What is a Flat Roof Extension?
Unlike traditional building roofs which angle steeply down to collect and deal with water in a guttering system, a flat roof extension simply uses a flat roof (with a slight angle) that can also deal with drainage and water control well.
In recent years, flat roof extensions have gained a lot of popularity due to their stylish and on-trend nature. An added advantage is that they are usually the most cost-effective method to create some additional space in your home. This is due to less material involved, labour and time. Additionally, the materials we use at Chorley Rooftech are made from varied materials, in order to ensure that they stay watertight.
Flat roofs can still accommodate rooflights
Also, flat roofs can still accommodate rooflights, which means you can reap all the benefits that a rooflight affords without needing a pitched roof. In fact, you’ve got more options open to you than a pitched roof extension.
Moreover, Chorley Rooftech uses GRP/Fibre Glass and Firestone Rubbercover EPDM on flat roof extensions, as this system is based on high-performing EPDM rubber membranes. Also, includes a limited range of accessories offering a watertight and durable roofing solution. Making it the ideal solution for small residential flat roofs and other extensions, verandas, dormers, porches, garages, carports, garden sheds, balconies, gutters, and trailers.
Why install a flat roof extension?
Building a new extension creates more space and is a fantastic way of revitalising your home. As well as providing all that extra living space that is bursting with potential! In addition, flat roofs require much less structural reinforcement. This means that you’re free to experiment with less traditional extension shapes and floor plans if you choose to build a flat roof extension. Most importantly, compared to other extension types, a typical flat roof extension cost is very affordable too.
Need a bigger house but worried about the cost? A flat roof extension offers so much in terms of extra space and is perfect for growing families. Also, a great alternative to moving to a larger house and is financially cheaper. This is particularly important if your children are settled in the local school or you are happy in your local area and have friendly, neighbors.
As an alternative to pitched roofs, flat roofs are easier to install and give you the option to later build a terrace above your flat roof extension. As well, can be eco-friendly, by having the option of giving it a green roof by planting it with moss and grass. So, if you choose to invest in one, a green roof will help to reduce CO2 levels and provide great insulation for your extension. Furthermore, a flat roof extension will increase the value of your home which is great if you ever do decide to sell in the future.
