Flat roofs
Flat roofing systems are becoming more and more desirable. While in the past it was primarily seen simply as a great option for garages and extensions, today people are installing them to create eco-friendly green roofs or additional outdoor living space.
Single ply is a flat, synthetic polymer based roofing material that provides a waterproofing layer in a single sheet. Sealed at the joints with heat, adhesive or mechanical means, it can be adhered, mechanically fixed and/or ballasted into flat, pitched or green roof systems.
Single ply roofs are lightweight, flexible, cost effective, swift to install and safe. Which makes them increasingly popular for new builds as well as refurbishment projects.
