Common questions
How long does a flat roof last
A well installed membrane gives twenty to thirty years. Standing water and foot traffic are what shorten it.
Can I walk on my flat roof
Some membranes take traffic and some do not. Ask before you put anything up there, including a satellite dish.
What is the difference between EPDM and TPO
EPDM is a black rubber sheet that is simple and proven. TPO is a white welded sheet that reflects heat, so it runs cooler in summer.
