WINDSOR, ONTARIO
A flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof that is commonly found on commercial or modern residential buildings (like warehouses, apartment buildings, schools, and new modern homes). When compared to other roofing slopes and materials, a flat roof is extremely versatile and has lower construction and repair costs.
As you might expect, the design of a flat roof makes it difficult for snow, rain, and ice slide off the roof. Because this is a common issue, the roof design and material must be carefully planned for each building individually in order for it to function properly. This requires a keen eye and an experienced team of roofing contractors, which Metal Roofing Windsor in Ontario provides!
Metal looks great on flat roofs with a low pitch. Because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff, low slope roofs are more prone to water damage. Water can penetrate the roof if it remains on the roof surface for an extended period of time, resulting in leaks and costly repairs. Since metal panels can be weathertight, it makes them the ideal roofing material for low-pitched roofs.

Our customers in Windsor, ON are always looking for roofing solutions for their property. When it comes to residential flat roofing, a flat roof can be used for more than just the roof of a house. For a shed, dormers, or overhanging structures such as porches, garages, or even balconies, a flat roof may be the best option.
It is important to note that not every metal roofing panel is suitable for use on a flat roof. Standing seam metal panels are the best choice for the job. Standing seam metal roofing is completely watertight and can withstand standing water due to its concealed fastening system. Also, by using hidden fasteners, it eliminates any screw penetrations on the surface where water could potentially seep through.
With a snap lock standing seam profile, the metal panels are secured together by snapping together on one side. When the panels are longer than 40 feet, we use float clips, which allow the roof metal to expand and contract.
Although snap lock is a very secure roofing system, it is not as watertight as mechanically seamed because it lacks the extra seaming. As a result, snap lock performs better in milder climates with less snow and rain. Snap lock, on the other hand, is simpler to install due to fewer steps and labour.
Mechanically locked standing seam profiles are classified into two types: single lock (90-degree seam) and double lock (180-degree seam). Both panels can be locked together mechanically or manually. Regardless of the method, the edges are bent and the two panels are joined with a hidden clipping mechanism.
Because of the way the panels are fastened together, mechanically locked is the most weather resistant standing seam roof and is less likely to leak. This is an important factor when dealing with a flat roofing system because there will be standing water.
