Flat roof is a popular choice among home and business owners because of its many benefits. Flat roofs are affordable, easy to install, and versatile. With the help of professional EPDM roofers Essex, your roof can be an additional space for equipment, and air conditioning vents, among others.

Flat Roofing Options

When it comes to flat roofing, you typically have three choices:

Built-Up Roof (BUR)

This is the traditional combo of gravel and hot tar. If you’ll look at the pros of BUR, it’s the cheapest of the flat roof options you have. The materials used are also excellent fire retardants. However, BUR is heavy and may require strengthening your joists. Aside from that, it’s pretty messy and smelly to install, so it’s not recommended if you already have an occupied property.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Newer bitumen roofing systems involve a peel-and-stick approach and can easily be installed by anyone. In terms of pricing, this option is in the middle of the pack. On the downside, this one might not be the best choice for the long term as it is not tear-resistant and can be easily damaged.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)

Also known as rubber membrane roofing, EPDM is engineered to resist damage from the elements and built to last. EPDM installers London have various approaches when doing an EPDM flat roof, as this material can be glued, fastened, or ballasted. Aside from being very light, EPDM roof can be easily installed. If there are leaks, they can also easily be patched.

EPDM is a great choice whether you live in a cold or warm climate. Its operating temperature shows its versatility. Plus, it is the best material if you’re looking for wind-resistant roofing. Tiles, metal sheets, and shingles will be already blown off during a storm, and yet the EPDM roofing is still immaculate.

EPDM systems also come with a fire-retardant layer that serves as extra protection to your house or place of business.

Because of these, among the flat roofing choices, EPDM comes out on top in terms of durability and cost efficiency, according to experts.
