Flat roofs create unique maintenance problems.
There are basically two kinds of flat roofs: those that leak and those that don’t leak YET!
Keeping flat roofs dry and free of debris can add valuable years to their life. Good Design is very important as it will reduce water and debris collection. The flat roof experts at Sparks Roofing can identify problems and provide solutions for long-lasting flat roofs.
We specialize in flat roof maintenance that will extend the life of your existing roof system and save you money by re-roofing only when absolutely necessary.
With flat roofs there are three main reasons for renovating:
* |
the waterproof layer is approaching the end of its predicted lifespan. |
* |
the waterproof layer has failed.
|
* |
thermal performance of the roof is inadequate |
In all these cases it may be desirable to upgrade the thermal efficiency of the roof. For flat roofs renovation often involves considerable disruption to the structure when insulation is added to improve the thermal efficiency.
Inverted Roof Construction
The inverted roof construction offers a successful method of upgrading the thermal efficiency of a flat roof by laying the insulation on top of the existing waterproof layer.
The benefits of the inverted roof construction include:
* |
improved thermal performance. |
* |
improved life of waterproof layer. |
* |
improved appearance. |
Because the insulation is laid on the existing waterproof layer the roof can be upgraded without the need to remove and renew the existing membrane.
There is:
* |
no need to disturb the membrane. |
* |
no need to disturb the activities of the occupants. |
* |
no need to wait for the weather or to provide temporary waterproofing. |
