A flat roof has not been done in 15 years. Contractors recommend rubber roof others tar/paper. Difference? | |
Do rubber roofs crack? How much longer do they last than old fashioned black paper and tar? Does a protective coating have to be reapplied every few years?
Answers:
1Definitely a rubber roof requires a great deal let maintenance and will last 15 to 20 years. This will be a true water proof roof system. Paper and tar is old method and will last 7 to 10 years before needing replaced. UV rays effect both but tar faster. Long term Rubber. Short term is moving in 5 years paper and tar.

The Rubber Roofing Solution is the way forward!
We have never heard of, or come across; a three layer built up roof lasting as long as a 30 year period!
There are a number of single ply flat roofing systems on the market today which will out-perform the bitumen based felts.
Although they are inventing new Elastomeric High Performance Felts that will last longer than their predecessors; these felts will not out-live SINGLE PLY! Ask the ENVIROMENT.
