Low Sloping & Flat Roofs can require Constant Repair and Maintenance;
that's why Global Home offers Headache Free Solutions!

Low Sloping and flat roofs can be extremely problematic for many homeowners since water sheds off the roof slower on low sloping roofs, giving them a higher probability of leaking. Once a flat roof starts to leak, water can damage the roof decking and threaten the integrity of the home.

Try Standing Seam Metal Roofing for Low Slopes

Standing seam metal can be applied to roofs with a slope as low as 1/4inch per foot because we give each roof a 180 degree mechanical seam. Best of all, low sloped metal roofs require no maintenance or upkeep, and will last a lifetime.

Bitumen Roof

Bitumen Roofing is an evolution of asphalt roofing that combines asphalt and a variety of modifiers. This roofing system uses a hot application process that melts membranes together to seal all seams and connection points. Over time bitumen roofs may develop blisters, or creases in the membrane which will lead to leaks. Regular inspection and repair of these blisters is recommended for bitumen roofing systems, and product warranties only last 10-12 years.

White TPO Roofs are an Energy Stat Alternative

TPO roofing is plastic sheets with hot air to create a continuous sheet membrane. TPO also exceeds the ENERGY STAR rating requirements for cool roofing, and have the capability to lower your cooling costs. TPO is not as durable as other roofing products and are vulnerable to impact from hail. TPO has only been around for about 10 years, so the lifespan of the product cannot be calculated.

Rubber Roofing

Rubber roofing is another option when replacing a roof that has a low slope. A seamless rubber membrane is installed over the roof which creates a waterproof seal. Over time rubber roofing will expand and contrast with the changes in temperature, which can cause cracking and leaking throughout the membrane. Cracks and breakdown of the rubber roofing can be repaired with a latex tape or sealant. Rubber roofs tend to leak at the seams due to adhesive failure as a result of ice and water. Since rubber roofs are black, they tend to hold heat and transfer it into your home.
