The advantages of a flat roof in Montréal
Thinking of a flat roof for your home or building? There’s a good reason why the metropolis boasts a large number of flat roofs: they offer a number of advantages.
A flat roof is both an aesthetic and functional option. In fact, it gives your home a modern look and can take many forms, such as :
- A green roof
- A roof terrace
- A garden area
This makes it a versatile option: not only does it limit wasted space, it also creates new living spaces. What’s more, some membranes can reduce heat islands and increase your energy efficiency. Solar panels also gain in efficiency on a flat roof.
Thanks to their shallower slope, flat roofs are also less vulnerable to wind damage!
The different types of flat roof cladding in Montréal
If you live in Montreal, you have several siding options to choose from, depending on the properties you’re looking for and your budget.
TPO roofing
TPO roofing is very popular for its affordability and durability. In fact, it’s currently enjoying strong growth – and rightly so, since it offers so many advantages!
The membrane is a thin layer of rubber (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) fused together using a hot-air robot.
Resistant to UV rays, pollutants and breakage, it is a reliable option guaranteed for at least 20 years. White in color, it’s one of those membranes that reduce heat islands!
EDPM roofing
EPDM roofing is so named because of its composition:
- Ethylene
- Propylene
- Diene
- Monomer
It’s another option known for its durability and resistance to UV rays, heat and extreme cold. It’s also lightweight and highly tensile-resistant.
Like TPO, EPDM is a single-layer system, and can be white or black in color. Although we specialize in TPO roofing, we also inspect, maintain and repair other types of flat roof.
Elastomer roofing
Elastomer roofing is a multi-layer system. It is increasingly used in place of asphalt and gravel roofing, as it is lighter and more resistant. In fact, its lifespan is estimated at between 15 and 30 years.
Made from modified bitumen, this type of membrane comes in roll form and is laid in two layers, sealed with a flashlight or hot-air system. Although the installation is very clean, it does represent a certain fire risk; be sure to check your roofer’s insurance.
The top layer is covered with granules for added strength and durability.
Green roof
Even more ecological than a white roof, a green roof offers a number of advantages. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it also cleans the air, retains rainwater, extends the life of the membrane and much more!
Our company has partnered with suppliers and experts to offer you a project that lives up to your expectations.
Asphalt and gravel roof
Widely used in Quebec, this type of roofing consists of a layer of asphalt covered with a layer of gravel. It’s an option with an estimated lifespan of around 16 years and a low environmental impact. It is, however, an affordable and watertight alternative.
White roofs
White roofs are known to reduce heat islands, and are the perfect choice for urban environments! By reflecting the rays, they contribute to a cooler environment during heatwaves and reduce your electricity consumption linked to air conditioning.
TPO and EPDM roofs are durable white roofs that have little impact on the environment.

How much does it cost to build a flat roof in Montréal?
The price of a flat roof in Montreal varies according to a number of factors. On the one hand, it depends on whether the project involves new construction, refurbishment or renovation. On the other hand, costs vary according to the type of membrane and the surface area to be covered.
Other factors to consider include the complexity of the work and the temperature. TPO membranes are among the most affordable on the market, with an average price of $9 to $12 per square foot.
On average, a 1,000 sq. ft. roof will cost between $7,000 and $14,500, while a 5,000 sq. ft. roof can cost as much as $60,000.
Obviously, the cost of a green roof will be higher, but also more variable, depending on the scale of the project. For a 1,000 ft2 duplex roof, costs can range from $25,000 to twice that.
