Flat roofs are a popular choice for many commercial and industrial buildings across Edmonton and surrounding areas—and for good reason. Compared to sloped roofs, flat roofing systems offer easier access for maintenance, cost-effective installation, and excellent durability when built with quality materials. At Albatross Roofing & Construction Ltd., we install flat roofs designed to withstand harsh elements such as hail, wind, fire, chemical exposure, foot traffic, and impact damage.
You’ll often see flat roofs on large-scale commercial buildings like shopping centres, hospitals, schools, office towers, and warehouses, as well as on modern residential properties with contemporary architectural styles.
While flat roofs come with many benefits, they do have some vulnerabilities. The most common issue is water accumulation. Unlike pitched roofs, flat roofs don’t shed rainwater as efficiently, which can lead to pooling. If not addressed, standing water can penetrate the surface and result in leaks, mold growth, and deterioration of the membrane over time.
Strong winds can also pose a threat, especially if the roofing system already has weak points. Without a sloped design to divert air flow, flat roofs can experience uplift or membrane damage during storms.
In addition to water and wind, flat roofs face challenges from constant sun exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and ongoing foot traffic for HVAC or maintenance access. Over time, these factors can lead to blistering, cracking, or weakening of the roofing material.
That’s why regular inspections are essential. At Albatross Roofing, we help you stay ahead of potential damage with proactive flat roof assessments, ensuring your building stays protected year-round.
