Flat Roof Construction Options & Advice

Flat roof construction is the ‘simplest’ form of roof construction, and therefore the least expensive. However, there are many different installation options that should be considered before beginning the construction process, such as its pitch – which will influence its weather durability, fire and acoustic performance options, insulation and thermal performance, and of course, strength.
