What is Flat Roofing?
Flat roofing is a type of roofing system created for relatively level surfaces, in comparison to traditional pitched roofs. With industrial and commercial buildings accumulating significant quantities of water and snow over the changing seasons, flat roofs typically combine tar and gravel, and other waterproof materials, to form a seal that protects against pooling water.
The Different Types of Flat Roof Materials
The different materials used for flat roofs in Mississauga come in a wide range of options, depending on your needs and budget. Some examples include:
Single-Layer Membrane Flat Roof
Single-ply roofs use wide width sheeting designed for low slope roofs. They have far fewer seams than asphaltic rolled roof systems and don’t require dangerous torches or hot asphalt for installation.
Built-up Roof (BUR)
Built-up roofing or BUR roofs include multiple layers of protection to keep your building watertight. These systems are aesthetic, resistant to heavy foot traffic, and have been used for over 100 years.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is a type of roofing that is similar to the BUR roof system. It is made of asphalt combined with rubber or plastic, then reinforced with fibreglass to create a waterproof membrane.

FAQs
What is the cheapest commercial flat roof?
Modified bitumen is the cheapest commercial flat roofing system. While the lifespan of modified bitumen is shorter than other roofing systems, with regular maintenance you can maximize your investment.
What is the lifespan of a flat roof?
The materials used in a flat roof’s construction largely determines its lifespan. For example, a multi-layer built-up roof made of waterproofing, tar, and gravel can last 15-20 years.
Do flat roofs require additional maintenance?
Flat roofs generally require more maintenance than sloped roofs, due to the accumulation of leaves and debris collecting on them.
