Owners of commercial facilities are often confused and dissatisfied with the kind of roofing structure they have. There is always a sound from inside that there could have been a better option and talking about better roof, the first thing to come to mind is metal roofing and that too, in the flat roof type.
People may have different opinions on this, but my vote goes to this type and there are a number of reasons behind this. Some of them are discussed here in this post.
INITIAL CONSTRUCTION COST-
The first reason is that the initial construction budget for flat metal roof is going to be right inside your control. People who assume that sloped roof is an ideal option should also assume along with that the cost of installation as well as maintenance is way too much. On the other hand, the one that we are discussing here is not that complex or expensive either to build.
ROOFTOP HVAC EQUIPMENT-
One more reason why metal roofers Sydney also recommend flat roof on commercial establishments is that this kind of roof becomes very easy to install the HVAC system on. This system is seen in almost every low-rise commercial building in Australia. This kind of roof is a secure place to install HVAC system and further, its maintenance, repair, replacement, everything becomes very easy.
SOLAR PANELS-
Just like the HVAC systems, these flat metal roofs allow a very easy place to install solar systems on and because of the flat structure, the solar panels can be positioned in the best manner. This means that these flat roofs will contribute enormously in cutting down a significant amount of energy consumption. However, one thing to note is that flat roof isn’t totally flat and there is a very insignificant slope to make drainage of rainwater very easily. But this slope has no role to play in the installation of heavy duty equipments like HVAC, solar systems and other things.
