Advantages of Low Slope Metal Roofs:

• Years of low cost and low maintenance
• Allow water better runoff as compared to flat roof
• Long service life
• Recyclable
• Less weight on overall structure
• Low life cycle cost
• Essentially you can have an additional floor of space as compared to when a steep slope roof is utilized

Considerations for Low Slope Metal Roofs:

• Care must be taken to ensure all flashings are fabricated properly and installed to allow water flow
• Attention must be given to ensure that debris is not allowed to build up that would hinder water flow
• Sealants applied properly and at all critical locations
• Complexity with many roof penetrations

Common Applications:

• Warehouses
• Schools
• Office buildings
• Industrial
• Shopping centers
• Residences
• Metal building community

Low Slope Retrofit Open Framing:

• No removal/disposal of old roof system
• Minimal weight added to existing roof structure
• New insulation/waterproofing is able to be installed over existing flat roof
• Existing structure is never open to the elements during renovation
