Flat Roofing Products

It’s a fact that your roof is one of the most important parts of your Puget Sound house and is the one thing that provides the building structure, the building occupants and the building contents with protection from the elements. Many roofs are in a state of disrepair but homeowners ignore this until the roof gets worse or until the weather gets worse. With regular maintenance and the early identification and fixing of any problems you can usually avoid the big problems that have equally big price tags attached to them.

Flat roofs have extra difficulties associated with them. Because they do not slope rainwater does not automatically run down the roof and drain off. It is absolutely vital that flat roofing materials are as water resistant and water tight as possible to prevent serious damage to the roof itself and to the rest of the building and it’s contents. New types of flat roofing material are being used and while these offer more in the way of protection they are also more expensive as a general rule. There are still two main types of flat roofing materials that are used on a regular basis on new and older houses.

The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) product is a reinforced membrane with tough solvent-or hot-air welded seams. This material has excellent durability and dimensional stability.

Torch Down Roofing got its name from the installation process which done by torching the sheets in the overlap area. Is like a large rubber sheet that’s actually vulcanized onto a fiberglass base sheet.
