Flat roof refurbishment offers a host of benefits for owners of commercial and industrial buildings, however, with so many types of flat roof coverings available industry-wide, how can you get clued up on what’s available and make the right decision for your requirements?

With a wide range of coverings available, all with varying characteristics, fixing methods and capabilities, it is easy to get confused when considering which flat roofing system is the right choice for your building. As well as asking a qualified roofing contractor to assist with an assessment of your roof and needs, you can also explore the roofing options for yourself to get the best performance and longevity for your industrial or commercial premises.
Recommended Types of Industrial Flat Roofs
Many industrial flat roofs reside above multi-storey office blocks, which limits the choice of flat roof coverings somewhat in a search for enhanced durability and performance. In the majority of cases, a steel deck forms the basis of a new flat roofing system which is then followed by the addition of a built-up system.
This combination offers durability, thermal efficiency and easy maintenance and repair for commercial and industrial building owners. The diverse use of steel decking and a built up roofing system utilises plywood sheeting, the correct thickness of insulation and a vapour barrier to safeguard your industrial building for years to come. The process is finished with a sealed waterproof membrane, which is mechanically fixed or adhered to for enhanced protection.
