10. Flat Roofs p02
10.1. Introduction.Spanish CTE DB HS1 states that flat roofs are those that meet the following slope standards:
But there are many other possible classifications. The international standards are:· Traditional roofs. Waterproof membrane was usually tarpaper, a 'paper' or fiber material soaked or impregnated in tar.· Protected membrane roof. A roof where thermal insulation or another material is placed above the waterproofing membrane.· Composite steel deck. A flat roof deck often used for commercial structures.

10.1.1. Elements.Flat roofs can, according to CTE DB HS-1, include the following elements.· Sloping. Mandatory whenever the support base does not have the required slope.· Vapor barrier. Immediately under the insulation, to avoid humidity by condensation.· Separating layers. Under thermal insulation, under waterproofing membranes, etc. Used to avoid contact of chemically incompatible materials.· Thermal insulation. Appropriate materials.· Protective layers. Over thermal insulation, over waterproofing membranes, etc. Used to avoid cracks or depressions.· Waterproofing layers. To avoid water entrance.· Finishing layer. Various systems.· Drainage system. The drainage system may consist on sinks (vertical) weirs (horizontal) and gutters (linear in edge), or in a combination of them all.
10. Flat Roofs p04
Slope mortars.Construction of the slope of a flat roof with mortar. Lightweight concretes or mortars are often used in Spain.Mind the details about junctions with walls and parapets: a joint to avoid expansion cracks is always mandatory.
10. Flat Roofs p05
Vapor barriers, separating and protecting layers.Vapor barriers, separating and protecting layers can have different forms, and be composed of different materials. For vapor barriers, primers are used, most based on bitumen, improved coal tar or asphalt products. Soft protections or separations are often achieved with polyethylene films, that allow contact of chemically incompatible materials.
10. Flat Roofs p06
Thermal insulation.Its density and thickness is established by the DB-HE-1 CTE. In Madrid climate zone, for a standard 60-90kg/m3 density, the usual thickness is between 8 and 10 cm. The most common material is extruded polystyrene (XPS), due to its low moisture absorption and high durability.
10. Flat Roofs p07
Waterproof membranes.Waterproof membranes are often composed by one of the following materials:· Modified bitumen. Improved coal tar or asphalt products.· EPDM. Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, a synthetic rubber.· PVC. Polyvinyl Chloride, also known as vinyl roofing.· FTPO. Flexible Thermo Polyolefin, a polymer that doesn’t cure, and can be heated again.
10. Flat Roofs p08
Finishing layer.Various systems, from loose gravel to standard ceramic tile flooring. Most drained systems use plots to create a cavity between the finishing and the runoff surfaces. In these cases, the roof finishing can be really flat, as the joints between the tiles act as a huge rack that hides water as is flows to the drainage system.
10. Flat Roofs p09
Drainage system.The drainage system usually consists on vertical sinks, most made in EPDM or PVC. Weirs, usually covered with metal racks, are used in pedestrian areas. Gutters in edge are appropriate for pitched roofs.
