Leaky roofs, especially during Seattle's rainy winter, can be a serious problem for your commercial building. A Flat Roof Replacement could make all the difference in water drainage, insulation, and appearance. We at NorthCan Roofing provide quality flat roofing residential and commercial building solutions that will help keep your building dry and sturdy while enhancing the quality of your surroundings.

Flat Roof Replacement Offers Many Benefits 

1. Roof Drainage

Any ponding water can lead to serious damage to your commercial building. If the water cannot drain easily, it will seep into the building and cause leaks that can lead to mold and mildew. Flat Roof Replacement has higher drainage than other types of roofs, which is needed to keep roof water moving along with the help of gutters. Gutters direct rainwater away from your roof, preventing puddling on top of your roof. Water then runs down the gutters, into the gutter downspouts, and eventually flows into your storm drains. The storm drains carry this water away from your building, out of your neighborhood, and to Puget Sound.

2. Moisture Control

A liquid-tight seal is needed on all flat roofs to create a barrier between your building's interior and the weather. That seal can be achieved using non-adhesive liquid rubber membranes installed over a roof's underlay. This liquid rubber membrane can create a tight seal between your roof and the weather, preventing cold air from entering your building during the winter and hot air from entering during the summer.

3. Insulation Package

Flat roofs are generally insulated with extruded polystyrene, which is more durable than fiberglass insulation, preventing rips or tears from occurring along your roof. Flat Roof Replacement also allows for greater insulate R-value, which is determined by the thickness of the material.

4. Attractive appearance

It can be the goal of many building owners to create a more aesthetic appearance for their commercial buildings. Flat Roof Replacement Hamilton will help create a seamless look with your other building materials. We at North Can have the expert knowledge to help you make the right decision for your building.

5. Fire protection

A non-combustible material used in flat roofs cannot ignite easily but can create a fire's heat source. A waterproof membrane is recommended in building construction to prevent stray ember sparks from igniting in place of a fire source. Flat Roof Replacement will create a seamless look with your other building materials, but using concrete will also prevent embers from igniting on fire.

6. Safety

Flat Roof Replacement Hamilton has a lighter appearance than other roofs, allowing for easier access by firefighting vehicles during emergencies. This type of construction also reduces the risk of falling objects, such as tree branches, that may hit your commercial building and cause damage or injury to your personnel or customers.

7. Appearance

Flat roofs are more aesthetically pleasing than other types of construction. They blend well with the architecture of your building and make your commercial building more attractive while simultaneously creating a safer work environment. Flat Roof Replacement can provide a seamless look with your existing building's architecture, allowing for a more attractive exterior without using building materials that will not withstand weather conditions such as rain, wind, or snow.

What To Know About Flat Roof Maintenance?
