Flat roofing is a whole other animal from residential shingle roofing. Flat roofing is not only important for keeping the elements out, as illustrated above, but also for ensuring the safety of the premises and all that work within them as well as helping the environment to remain intact as well. Flat Roofing is also referred to as Low-Sloped Roofing by many in the roofing industry.

Flat roofing is constructed with a continuous membrane covering, which better resist pools of standing water. Flat roofing is installed by using layers of hot tar and roofing felt alternately and then covering this with a layer of gravel. Flat roofing is also known as tar or gravel roofing because of the gravel layering that they have which helps minimize damage from the sun. Flat roofing is a process where several roofing components are layered to construct an excellent barrier from outside elements. Flat roofing is more vulnerable to leaks most especially because there is no decline for water, snow, and debris to flow down. Flat roofing is used largely in commercial buildings and in areas of low precipitation.
Flat roofing is a good application for IRT, it can show you exactly where insulation is missing, wet, or help find areas with trapped water. One of the advantages of flat roofing is that it does not require any heavy duty maintenance, which minimizes up keep costs. Flat roofing is sometimes also referred to as tar or gravel roofing due to the fact that gravel layering is used to help minimize damage from the sun. Flat roofing is popular in the desert southwest United States where there is significantly less precipitation than in other parts of the country. The key feature of thermoplastics for flat roofing is that when the material is heated, it goes into a semi solid state, which allows the edges of panels to be fused together, returning to a solid state when the material cools. Today, flat roofing is made with a continuous membrane which is not highly susceptible to weather and wear, so leaks and water damage is minimal. The key to quality flat roofing is drainage, as specially structured flat roof designs must compensate for a lack of incline in the original architecture of the building. However, this doesn't have to be the case, flat roofing is an established building technique and when serviced properly, should last for a good number of years.
