With roofing accounting for a substantial part of the cost, it makes sense to choose an option that balances both affordability and durability
Building an extension on your home can be an expensive process and most people are restricted by cost when choosing both the size and style of their project.
With roofing accounting for a substantial part of the cost, it makes sense to choose an option that balances both affordability and durability.
Here at High-Tech Membrane Roofing Ltd we specialise in the installation of maintenance-free PVC single-ply flat roofing systems across the Basildon area and beyond.
These roofing systems are more cost effective in comparison to a pitched roof and can be fitted more quickly, which is a bonus if you’re itching to transform your new space into an additional living area.
Our unique systems quash previous myths about flat roofing being prone to leaking and not lasting as long. In fact, these systems have a much longer life span than more traditional materials and offer a greater degree of protection against the elements.
High-Tech PVC membranes are engineered to form a stable waterproof covering to your flat roof and its performance is unaffected by expansion and contraction. It is also fully protected against damaging solar rays and the very worst of British weather.
A titanium dioxide top layer provides optimum UV resistance and is solar reflective, never requiring any type of covering such as stone chippings, solar paint or any other type of protective coating.
High-tech flat-roofing membranes are vapour permeable making it 100% resistant to blistering and as it is a breathable product it will eliminate the risk of condensation.
Flat roofs can give a modern edge to an extension and can blend in well with existing architecture, even if the rest of the property has a pitched roof.
They are perfect for businesses wanting to expand commercial space such as restaurants and bars because of the speed at which they can be installed. A pitched roof requires considerably more timber and additional time and cost to lay tiles.
They are also considered low maintenance and are much easier to clean because they are flat as opposed to pitched, which is an important consideration in catering businesses where the look of premises makes a statement about the quality of food or drink on offer.
Flat roofing systems also provide unique decorating possibilities that pitched roofs do not, and can be customised to blend in with existing décor or create a completely unique space to separate an eating area from a bar area, for instance.
