Roof Systems
We specialise in all types of roofing systems, installation, and repairs.
Types of Flat Roofs and Materials:
• Built-Up Roofing (BUR): Traditional and durable, BUR consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics, offering excellent waterproofing.
• Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit): An evolution of BUR, Mod-Bit incorporates polymerized bitumen for enhanced flexibility and ease of installation.
• Single-Ply Membranes:
• Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO): Known for its heat-reflective properties and energy efficiency.
• Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): A synthetic rubber offering durability and resistance to weathering.
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Provides strong resistance to fire, chemicals, and punctures.
• Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP): A lightweight, durable option suitable for small domestic installations.
• Metal Roofing: Materials like steel, aluminum, zinc, and copper offer longevity and a modern aesthetic.
