When designing an extension or new home, most people’s go-to roof is a traditional pitched one with tile or slate. However, flat roofing is an ideal choice for all kinds of residential projects in Portsmouth, Worthing and the surrounding areas. If you’re on a budget, looking for a modern design choice, or want a low-maintenance roof, a flat roof could be perfect for you.
Flat roof applications range from main houses to garages and outbuildings. The team at All Round Roofing can help find the best option for your roof, including the best roofline materials.
Here are our top reasons to choose a flat roof for your home:
Price
The price of flat roofs varies depending on the material you choose and size of the roof; however, flat roofs are typically cheaper than pitched roofs. This is because they need fewer materials and are a simpler construction. The materials are also cheaper. Furthermore, flat roofs are easier to maintain, reducing long-term costs.
Installation
Flat roofing is easier and quicker to install. This provides a time-efficient option for your project and can help keep work running smoothly. Another benefit of fast installation is that it reduces the time your home is exposed to the elements. Installation costs can also be lower because labour requirements are minimal.
Maintenance
With a flat roof, you can expect to pay less in maintenance costs over the lifespan of the roof, due to easier maintenance and cheaper materials. It is easier to maintain flat roofs because they are more accessible and have fewer components.
Usability
A flat roof can help make the most of your space. With proper construction, flat roofing can act as a balcony or roof garden, giving you extra living space. Flat roofs are also suitable for solar panels, which increase the sustainability of your home and reduce energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
Flat roofs help homeowners heat their homes more efficiently. This is due to several reasons:
Modern Design
If you want a modern look for your house, extension, garage or other structure, you can’t go wrong with a flat roof. Flat roofing offers a sleek appearance synonymous with contemporary architecture. Flat roofs can even be an ideal option for areas with planning restrictions because they are less obtrusive than other options.
Range of Options
When it comes to flat roofs, you have a range of options to choose from, including rubber, felt and GRP. As well as the material, you can also choose from different colours to create your desired look. As such, there is something to suit every budget and preference.
Durability
Flat roofs are incredibly durable and, depending on the material, can last 30–50 years or more with proper maintenance. They are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and are easy to keep in top condition.
In addition to the above advantages, there are even more reasons why flat roofing is a great choice for homeowners:
