Flat Roofing Solutions

Flat roofing is a durable and practical option for residential and commercial properties in Ireland, commonly used on extensions, garages, and commercial buildings. Proper materials and expert installation are essential for long-term performance in Ireland’s weather.

At RoofClad.ie, we install proven flat roofing systems including two-ply modified bitumen, PVC, EPDM rubber, and fibreglass liquid roofing, offering reliable, low-maintenance solutions built to last.

Two Ply Modified Bitumen

Description:
Two-ply modified bitumen roofing consists of two layers of asphalt-based sheets, typically reinforced with polyester or fiberglass. The layers are heat-welded or adhered together to create a durable waterproof barrier.

Advantages:

  • Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to weathering.

  • Flexibility: Adapts well to building movements and temperature changes.

  • Cost-Effective: Generally lower installation costs compared to some other systems.

  • Easy Repair: Damaged areas can be easily repaired without replacing the entire roof.

  • Good Insulation: Provides decent thermal insulation properties, enhancing energy efficiency.

Expected Lifespan: 20 - 25 years

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Description:
PVC roofing systems consist of a single-ply membrane made from polyvinyl chloride. These membranes are typically heat-welded at the seams, creating a strong, waterproof layer.

Advantages:

  • Energy Efficiency: Reflective surface helps reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight.

  • Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for commercial settings.

  • Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to other roofing types.

  • Lightweight: Easier to handle and install due to its lighter weight.

  • Long-lasting Seams: The heat-welded seams provide excellent waterproofing and durability.

Expected Lifespan: 15 - 20 years

Liquid Applied Fiberglass/GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)

Description:
This system involves applying a liquid resin and fiberglass mat to create a seamless, waterproof membrane. Once cured, it forms a strong and durable surface.

Advantages:

  • Seamless Finish: No seams or joints, reducing the risk of leaks.

  • Versatile: Can be applied to complex shapes and details easily.

  • Durability: Resistant to UV light, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations.

  • Customizable: Can be tailored to fit unique roof shapes and designs.

  • Quick Application: Can often be applied in a single day, reducing installation time.

Expected Lifespan: 20-25 years

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)

Description:
EPDM is a single-ply membrane made from synthetic rubber. It is available in black or white and is commonly used for both commercial and residential flat roofs.

Advantages:

  • Longevity: Can last 30 years or more with proper maintenance.

  • Weather Resistant: Excellent resistance to UV radiation and ozone, making it suitable for various climates.

  • Ease of Installation: Lightweight and easy to install, often available in large sheets.

  • Cost-Effective: Lower lifetime costs due to its durability and minimal maintenance needs.

  • Energy Efficient: Available in white, which helps reflect sunlight and reduce cooling costs.

Expected Lifespan: 20 - 25 years
