Why Choose Flat Roofing Systems?
Superior Waterproofing
Flat roofing systems are designed with fully sealed membranes that create a continuous waterproof barrier. When installed correctly, they protect your home or building from leaks, moisture intrusion, and long-term structural damage — even during heavy rain or snow melt.
Built for Low-Slope Roofs
Unlike pitched roofing, flat roofs require specialized materials that perform well on low or zero slopes. Flat roofing membranes are engineered to handle standing water, temperature fluctuations, and expansion without cracking or separating.
Fire-Resistant Materials
Most modern flat roofing systems use fire-rated materials that help slow the spread of flames and improve overall building safety. This adds an extra layer of protection, especially for residential additions, garages, and commercial buildings.
Withstands Canadian Climate
Flat roofing systems are designed to handle extreme temperature changes, freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and UV exposure. High-quality membranes remain flexible in cold weather and resist damage from heat, ice, wind, and hail.
Low Maintenance & Easy Repairs
Flat roofs are easy to inspect and maintain. If damage occurs, repairs are typically localized and straightforward — no need to replace large sections of the roof. Regular inspections help extend the lifespan and prevent costly issues.
Impact-Absorbing Surface
Unlike brittle materials, flat roofing membranes are flexible and designed to absorb impact. This helps reduce damage from hailstones, flying debris, and sudden weather events — a huge advantage in Calgary’s frequent hailstorms.
Leak Protection
Modern flat roofing systems use heat-welded or bonded seams that create a single continuous waterproof surface. These seams are often stronger than the membrane itself, reducing one of the most common causes of roof leaks.
Usable Rooftop Space
In addition to supporting HVAC equipment and solar panels, flat roofs can be designed for active use — including rooftop patios, terraces, gardens, green roofs, and even pools. This makes flat roofing an ideal choice for modern homes and commercial buildings where functionality and lifestyle matter.

FAQ
What is flat roofing and how is it different from sloped roofing?
Flat roofing refers to low-slope roofing systems designed to provide waterproof protection on roofs with minimal pitch. Unlike sloped roofs that shed water quickly, flat roofing systems rely on sealed membranes such as EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen to prevent water penetration.
How long does flat roofing last in Calgary?
The lifespan of flat roofing in Calgary depends on the system installed. EPDM roofing and rubber roofing systems typically last 25–40 years when properly installed and maintained. Torch-on systems may last 20–30 years, depending on exposure and maintenance.
What is EPDM rubber roofing?
EPDM rubber roofing is a single-ply synthetic membrane known for flexibility and durability. EPDM roofing performs exceptionally well in Calgary’s freeze-thaw climate because it remains flexible in extreme cold and resists cracking.
Is rubber roofing a good option for residential homes?
Yes. Rubber roofing, especially EPDM rubber roofing, is ideal for residential additions, garages, and low-slope sections of homes. It provides excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
How much does rubber roofing cost in Calgary?
Rubber roofing cost varies based on roof size, insulation requirements, and access. In Calgary, EPDM roofing typically ranges from $8 to $14 per square foot. A detailed inspection is required for accurate pricing.
What flat roofing services do you provide?
We provide complete flat roofing services including flat roofing installation, flat roofing repairs, membrane replacement, leak detection, and preventative maintenance for residential and commercial properties.
Do flat roofs leak more than sloped roofs?
Flat roofs do not leak more when properly installed. Most issues occur due to poor installation, aging materials, or inadequate drainage. Professional flat roofing installation with sealed seams and proper slope prevents water intrusion.
How do I know if I need flat roofing repairs?
Signs you may need flat roofing repairs include ponding water, visible membrane cracks, bubbling, interior water stains, or flashing damage. Early repairs can significantly extend the life of your flat roofing system.
