What are the benefits of flat roofing?

Many property owners opt to install flat roofing on their property. But what are the benefits? At One Source Roofing, we have worked with countless clients looking to make the investment in flat roofing. Here are just three of the many positive things flat roofing has to offer you.

1. Affordable installation

One of the key benefits flat roofing has over other kinds of roofing is that it’s relatively simple, easy, and quick to install. That makes it affordable. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly roofing solution, flat roofing has to be at the top of your list. This is down to its relative simplicity of design, compared with other roofing options. The associated repair and maintenance costs of flat roofing can be lower, too.

2. More usable space

A flat roof offers you more practical space to use on your roof. You might wonder what you could possibly put on your roof of any use, but there are many options. You could opt to have air conditioning units, for example, or a dehumidifier, or you could have solar panels installed. All of these have considerable benefits, and a flat roof will give you the perfect place to install them conveniently on your property.

3. Lower heating bills

A flat roof will make your property cheaper to heat. Why? It’s simple – hot air rises, we all know this, so when your roof has angles and points all the hot air rises into them. This means the air you’re paying to heat ends up rising to the highest points in your roof. If you have a flat roof, it keeps that hot air lower and provides a more even distribution. That means you’ll need to use your heating less often.

Choosing the right specialists

These are just three of the many benefits flat roofing has to offer. It’s essential, however, that you only trust a professional roofing service to install flat roofing onto your property. One Source Roofing, for example, can provide you with a competitive quote and all the peace of mind you need for a job well done.

Can I repair a flat roof myself?

Back in the day, particularly when flat roofs were frequently made of a mixture of felt and bitumen, repairs were hazardous, complicated affairs. Thankfully, modern roofing technology means that, in some cases, it’s perfectly possible for an able householder to repair small leaks themselves. Whilst some forms of leak clearly call for a professional (for example multiple leaks, a complete re-roofing project, weakness in the substructure or a leak in an asphalt roof where heat treatment will be needed), smaller leaks in rubber membrane or EPDM roofs can usually be fixed by a competent amateur. Painted on repairs are fast and effective Recent advances in roofing technology mean that there are now several products on the market which can simply be painted on to a small leak in order to seal it. Provided you know what material your  flat roof  is made of, it’s simply a case of matching the product to the material, then applying the solution in liquid form to create a fast curing bond.  If y

What are the advantages of having a fibreglass roof?

Fibreglass roofing is slowly gaining popularity in the roofing industry, making it one to watch out for. Its use of glass fibre and polyester resin makes it especially reliable not just for flat roofing, but also for arched shapes and sloping roofs. If you are looking to invest in a new roof or want a roof replacement, here are some advantages of getting a fibreglass roof. Waterproof Before a  fibreglass roof  is installed, it exists in liquid form. It is then laid down in laminate form, eliminating the likelihood of joins or seams. The absence of gaps during installation means that you no longer have to worry about water leaks and reroofing for a couple of years. In addition to this, the topcoat also provides a sleek look for your property. Lightweight Fibreglass roofing is light, given its composition of materials. If your underlay needs a light roof, go for fibreglass. Its weight is one of the reasons most property owners use it for new roof designs. Such a characteristic may have m
