Installing a flat roof is on average cheaper and simpler, because it is not necessary to install a wooden structure - all layers are installed on a reinforced concrete cover.

Installation of a flat roof

Flat roof installation work includes planning the roof, ordering materials and assembling the roof. The duration of roof installation is very individual, depending on the area and complexity of the roof. The preliminary duration of the implementation of works for a private house is 1-2 weeks.

Previously, we could see flat roofs only on apartment buildings and public buildings. However, the trend to install a flat roof is gradually becoming popular in residential houses as well. 

A flat roof is not actually perfectly horizontal. According to building regulations, a roof is considered flat when its slope is between 0.7° and 7°. The roof is not completely flat, as at least a minimal slope is required for the water to run off. These roofs are also called overlapped because the roof and the ceiling basically coincide in one plane - the roof, so to speak, becomes the ceiling of the upper rooms. The flat roof is already recognized as an energy-efficient, reliable and economical alternative to the pitched roof.

When performing roof installation works, we fully install rain drainage systems - gutters, downspouts, eaves. We also install parapet tinning works, install protective fences, skylights, etc.

What are the advantages of installing a flat roof

  • Longevity
  • Installation speed
  • No loss of indoor space
  • Flexibility. The coating is extremely flexible, so even the most complex roof elements can be waterproofed with it
  • It is easy to achieve high energy results
  • The waterproofing layer is laid at the very bottom and thus is protected from damage. In other words, such "inverted" roofs are less likely to leak
  • The roof is less likely to be torn off by a storm because it has no overhangs
  • On the roof, you can install a garden or entertainment, recreation areas, solar power plants. It can become a terrace or just a place to relax. You can even install a green roof

Installation of a flat roof

When installing a flat roof, the greatest attention is paid to waterproofing, because after the roof is pierced, water will slowly drip into the premises. Roofs are made in such a way that in the event of roof deformation, rainwater does not reach the premises.

All necessary layers are installed on the reinforced concrete floor. Since the flat roof will become part of your ceiling, thermal insulation cannot be ignored. If the room under it will not be inhabited, it may not be insulated, or only the overlay may be insulated.

Roof layers must be ventilated

No matter how tight the roof covering is, condensation moisture still appears in the structure, which should not be there. Ventilation chimneys are installed for it to evaporate. Such chimneys should be installed on all roofs with a width of more than 10 meters. One chimney is allocated for an area of 60-80 m². These chimneys collect water vapor from the roof structure and release it to the outside, so they are deepened through the entire heat insulation layer.

Natural light

Flat roof skylights

Flat roofs are suitable for installing skylights, and vertical light is much more intense. Most often, dome-shaped skylights are installed in corridors - in this way, more light enters the room. The advantage of dome-shaped skylights is the price. Finally, such a skylight can be covered with a self-cleaning coating, so it does not require additional maintenance.

Skylights are often installed in public buildings. Skylights can be hinged or non-hinged. Most often, they have a special shape and installation, reminiscent even of hatches, but there are also solutions that resemble more traditional skylights.

For people who want to have a personal recreation space - we suggest choosing a green flat roof.

 

Recommended layers for low load roofs

  • vapor barrier layer,
  • thermal insulation board
  • waterproofing layer made of PVC, much more resistant than bituminous coatings.

When installing or renewing a flat roof, it is most appropriate to install an insulated inverted roof. In this case, the insulating layer is located above the waterproofing, protecting it from sudden temperature changes, sunlight and mechanical loads.

If the spaces are properly designed, the roof can be used as an entertainment and recreation space

Green flat roofs

One of the most popular inverted roof modifications. A very long history, it is enough to remember the hanging roofs of Semiramis. Green roofs are popular in the Pamirs, where fertile soil is poured on the roofs and vegetables are grown, and in Norway, where green roofs provide excellent thermal insulation

The requirements for these roofs are different, as the ability of plants to penetrate the smallest cracks and expand them must first be assessed. To protect against the effects of the roots, a coating of PVC or foil is laid.

The weight of the earth's substrate depends on what to plant on the roof. Lawns and flower lawns need 10-20 cm, flowers and flowering shrubs 20-30 cm, shrubs and small trees 40-70 cm.
