When it comes to commercial buildings, the roof is one of the most critical components. It protects the structure from the elements, ensures the safety of the occupants, and contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the building. 

Among the various types of commercial roofing, flat roofing is a popular choice due to its practicality and cost-effectiveness. 

Understanding Flat Roofing

Despite the name, flat roofs aren’t entirely flat. They typically have a slight slope of 1/4 to 1/2 inch per foot to allow for water drainage. This design is particularly suitable for large commercial structures, maximizing usable space and offering a more economical solution compared to pitched roofs.

Flat roofs come in several types, each with its own advantages:

• Single-ply membranes: These include EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). EPDM, which we specialize in at Legends Roofing, is particularly popular due to its exceptional durability and weather resistance.
• Built-up roofing (BUR): This traditional system consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric.
• Modified bitumen: A modern take on BUR, using polymer-modified bitumen for improved performance.
• Spray polyurethane foam (SPF): A seamless, highly insulating option.

Why Choose Flat Roofing?

Flat roofs are a common feature in commercial buildings for several reasons:

1. Cost-Effectiveness: Flat roofs are generally less expensive to install compared to pitched roofs. The materials used are often more affordable, and the installation process is simpler and quicker.
2. Space Utilization: Flat roofs provide additional usable space. They can be used for HVAC units, solar panels, or even as a rooftop garden or recreational area.
3. Maintenance and Accessibility: Flat roofs are easier to access, making maintenance and repairs more straightforward and less costly.
