Flat Roofs provide broad horizontal lines to reflect natural landscape lines. These roofing systems can be found predominantly throughout most cities and the West. The flat roof systems are often seen on institutional buildings and residential living buildings.
The most important feature to different styles of Flat Roofs is waterproofing.
As water tends to pool along the roof surface, it is important to view the different systems of roofing available to understand the differences to best suit your style and size of home.
