WHAT IS THE BEST ROOFING MATERIAL FOR A FLAT ROOF?

The following options will help you decide which flat roofing material is best for your property.

• Modified Bitumen. Also called mod-bit, this asphalt material has great pliability and performance. While it may be hard to discern potential leaks on this material, mod-bit is cost-effective, able to last an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years when measured against other materials and can withstand and sustain fluctuating temperature changes.

• Built-up Roofs. Also referred to as BUR, this material/method is one of the oldest and most common used for flat roofs. It includes bitumen and ply sheets and is finished with gravel or mineral. While it can be costly, BUR enjoys a long lifespan of up to 30 years, requires low maintenance, and has waterproofing features — making it a popular flat roofing choice.

• EPDM Rubber. Durable, lightweight, and easy to maintain, EPDM rubber roofing is made from a synthetic rubber compound. While it is inexpensive compared to other materials, EPDM rubber roofing can puncture easily and absorbs quite a bit of heat which can raise your interior temperature and increase your energy bill.
