Flat Roofs

Installing the proper material for your flat roof is very important, especially if you’re going to contract a Halifax roofing company to install it. Most flat roofs in Halifax and surrounding areas don't have an attic space (and even if they do, it’s usually quite small). This translates to mean that your home may not have enough insulation, allowing heat and humidity to escape through the roof, which in turn leads to condensation (and potentially mold). The best solution for Halifax roofing in this situation is to add insulation on top of the flat roof.

Benefits of working with a Halifax roofing company to install a flat roof:

• Insulation can be added on top of the roof
• A deck or entertainment area can be built on the roof
• Some flat roof designs can be turned into living areas through additions
• Flat roofs can be installed on surfaces with minimal to no slope
• A maintenance-free green roof system can be installed over your flat roof, helping control rain water
• A flat roof may not need to be vented
• Skylights installed in a flat roof ensure natural light in the home all day long
• Material used on flat roofs is tough enough to walk on
• Wood framing can transmit cold from outdoors. Adding insulation on top of a flat roof reduces heat loss because framing is not needed, resulting in continuous insulation without gaps.

As an industry leading Halifax roofing company, we offer a variety of warranties (each with a different length of term) based on the number of layers of roofing installed. We typically recommend going with a minimum 2-ply flat roofing system whenever installing a deck over your roof for extra support.

If you have a flat roof, sections of it can (potentially) be framed, giving you the option to expand your living space. Accurate Roofing is a Halifax roofing company that can guide you through the process, ensuring it is done properly. Contact us today for a consultation!
