Low Slopes

Home / Glossary

Low slopes refer to roofs that have a relatively gentle slope or pitch, typically with a slope of less than 3:12 (14 degrees). Low slope roofs are commonly used in a variety of building types, including commercial buildings, residential buildings, and industrial facilities.

The primary advantage of a low slope roof is its practicality and versatility. Low slope roofs are easier and less expensive to construct than steeper pitched roofs, and can be used in a wide range of building styles and applications. They are also easier to access and maintain than steeper roofs, making them a practical choice for buildings with large or complex roof structures.

However, low slope roofs also present some challenges and require specialized installation and maintenance to prevent water infiltration and other issues. Because low slope roofs are more susceptible to water buildup and pooling, proper drainage is critical to prevent damage to the roofing materials and underlying structure. Specialized roofing materials and techniques, such as built-up roofing, modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes, are commonly used in low slope roofing applications to ensure proper drainage and water resistance.

Overall, low slope roofs are a practical and versatile choice for many building types, and are commonly used in a variety of roofing applications. Proper installation and maintenance of low slope roofs is critical to their long-term durability and performance.
