Since its development in the 1800s the low-slope, or “flat” roof has become the dominate roof configuration used in commercial and institutional buildings. During this time, the technology driving low-slope roofing also has evolved, from traditional “tar and gravel” roofs to modern single-ply roofing systems. As a result, today’s low-slope roofing systems offer superior performance and flexibility while reducing installation and maintenance costs. And this evolution continues, with new technologies to improve roof performance and value introduced almost constantly.

To help the building designer and manager take advantage of this ongoing evolution in low-slope roofing, this webinar will review the latest technological advances and provide tools to integrate these technologies into the design and management of low-slope roofing systems. First, the webinar will provide a brief overview of the history of low-slop roofing to show how new market demands have led to the deployment of new technologies to improve roof performance. Next, the webinar will provide an in-depth look at the most recent technologies being introduced into low-slope roofing, with an emphasis on the advantages and challenges of these technologies. Finally, the webinar will offer a step-by-step approach to implementing these latest technologies in new roof design and existing roof retrofit and management.
