Flat Roof Replacement & Installation
Professional Roofing Installation
When the pitch is lower than 3/12, a flat roof is an excellent option for waterproofing your home or commercial business. Choosing a flat roof means better access for maintenance and poses less risk to workers, which lowers the installation cost. Flat roofs are excellent for creating usable space and, if maintained properly, can last anywhere from 12-25 years, depending on the material you choose. Our installations are designed for durability and performance in the Canadian climate. We also consider options for a slope roof where appropriate.

- Built-Up Roof (BUR)
- Modified Bitumen
- Rubber Membrane (EPMD, TPC or PVC)
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
This type of roofing is one of the oldest types of flat roofing. It is traditionally comprised of three parts: bitumen material (like tar), roofing felt, and one or more surfacing materials such as gravel and stone. The roofing felt and asphalt are embedded in the bitumen and applied with a hot mop. The process is repeated until there are three or four layers built up—hence the name built-up roof. The process is finalized by pouring a layer of gravel over the top. The material most commonly used to surface the roof is gravel or fine stones. This layer works to repel the sun for better insulation and protects the layers underneath from debris. The stone also evens out the surface, making the roofing easier to walk on. This method of built-up roofing is a time-tested solution.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Established in the 1960s, a modified bitumen roof is exactly how it sounds: another version of the built-up roof using bitumen. The difference is that this system is comprised of single-ply sheets, reinforced with polymer, that can be applied with cold, hot, or self-adhesive methods. Once these sheets are assembled, they offer a much more effective roofing solution. The added strength and elasticity of the reinforced polymer perform better in the lower temperatures of the Canadian climate.
The advantages of a modified bitumen roof are:
- Enhanced insulation from the seamless connection of ply sheet bitumen.
- Improved sealing capability, making this method more leak-resistant.
- Reduced energy costs from a highly heat-reflective surface.
- Tear-resistant from the reinforced polymer and fibreglass.
The bitumen can be hot or cold. The hot application means it needs to be heated to liquefy and become adhesive. The cold can be sprayed on and is not dependent on the weather; however, it is not considered to perform as well as hot or torch-down bitumen.
Single Layer Membrane Roof (EPMD, TPC, or PVO)
Of all commercial roofing types, the single-layer membrane roof is the most effective. This type of roofing system utilizes the latest technology in flats and is applied using a single-layer membrane. You can choose from a variety of types, but the most common are EPMD, TPO, and PVC.
- EPDM is an acronym for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer and is most commonly seen on low-sloping commercial flat roofs. The benefits associated are its performance during extreme weather conditions and resistance to wind uplift. These advantages can be attributed to the fact that EPMD can be installed by adhesive, ballasted, or mechanically attached. It's a great choice for many EPDM projects.
- TPO is a membrane used to reflect heat from the sun and UV rays. It is especially effective for the summer months in keeping the surface of the rooftop cooler. It can be attached using an adhesive or mechanically, which can result in the white membrane remaining exposed.
- PVC is considered the most durable and, therefore, the premium choice in rubber membranes. The material is more tear-resistant, pliable, and effective for waterproofing. The process involves using a hot-air welded system to fasten the seams together (as opposed to using a special tape or adhesive in the alternative options). This also makes it the most expensive option in single-layer membrane flat syled options.
