The main feature of the modified bitumen roll is it has very good adaptability to both cold and hot atmospheres.

frequently asked questions
Why should I choose a flat roof for my home?

Flat roofs offer several key advantages:
• Enhanced usable space—flat surfaces are ideal for rooftop patios, gardens, storage, or solar panel installations  .
• Better energy efficiency—they promote even heat distribution and, when paired with reflective materials, can reduce cooling costs   .
• Modern aesthetic and cost‑effective—flat roofs present a sleek architectural look and can be built more affordably with modern materials .

What types of flat roofing materials are available?

Common material options include:
• Single‑ply membrane systems: such as EPDM (synthetic rubber) and TPO (thermoplastic olefin), known for durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency
• Modified bitumen: polymer‑reinforced asphalt available in torch‑down or self‑adhesive forms; cost‑effective but with shorter lifespan (~15–20 years)
• Built‑Up Roofing (BUR): multiple layers of felt and asphalt with gravel surfacing; long-lasting and robust but heavier and messier to install .
• Metal (standing seam): highly durable and eco-friendly, lasting 30–50 years, but more costly and potentially prone to leakage if drainage is insufficient .

What is the expected lifespan of a flat roof?

Lifespan varies by material:
• Modified bitumen: about 15–20 years .
• Membrane systems (e.g., EPDM, TPO): typically 30–50 years depending on quality and climate .
• Metal roofs: around 30–50 years; highly durable .

How much slope should a “flat” roof have?

Flat roofs aren’t completely level; they usually have a very slight pitch—about 1/4 to 1/2 inch per foot (roughly 1–4°)—to help with drainage .

What common issues should I be aware of with flat roofs?

Key concerns include:
• Water ponding and drainage: due to low slope, improper drainage can lead to standing water, leaks, or structural damage .
• Flashing failures: 90 % of leaks occur at rooftop flashings around penetrations—these need regular inspection and upkeep .
• Insulation saturation: water infiltration can degrade insulation (and its R‑value), leading to costly replacements if not addressed promptly .

How often should my flat roof be inspected?

Flat roofs should be inspected at least twice a year—generally in the spring and fall—and after any major weather events to catch and address issues early .

Should I repair or replace my flat roof?

This depends on the condition and age of the roof. Minor issues may warrant repair, but significant or widespread deterioration often makes full replacement more cost‑effective. Always consult a qualified professional for assessment .

What certifications should my roofing contractor have in Ontario?

Ensure your contractor:
• Holds WSIB coverage and at least $2 million comprehensive general liability insurance.
• For torch‑down installations (e.g., modified bitumen), must have the proper certifications and permits .

Can I use my flat roof as a green roof or patio?

Yes! With proper structural and waterproofing design, flat roofs are excellent for green roofs, rooftop patios, or solar arrays. These uses often require additional permits and safety measures (e.g. guardrails) .

How do I prevent water build-up and maintenance issues?

Best practices include:
• Designing proper drainage: use scuppers, drains, or built-in slopes to prevent ponding .
• Regular upkeep: keep drains clear, inspect flashings, and address minor damage before it escalates.
