Benefits of Flat Roofing
Flat roofs are commonly used for commercial and industrial buildings, but they can be great options for residential structures like garages, extensions, or even modern-style homes. Explore the benefits of flat roofing before deciding if it’s the right choice for you.
Energy-efficient: Flat roofs absorb less heat than most other roofing systems. When insulated, they become even more efficient, which often means lower energy costs.
Outdoor Space: Flat roofs offer unique outdoor space on top of buildings, such as rooftop gardens or patios.
Wind Resistant: Given their near-flat structure, flat roofs are less vulnerable to wind damage than other roofing systems.
Types of Flat Roofing
Oaks Roofing & Siding offers two types of flat roofing: EPDM and TPO. Learn more about each one and their pros and cons to understand their differences. Keep in mind that both of these options require professional installation to ensure its longevity. If you’re looking for flat roofing, schedule an estimate with Oaks. Your dedicated project estimator can help you decide which is the best option for your home or building.
Rubber (EPDM) Roofs
What Is EDPM Roofing?
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) roofs are durable, synthetic rubber roofing membranes. They are available in black or with an additional white layer on top.
Pros
- Durable, reliable, and sustainable
- Resistant to UV rays and harsh weather
- Cost-effective with a long lifespan
- Low maintenance
Cons
- Black EPDM roofs readily absorb heat which can impact energy efficiency in warmer climates
- Can shrink over time, causing gaps and leaks
- Prone to punctures
TPO Roofs
What Is TPO Roofing?
Made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofs provide a flexible, waterproof membrane.
Pros
- Highly durable and resistant to UV rays and harsh weather
- Energy-efficient because they reflect sunlight away from the building
- Low maintenance
Cons
- Higher initial cost and shorter lifespan than EPDM roofs
- Can become brittle or shrink over time, causing gaps and leaks
- Seaming failure in regions with temperature fluctuation
- Prone to punctures

How long do flat roofs last?
The longevity of your flat roof depends on the material, maintenance, and climate.
The average lifespan of our flat roofing offerings are:
- EPDM: 25-30 years
- TPO: 15-20 years
How do I repair a leaking flat roof?
Fixing a leak in a flat roof can be complicated. It’s best to contact a professional for an evaluation to ensure safety and efficiency. From there, an expert can properly prepare the area, apply the correct type of sealant, and reinforce and monitor the repair.
