Flat roofing is a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings, characterised by its smooth finishes and slight slope. Unlike traditional pitched roofs, flat roofs are designed with a slight incline – usually between 1 and 10 degrees – to allow water drainage while maintaining a sleek and modern appearance. They are usually finished with a felt covering.
