Finding the Right Flat Roofing Option for Your Building
Commercial Low-Slope Roofing Solutions From Warren Roofing®
Many commercial buildings—from schools to hospitals and retail centers—feature a flat roof. While this style of roof may not have much architectural appeal, the functionality of a flat roof is its most valuable feature. Low-slope roofs are durable, water resistant, easily accessible for repairs to HVAC and ventilation systems, and generally easier for a property manager to maintain. But make no mistake: There is no “one-size-fits-all” flat roofing system. If you are considering a flat roof replacement for your commercial building, you’ll want to work with a commercial roofing contractor to make sure you understand your options, including built-up and single ply roofing systems.
