Brad Cook: Flat Roof Materials Pt 2 by Brad Cook

Brad Cook explains that modified bitumen can easily be installed by those who have some experience in home improvements and have already carried out a number of home improvement jobs successfully. Brad Cook goes on to explain that it used to be that you needed to use a torch to burn this material onto your roof but this has changed with the introduction of adhesive options. You can also have it in light colors which can help reflect sunlight off your roof and prevent you from having to use the air-conditioning too much in the summer.

Another option is to use a rubber membrane which you use to coat your roof. Brad Cook notes that it is a very successful flat roofing material as it is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. If you do develop a leak then they aren’t very difficult to locate or fix but unfortunately the cost is a lot more. If you choose a black rubber membrane you will find that heat is absorbed form the sun which isn’t that great in summer. Brad Cook informs that if you want to pay extra, however, you can buy one which is lighter in color.

We have a lead flat roof and unfortunately have had a problem or two. Brad Cook highlights that if it is installed by someone who actually knows what they are doing and puts some thought and consideration into it then they aren’t too bad. Unfortunately the person who did a section of roof for us didn’t take away the old layer of lead underneath. Brad Cook found that the result was that the lead didn’t sit flat and allowed water to get underneath. We had to get someone else up to take it all off, replace rotten wood and then lay the lead sheeting down correctly. Brad Cook adds that anyone who installs a lead flat roof also needs to be very gentle with it because it’s actually quite soft, especially when you are working with heavy tools.
