FOR A DURABLE PERFORMANCE

Concrete tiles are durable through rain, snow, high wind providing years of worry free performance. Roof systems created with this material can help lower energy costs by reducing heat transfer through air circulation beneath the tile and through concretes inherent insulation properties. When you consider that a concrete tile roof will last for the life of the structure, the fill lifecycle cost of the roof is quite affordable as compared to other roofing materials.

ENERGY EFFICIENT & DURABLE

Natural slate, fine resistance, energy efficiency (due to its thermal resistance) and durability. Well fitted slates can out-live the rest of the building, often requiring minimal maintenance, while being the most environmentally friendly product on the market.

 PERFECT FOR COMPLEX STRUCTURES

Liquid roofing is a new and growing alternative roofing method, especially suitable for when the roof is a complex structure. Liquid roof coatings are applied directly onto the roof deck, and the coating then spreads to create a single seamless cover. Although potentially more costly to buy the product, it is a lot less labour intensive so can reduce time and labour costs. Additionally, it allows moisture from within the building to escape whilst being waterproof from the outside and has high elasticity strength to allow for natural roof movements. Liquid roofing tends to be durable, waterproof and weather resistant, and can last 25 years or more.

STRONG & EASY TO REPAIR

Another alternative when looking to install a flat roof is fiberglass roofing. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is composed of strands of glass that combine to form layers of fiberglass. Although one of the more expensive forms of roofing material, they can be laid in one to two simple layers that are light and strong, and it has a smooth, aesthetic finish and is easy to patch repair.

Expected life span varies but is often 20-30 years, and maintenance is relatively easy. Most well suited to smaller roofs because on large areas they can become weak due to expansion and contraction. As with EPDM, fiberglass roofing will need to be installed by professionals.

HIGHLY WATER RESISTANT

EPDM is a form of rubber roofing. Although there are alternatives, such as PVC and Neoprene, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is the most common. The biggest draw to EPDM is its water resistance – it is resistant to saltwater and freshwater, and it is also used as seals, pond liners, tubing and more. EPDM is perfect for low sloping roofs, and one major advantage is that it can often be installed as one whole sheet, allowing you to cover the whole roof and removing the concern for waterproofing seams.

Additionally, EPDM is environmentally friendly, as it consists of recycled rubber materials, and takes very little energy to manufacture. They also maintain the heat in cold weather, keeping down heating costs, and the thick rubber can keep out the heat in the Summer. The estimated lifetime of an EPDM roof is 30-50 years, and repairs can be done simply by homeowners. However, it is recommended that the initial instalment is undertaken by professionals. Although the rubber coating may be unappealing to look at, it can be painted in a variety of colours.
