FAQ: Soprema Roofing & Flat Roof Systems

What types of flat roofs does Soprema manufacture?

Soprema produces various membrane types including SBS and APP modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and PVC. Each has advantages for different applications and climates.

Which membrane is best for Ottawa?

For Ottawa's freeze-thaw climate, modified bitumen or TPO membranes typically perform well. We recommend SBS modified bitumen for superior flexibility in cold temperatures. Our team will assess your specific situation.

How long does a flat roof last?

Soprema membrane roofs typically last 15-25+ years depending on the membrane type, climate, maintenance, and drainage design. Proper maintenance extends lifespan significantly.

Do flat roofs leak more than sloped roofs?

Properly installed and maintained flat roofs with good drainage are reliable. However, drainage is critical - water ponding will shorten lifespan. Professional installation is essential.

What are the benefits of flat roof applications?

Flat roofs offer versatile applications including solar panel installation, rooftop equipment placement, and modern aesthetic designs. Soprema offers solutions engineered for various flat roof applications.

How much maintenance does a flat roof require?

Regular maintenance is important: inspect annually, clear debris and standing water, maintain drainage systems, and address any issues promptly. We can provide maintenance recommendations.

Is professional installation required?

Absolutely. Flat roof installation requires specialized expertise, proper seaming techniques, and attention to detail. Improper installation leads to premature failure. We use factory-trained installers.

Can you add insulation to my flat roof?

Yes, Soprema offers integrated insulation solutions. Upgrading insulation improves energy efficiency and can extend membrane lifespan by reducing temperature stress.
