Flat Roof Information

Initial planning

  1. Consultation and Design: Assessing the needs, budget, and preferences to design the roof system that fits the building.
  2. Material Selection: Choosing appropriate materials such as SIKA, EPDM or FIBREGLASS based on durability, cost, and climate considerations. 
  3. Site Preparation: Ensuring the area is ready for installation, which may include removing old roofing materials and repairing any underlying issues.

Types and Processes 

  1. Installation of Underlayment: Adding a waterproof barrier to protect against moisture and ensure longevity.
  2. Roof Deck Installation: Laying the new roof deck, typically made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB).
  3. Insulation Installation: Applying insulation boards to improve energy efficiency.
  4. Seaming and Membrane Installation: Properly placing and sealing the waterproof membrane, which may involve heat-welding or adhesive methods.
  5. Edge and Drainage Installation: Installing edge flashing and ensuring that the drainage system is effective to prevent pooling water.

Final thoughts

  1. Final Inspection: Conducting a thorough check to ensure everything meets quality standards and building codes.
  2. Maintenance Plans: Discussing ongoing maintenance services to extend the life of the roof.

 

This systematic approach ensures a durable and efficient flat roof installation, aimed at long-term performance.
