Introduction

Flat roofing demands specialised materials to perform well under weather stress, thermal movement, and daily use. Whether you’re a roofing contractor or a skilled DIYer, selecting the right flat roofing materials and supplies saves time, enhances durability, and avoids costly callbacks.

Core Flat Roofing Products

From trims to vents, Areco has an extensive range of flat roofing accessories designed for robust performance:

• GRP & Aluminium Roof Edge Trims
  These trims secure edges, prevent water ingress, and give a neat, weather-tight finish.
• Breather Vents & Termination Bars
  Improve airflow and allow secure fastening of felt or membrane systems without leaks.
• Flat Roof Drains
  Keeps water moving, preventing ponding and structural damage.
• Pedestal & Paving Support Systems
  Helps create a stable surface for rooftop terraces or paving without compromising roofing integrity.

How to Choose Flat Roofing Supplies

Considerations when selecting materials:

• Roof type: liquid, felt, GRP or membrane system
• Weather exposure: consistent rain or heat requires specific trims and seals
• Project scale: larger roofs may require specialised drainage or support pedestals

Installation Tips

• Ensure clean, dry surfaces before fixing trims
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for spacing and sealing
• Use ventilated components where necessary to prevent condensation
