Flat roofs

A flat roof is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. Flat roofs are an ancient form mostly used in arid climates and allow the roof space to be used as a living space or a living roof.

Felt

A traditional felt roof is a flat roof surface that is built up using a wooden base and adding 2-3 layers of bitumous felt.These are then bonded together with heated bitumen and are subject to a finishing top coat that provides both and attractive surface whilst helping protect the new roof from the elements. This type of roof forms a dense and impermeable barrier to the elements.

fibre-flat

A properly laid fibreglass roof should last for 30 years with no measurable deterioration.

Fibreglass roofing system is used as a long lasting alternative to felt flat roofs, and also hard-wearing surfaces for balconies and verandas with an added non slip surface.

It can also be used for a variety of other roofing projects. I.e. pitched roofs, parapet capping, wall cladding and water tank boxes. The finished top coat is normally grey, although a wide choice of colours is available.
