While most homeowners are familiar with pitched roof styles like gable, flat roofs, or designs with a very low slope, they are gaining popularity in residential homes. Only the most experienced roofers have the knowledge and skills to work with this modern roofing option.
In the Twin Cities, Stillwater Roofing is the company to call when a low-slope roof starts to leak. Here are some of the quality materials we use on these designs.
Flat Roofs: Residential and Commercial Quality
TPO Membranes
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) is a single-ply membrane made from polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. TPO roofing provides excellent UV resistance, energy efficiency, and durability. Its reflective surface helps reduce energy costs by minimizing heat absorption, making it environmentally friendly. Known for its flexibility, TPO is easy to install on various flat roof structures.
EPDM Membranes
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a man-made rubber, manufactured in a thin membrane or sheet rolled out over low-slope roofs. EPDM is highly durable and weather-resistant, making it a cost-effective solution. This single-ply membrane is available in large rolls, reducing seams and potential leakage points. EPDM roofing is known for its easy installation and maintenance, providing long-lasting protection for low-slope roofs.
Modified Bitumen Roof Systems
Modified Bitumen is an asphalt-based roof system designed for flat or low-sloped roofs. It combines asphalt with modifiers like APP (Atactic Polypropylene) or SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) to enhance flexibility, strength, and durability. The modified bitumen sheets are typically applied in layers using torch-down or cold adhesive methods. This layered system is great for waterproofing and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
PVC Roofing
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic membrane known for its durability and versatility. PVC roofing is made of two layers – a base layer and a protective top layer. The material is heat-welded during installation, creating a seamless, watertight barrier for low-slope roofs. PVC roof membranes provide excellent resistance against chemicals, fire, and UV rays, making them reliable for flat roof protection.
