If you are in the market for flat roofing material for your GTA home, you will be faced with having to make some decisions. Not only will you need to find a reliable and experienced contractor to do the work, but you will also need to make a number of choices before the project can begin.
Pitch and Roofing Material
Selecting the right roofing material is not as simple as picking a colour that will coordinate with your exterior paint or siding. Your contractor will explain that the right material for a particular roof depends on its pitch or how sharp the angle is.
Words like ridge, valleys, dormer, gables, and rakes may be used to describe parts of the roof in some instances. You would be looking at choosing a colour for your shingles, and there may even be different quality grades with warranties for 25 years or more. If you are looking to have a flat roof replaced, your choice is a simple one.
Flat Roofing Material for Your GTA Home
Roll roofing is the preferred method of covering a flat roof. This type of low-slope roof is generally used for porches and garages, as opposed to a house.
The advantage of a rolled material is that it is easy to apply. This type of product can be applied without the use of any hot materials. It is nailed in place to provide extra security. It is highly durable and can stand up well to our Canadian winters; the limited warranty on the product is for 20 years.
Rolled roofing material is waterproof to keep moisture out. Its exterior surface has a ceramic granular surface which looks similar to asphalt shingles. Customers can choose from black, white, cool grey, weathered wood, or desert tan colours to get a coordinated look for their homes.
