Flat Roof & Low-Slope Roofing in Connecticut

What Is a Flat or Low-Slope Roof?

A new flat roof installation using high-quality materials for lasting durability.

A flat roof is a low-slope roofing system that appears level but has a slight pitch that allows for proper drainage. While common on commercial buildings, flat roofs are also used on garages, porches, sheds, dormers, and modern-style homes. They require specialized materials and installation methods, including built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, EPDM rubber, PVC, TPO, or spray polyurethane foam (SPF). Each option offers different benefits, depending on the building size, budget, energy-efficiency goals, and maintenance preferences, making it important to choose the right system for long-term performance.

Why Flat & Low-Slope Roofs Are Installed

Flat roofing offers a range of practical and aesthetic advantages that make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties:

• Clean, modern appearance: Flat roofs complement contemporary architecture, offering a sleek, minimalist look.
• Great for large roof areas & smaller structures: Flat roofing is a practical choice for additions, porches, commercial properties, or structures and extensions where pitched roofs aren't necessary
• Easier access for rooftop equipment: A flat roof ensures easier access to HVAC units and other equipment, simplifying installation, maintenance, and repairs
• Efficient use of space: A flat roof means more space can be used for storage, rooftop patios, or utility areas

Flat/Low-Slope Roofing Systems We Install or Service

Flat and low-slope roofing systems require a specialized approach to ensure long-term performance and protection. At Brown Roofing Company, Inc., we install high-quality flat roofing systems using EPDM and SBS materials, both of which are designed to withstand the demands of Connecticut’s climate.

EPDM Flat Roofing

EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber membrane widely used for flat and low-slope roofs. It is known for its flexibility, weather resistance, and ability to perform well in a variety of environmental conditions.

EPDM creates a continuous, watertight surface that helps protect against rain, snow, and standing water. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to temperature changes without cracking or splitting, making it well-suited for Connecticut’s seasonal climate.
Brown Roofing Company, Inc. installs EPDM systems with a focus on proper seam sealing, secure edge detailing, and reinforced flashing at all critical transition points.

SBS Flat Roofing

SBS or styrene-butadiene-styrene modified bitumen roofing is a multi-layer system designed to provide enhanced strength and durability. It combines asphalt with rubber modifiers to improve flexibility and resistance to temperature fluctuations.

This system is particularly effective for flat roofs that require added reinforcement and long-term performance. SBS roofing forms a resilient surface capable of handling foot traffic, weather exposure, and structural movement.

Our installation process emphasizes proper adhesion, consistent layering, and detailed flashing work to ensure a reliable and long-lasting roofing system.
