If you own a house it\u2019s fairly likely that you also have a flat roof. This might be on top of a garage, porch, shed or extension.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of reroofing or installing a new flat roof, it\u2019s important that you get the right roofing material for you. Things to consider include how long they last, how easy they are to repair and how much they cost.<\/p>\n

But when researching roofing materials, you may come across words and phrases you don\u2019t know or understand. To help you in your search for the right flat roofing material, we\u2019ve come up with 10 flat roofing terms and definitions you need to know.<\/p>\n

1. Single ply membrane<\/h5>\n

Single ply membranes are roofing materials that come in one single layer. They are waterproof, and include EMPD rubber, PVC, TPO and TPE. Single ply membranes are often more expensive than other flat roofing materials. But they tend to need less maintenance and last longer.<\/p>\n

2. UV light damage<\/h5>\n

The sun gives out UV (ultraviolet) light. This can cause radiation damage to flat roofs. Over time it will break down chemical bonds in the roofing material, which can lead to weakening, warping and leaking. To protect your roof from UV damage, you can apply solar reflective paint or chippings.<\/p>\n

3. Substrate<\/h5>\n

The substrate is the part of a flat roof that the surfacing material attaches to. It\u2019s usually made up of gypsum or plywood boards.<\/p>\n

4. Alligatoring<\/h5>\n

Alligatoring refers to cracks in asphalt. It\u2019s so called because the cracking can resemble scales, as it doesn\u2019t go all the way down to the roof base. Alligatoring needs rectifying before the damage gets worse and leads to leaks in your roof.

5. Blistering<\/h5>\n

Blistering is when bubbles appear in roofing materials. This is usually due to air or moisture trapped under the surface.<\/p>\n

6. Canopy<\/h5>\n

A canopy is where a roof structure projects or overhangs off a building. Canopies are usually over entrances and unsupported at the far end.<\/p>\n

7. Joist<\/h5>\n

A joist is a beam that supports a floor, ceiling or roof. It\u2019s usually made out of wood or metal.<\/p>\n

8. Lap seam<\/h5>\n

A lap seam is where overlapping pieces of roofing material join together.<\/p>\n

9. Mansard Roof<\/h5>\n

A Mansard Roof is a sloped roof that turns into a flat roof at its highest point.<\/p>\n

10. Ponding<\/h5>\n

Ponding is when rain water collects on your flat roof and hasn\u2019t drained off after 48 hours. Ponding can weaken your roof, especially in freezing conditions. You don\u2019t have to act immediately if you notice ponding on your roof, but you should keep an eye out for damage. If you\u2019re having the roof replaced you should make the roofer aware of the problem so they can rectify it.<\/p>\n
