Flat Roofs & Felt Roofing in Nottingham & Derby

Flat Roof vs Felt Roof: What’s the Difference?

A flat roof is a nearly level roofing system commonly used on residential and commercial buildings for its practical design and efficient use of space. It can be finished with materials such as felt, asphalt, or EPDM rubber, all providing reliable waterproof protection when properly installed. Flat roofs are a cost-effective and versatile option, ideal for extensions, garages, and larger buildings. They are often integrated with roof leadwork at key junctions to ensure watertight sealing, particularly where flat surfaces meet vertical structures or transition into slating or tiling systems, helping prevent water ingress and maintain structural stability.

A felt roof is a type of flat roofing system made by layering bitumen-based felt to create a strong, waterproof surface. It is a traditional and widely used material known for being affordable, durable, and reliable. Modern felt roofs offer long-lasting weather protection when installed by professionals and are commonly used on extensions, garages, sheds, porches, and commercial buildings where a tough, weather-resistant covering is needed.
