"<p>Due to the low angle of a flat roof, you’ll need to use materials designed for low pitched applications. These materials will need to withstand challenges such as ponding water and debris build-up.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Below are a few <a href=\"https://www.roofingmegastore.co.uk/blog/best-flat-roof-materials.html\">the best flat roofing materials</a>. Each has been ‘tried and tested’ for decades, ensuring your roof is watertight and demands little maintenance. These choices suit various budgets and skill levels.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h4>EPDM</h4>\r\n<p>The most common type of flat roofing material is EPDM, a rubber membrane manufactured from ethylene and propylene. This membrane is fully waterproof, very tough, and incredibly long-lasting.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Unlike other materials, EPDM can be easily installed by both homeowners and tradespeople. Once installed, you can expect your rubber membrane to provide a lifespan of up to 50 years with virtually no maintenance.</p>\r\n<h4>Fibreglass&nbsp;</h4>\r\n<p>Another popular solution for flat roofs is fibreglass, a wet-applied membrane that combines glass fibres and polyester. This membrane is fully waterproof, easily maintained, and a long-term solution.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>In addition to offering a lifespan far shorter than alternatives, GRP supplies they can be far more challenging to apply. This is as the various resins must be formulated on-site and conditions must be perfectly suited.</p>\r\n<h4>Tar and Gravel</h4>\r\n<p>Whilst tar and gravel roofs are more common in the United States, you may find them throughout England, Wales and Scotland too. You build up multiple layers of tar and gravel to achieve a fully sealed, incredibly tough and low maintenance flat roof.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>By far the most difficult material to install, tar and gravel roofs typically demand the help of an experienced tradesperson. It is also accompanied by unpleasant smells and, in some cases, will demand several applications.&nbsp;</p>"
