All this serves as a strong argument for the manufacture of roofing structures using the traditional ridge method. Modern technologies and innovative materials make it possible to cope with this problem. High-quality professional installation of flat roofs allows not only to avoid leaks, but also opens up wide possibilities, for example:

Such landscaping requires a careful approach and carrying out the necessary preliminary calculations. In some cases, it is necessary to obtain a special permit, and for this you will need a properly completed project indicating the technical characteristics.
