Why Low-Slope Roofs Work Best for Commercial Buildings

Modified Bitumen roof

Kanga Roof, formerly Feller Roofing, doesn’t just install asphalt shingles; we can also install low-slope roofs for commercial buildings. Low-slope roofs, sometimes called flat roofs, offer many advantages for commercial properties. They are easier and more affordable to install compared with a sloped roof of equivalent size and easier to maintain.

What Are Low-Slope Roofs?

Low-slope roofs often appear completely flat with no pitch. However, they actually have a slight pitch to allow for water to drain from the roof. Low-slope roofs are well-suited for commercial buildings because of several factors: they provide maximum use of interior space from the floor to the ceiling and they allow for greater utilization of the roofing space. In addition, you can place heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning units on the roof.

Low-slope roofs also allow for easy access for maintenance professionals. Since the roof has a very low slope, it is also easier to work on compared with a pitched roof, making it easier to maintain. Installation of low-slope roofs like modified bitumen roofing is also quicker and less costly compared with a pitched roof of similar size. Lastly, there are plenty of energy-saving flat-roof options for commercial businesses that want to save money.

The Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing

One of the low-slope roof options we offer to our customers is modified bitumen roofing. Modified bitumen roofing is manufactured from asphalt, rubber, and specially-formulated solvents. It is very easy to repair and quick to install for experts like us. In addition, its durable seal keeps moisture from infiltrating your building while providing excellent insulation. Modified bitumen roofs also have a long service life, making it a sustainable roof material.
