When undertaking work with flat roofs there are a few different options to choose from when replacing or installing a new flat roofing system. Consequently, the range of alternatives provides a wide spread of cost points so it is prudent to be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of each when choosing an appropriate flat roof covering.
As Roofers Kilmarnock we are happy to provide honest impartial advice on the best flat roof for you and your budget. Asphalt is normally one of the most inexpensive options and justifiably so. However, we would recommend this sort of coating for a shed but not a household roof. Just behind asphalt is strengthened bitumen membranes which are installed in a similar fashion to Asphalt because it is rolled out over the flat roofing system and after being pinned down it is then weighted down with a crushed aggregate layer. They are older flat roof options and nowadays modern flat roof materials are fibreglass (glass reinforced polyester), PVC and also EPDM rubber roof. We can talk about the benefits and drawbacks of each to assist you to choose which would certainly be most suitable for your specific flat roofing scenario as well as providing further details below.
