Sloped Roofs vs Flat Roofs, What’s the Difference?
Understanding the key differences between sloped and flat roofing systems can help you determine the best fit for your building’s design and function.
Sloped Roofs
Sloped Roofs provide natural water runoff, reducing the risk of ponding and moisture damage. They offer high aesthetic value, especially for visible or customer-facing properties. With materials like asphalt shingles and metal panels, sloped roofs can last 20 to 50 years, depending on maintenance and material type.
Flat Roofs
Flat Roofs rely on engineered drainage systems to manage water flow and are common on large commercial buildings due to ease of access and utility placement. While their aesthetic appeal is moderate, they typically last 20 to 30 years and are built using materials like TPO, EPDM, PVC, and SPF.
