Low pitch roofing is perfect for flat to pitch conversions or for conservatories and extensions where upper storey windows may alter the roofing pitch required. Whatever your project, it’s important to consider the material of your low pitch roofing to ensure it can be installed at the correct pitch you need and will fit on the existing structure of the building.

The benefits of a low pitch roof

There are many problems associated with flat roofing such as leaks and short life span. With a low pitch roof instead, the lifespan is greatly increased ensuring a durable and long lasting solution. The risk of leaking is also reduced, as rain water will roll down the slope rather than collect on a flat roof.

10 degree pitch

There are a number of roofing materials that can be used for low pitch roofing, however some cannot be installed at as low a pitch as others. Metrotile’s specialist lightweight roofing can be installed as low as 10 degrees which is the lowest available on the market. This makes Metrotile the most suitable roofing for converting from flat to pitch or for whatever your project that requires high quality low pitch tiles.

Low pitch installation

The roofing material chosen may also help to reduce installation time. Lightweight roofing is much easier to transport around site, ensuring a safe construction site for the roofing installers. With safe transportation, you can lift and install the roof tiles with ease which can mean a faster installation.

Lightweight roofing

Lighter roofing not only means fast installation, but ensures there’s no strain on the existing structure. This is not typically required for housing but it’s important with conservatories where the framework is not as strong as that used in housing.
