    Flat Roof

    Flat roofs have a gradient or slope of less than 10 degrees. They consist of a structure, roofing, and insulation system. The structure can be made from timber, concrete, or steel and is constructed similarly to floor structures. Roofing comes in three types - single sheet materials like metal, multiple layer materials like built-up felt, and monolithic materials like mastic asphalt. Insulation can be installed above or below the roof deck and includes materials like fiberglass wool or foam boards.

    Roofing Insulation System


    • 3 Types: • Can be installed either :
    • Single sheet material – Above the roof deck or
    – metal sheet – Below the roof deck
    • Multiple layer material • Material:
    – Bituminous felt – Glass fibre wool
    • Monolithic material – Low density PVC board
    – Asphalt layer
    – Light weight cement screed
    – Water proof cement render

    Roofing: Single Sheet Material (Metal


    Insulation System
    Sheet)
    • Normally for small span timber flat roof
    • Lead, copper, aluminium and zinc
    • Laid on a layer of felt (underlay)
    • Wooden rolls – nail to the deck parallel to the
    direction of fall

    Roofing: Multiple Layer Material Built-up felt roofing


    • Built-up felt roofing
    1st layer of felt
    • Suitable for any type of decking
    • Available in rolls – 1m width, 10/20/30m 2nd layer of felt Timber deck
    length
    • 1st layer - Laid on deck – nailed or bonded to
    the deck with hot bitumen 3rd layer of felt
    • Side lap 75mm. End lap 50mm
    • 2nd and 3rd layer laid on the 1st layer and Bitumen layer
    bonded with hot bitumen
    Stone chippings

    Built-up felt roofing Built-up felt roofing


    • When used on concrete slab – need vapour
    barrier (avoid blistering)
    • Protection on top of the felt – layer of stone
    chippings bedded in bitumen

    Roofing: Monolithic material Roofing: Monolithic material


    • Mastic asphalt • Suitable for most roof decking
    • Mixture of bitumen + aggregate – Structure must be strong enough
    • Bitumen – black water-resisting material – Slope not less than 1:80
    which softens when heated and is derived • Isolating membrane / sheathing felt
    either naturally or from the distillation of
    petroleum • Mastic asphalt – heated (until soft)
    • Aggregate – limestone / bitumen treated • Apply on the sheathing felt – wood float
    limestone (asphalt rock) (wooden trowel)
    • In two coats – 10mm thick each
    • Layer of protective stone chippings

    Roofing: Monolithic material Mastic asphalt on timber deck


    • On concrete slab – vapour barrier is needed
