Sloped Roof To Flat Roof Transition

Instead the roof must be done with a modified bituminous membrane e g.

Sloped roof to flat roof transition. Right now i have shingles on the slopes roof and modified bitumen on the slightly pitched roof. Armourvalley or other materials like epdm pvc or tpo covering. For slopes less than 9 5 we cannot install roof shingles. The use of metal retrofit roofs allows the flat roofed buildings to undergo a transformation into a sloped roof building.

Pitch transitions are a common roof detail. A roof pitch transition is a line in the roof plane that changes pitch. An example for a steep sloped roof is 8 12. There are two key details for the transition between steep and low slopes.

The roof plane goes from one pitch to a lower pitch. This is a fairly common roof detail. It appears to be flat but it needs a slope to allow the water to drain from the roof. Flat roof slope the slope of a roof or pitch is determined by how many inches the roof rises over 1 foot or 12 inches.

This means that the rise of the slope goes up or down 8 inches for every 12 inches. The distance that the lower roof membrane laps onto the steeper sloped roof and the need for isolation between incompatible materials. We see this quite frequently in log home roofs with porches for example. This latest project was in early december in lambeth ontario for a residential home that had an existing sloped or shingled roof that needed to tie into a ne.

On slope shingled roof at the transition point. Flat roof connected to pitch roof. It has a slope of 2 3. Where the sloped roof ends and the slightly pitch roof begins can the metal roof be shaped to transition to the slightly pitched roof to also be covered by a new metal roof to.

A flat roof isn t actually flat. So at the ridge where the shingled slope meets with the flat roof this is the order of materials.
