Flat Roof Systems

Flat Roof Systems is a roofing construction methodology characterized by a near-horizontal surface with minimal slope, designed to maximize usable space and facilitate mechanical equipment placement, distinguished from pitched roof systems by its emphasis on waterproofing membranes and drainage planning over gravitational runoff.
