Better For Small Buildings
Flat roofs are typically only recommended for smaller buildings. Although they are an option for bigger buildings, these conditions usually come with additional requirements. In these cases, the building’s weight distribution needs to be modified to create the proper conditions for a flat roof.
Limited Longevity
Flat roofs last for about 25 years on average. While this might make them seem undesirable, it should be noted that their lower price tag counterbalances this con. The replacement and repair processes for a flat roof are cheaper, meaning that any future work will be affordable. At LOA flat roof repair & installation in San Antonio is much cheaper and takes less time to complete.
Membrane Shrinkage
The membranes used in flat roof systems are especially vulnerable to UV radiation, which can cause them to shrink over time. If this shrinkage is extensive, hail can become a concern. Those living in hail-prone climates should keep this in mind.
