Different Types of Flat Roofs
Currently, there are various types of flat roofs available in the market. The differing quality is the type of substrates employed in the composition of their layers. Some of the different types of flat roofs include built-up roofing, modified bitumen roofing, and single-ply roofing.
Built-up roofing is one of the oldest roofs that are still in use in America. They are more commonly known as tar or gravel roofs due to their composition. Asphalt and coal tar are heated in a liquidized mixture, which is later used to mop the surface.
Modified bitumen roofing also consists of asphalt and can be applied either as a hot tar mixture or through a cold solvent used as an adhesive. However, they have seams every 3 feet.
Lastly, unlike bitumen roofs, single ply roofs have fewer seams and are more advanced than asphaltic rolled roofs. As a result, they are becoming many people’s first choice of roofing.

Knowing about these different types cannot help make repairs; however, choosing the right type can prolong the longevity of your roof.
