Best Flat Roof For Me?
06/11/2014
A flat roof comes in a choice of different materials including felt, rubber or fibreglass. Each of these materials has its own benefits and all three of will certainly help to improve your home should need a replacement. If you feel you could do with a new flat roof here is what we have to say that may help you to make a decision.
Felt roofing
Typically applied in a 3 layer system, felt roofs are particuarly durable and will last at least 25 years, some even as long as 30 years if properly maintained. As felt roof is also highly versatile roof and cost effective to install, easy to maintain and looks great too – there are many different finishes and colours that you can choose from.
Rubber roofing
EDPM rubber roofs have become a highly popular choice of roof ever since they first arrived in the UK. A rubber roof can often be installed in one complete layer without the need for joins which creates a seamless, complete look that is neat and tidy. It is also extremely light-weight, elastic and tough, creating a roofing system that will last for many years to come – most guarantees on EDPM rubber roofs will be at least 15 years if not longer. There aren’t as many styles and finishes on offer for a rubber roof but it is a great choice, ideal for performance over aesthetics.
Fibreglass roofing
GRP Fibreglass roofing is one of the highest quality choices available on the market today and most highly recommended. A fibreglass roof is the most durable of the 3 types of roofing and is very unlikely to suffer from damage of any kind. In the unlikely event that this does happen it is a relatively simple and easy process to repair and can be done in a way that you can’t even tell the work has been done. Most guarantees will last about 30 years but the roof is expected to have a lifespan of over 100 years, further reflecting their strength and durability - most manufacturers also offer their own guarantees in addition to ours.
