Flat roofs are horizontal and have minimal slope to allow for drainage. Flat roofs have difficulty supporting the weight of snow, are supported by ceiling joists, and have no rafters.

Flat roofs require a slight slope to prevent water from pooling, and require a waterproofing membrane and additional flashing to prevent water leaks.

Thanks to the flat roof, this is a rooftop garden where pets and children cannot step on it. The flat roof really contrasts and showcases the surrounding landscape.

This modern flat roof has no eaves. Flat roofs work best in climates that rarely rain. We call it a “level”, but technically you need a slope of at least 1 inch per 8 feet.

Rooftop gardens offer a lot of energy efficiency. Rooftop gardens store rainwater in leaves to reduce noise and also have thermal properties.

The reduced surface area of a flat roof limits how hot your home gets during the day and reflects the sun’s rays.
