What is a Flat Roof?
In contrast to peaked roofs, flat roofs are almost level with the top layer of brickwork on your business or home. You may also have heard people talk about “low-slope” roofs, in light of their reduced angle.
Famed for its red-brick buildings and sloping rooftops, you may be surprised to learn that our flat roof solutions are just as popular in Manchester as they are in the rest of the UK. In fact, with almost three-quarters of British properties having at least some flat roofs, the demand for flat roof repair and construction services is only set to rise.
Whilst a flat roof can help to modernise your Manchester home, larger commercial properties benefit from flat roofing thanks to its energy-saving potential. Discover more about the benefits of flat roofing below.
The Benefits of Flat Roofs
One of the most noticeable benefits of flat roofs is their modern aesthetic. However, beyond appearance, they provide a myriad of functional benefits for your Manchester property.
For instance, because flat roofs are easier to access, it’s much simpler to clean, inspect and maintain them. This can help to keep potential issues at bay by identifying any minor cracks or damage before they become serious.
Having a flat roof also makes your property more versatile. For instance, homeowners may wish to use the additional platform-style area to develop a rooftop or living garden. Likewise, business owners will be able to make efficient use of their flat roof space by installing their HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) units on them.
In some respects, flat roofs are much easier to construct than their peaked counterparts. They require fewer materials and tools to build and can be installed efficiently by a smaller team. Nevertheless, despite their seemingly simple aesthetic, flat roofs do require a certain level of skill and craftsmanship to get them right. At Southern Cross Projects Roofing & Waterproofing, we have both the expertise and the world-renowned materials to construct flat roofing in Manchester that truly makes an impact.
Finally, flat roofs are incredibly energy efficient, thanks to the membrane-style insulation installed within them. To find out more about this insulation and the general flat roofing installation process, read more below.
The Flat Roof Installation Process
When it comes to Manchester flat-roof solutions, there’s no better provider than Southern Cross Projects Roofing & Waterproofing.
Before we construct the timber frame of your Manchester flat roof, we will come out to your home or business to take accurate measurements. All our visits will be arranged around your schedule, to ensure we don’t interrupt your daily routines or company production.
After carefully constructing and installing your frame, we will fit waterproof panels to the sides. We can then go about fitting your insulation. There are two different ways in which we can do this.
Whilst warm roofs have a layer of insulation directly below your rooftop, cold roofs consist of an additional air pocket, which not only helps to maintain a constant temperature but also improves ventilation. Warm flat roofs tend to work best on larger commercial properties, garages and outbuildings, whilst cold roofs work best in residential homes.
The final stage of our process is waterproofing, which is included in all our Manchester flat roofing services as standard, on top of our generous warranty. We use an innovative liquid polyurethane sealant to do this, ensuring that your new roof is completely watertight. This is just one of the reasons why our many happy customers consider us the best flat roof company near Manchester.
