Flat roof structure and decking
Give your flat roof the best possible decking
An effective roofing system requires a structure and decking that effectively supports the covering of the flat roof. This condition is essential to optimize the longevity of the covering and to ensure the integrity of the building. Sometimes it may be necessary to correct the structural problems affecting the soundness of the roof.
It is also possible to make changes in the joists for some projects, such as modifying the slope and other improvements. In all cases, structural modifications of a flat roof require expertise and specific techniques. It is therefore recommended to entrust this work to expert flat roofers to best preserve the integrity of the building and protect your investment.
Improvements to the flat roof structure
The structure and the decking are essential to the entire building. When a roof is not well supported, the cladding and waterproofing can deteriorate prematurely. For these reasons, Les Couvreurs Duro-Toit pay particular attention to the structure and decking implications of their roofing projects.
Work is only recommended if the flat-roof structure requires improvement to preserve its integrity. If so, our roofers can solidify, equalize, and straighten the joists or any other part of the flat-roof structure. Before any change in the joists is undertaken, a technical consultant will notify you. Depending on the needs of your building, he will offer you the best solution taking into account your budget and the intended performance. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, you will be able to choose among various proposals for procedures, such as:
- Optimization of the spacing in the attic to increase ventilation
- Solidification of the flat-roof structure
- Decking replacement
- Slope modification
- Straightening of the joists
