Hotel Flat Roofing in Toronto

A hotel flat rooftop gives you space that you can use to complement your hotel offering such as a rooftop pool, a workout room with an incredible view of the skyline, or a swanky rooftop bar, lounge or restaurant. The space can also have practical benefits such as holding your HVAC systems and billboards to advertise your hotel. Security is paramount in a hotel. Flat roofs eliminate the risk of intrusion through the roof since a burglar cannot simply tear the tiles apart with a tool or a boot. Whatever your use of hotel flat roofing is, below are a few design tips that have been tried-and-tested in Toronto or Mississauga.

Consider rain intensity

Toronto and Mississauga receive heavy rainfall throughout the year, with the annual average rainfall for Toronto being 785 mm. Even the driest month, February still receives an average of 51 mm. Most of the precipitation in Toronto falls in August, which averages 81 mm. When designing a hotel flat roof in Toronto , you should always be conscious that a lot of water will fall on the roof. For this reason:

Ensure that the roof is not 100% flat, but has a slope of between 10 and 15 degrees (or about ¼ inch per foot) to prevent pooling.
Design an efficient drainage system that can quickly evacuate rainwater
Ensure all furniture is well covered to prevent damage
When picking furniture, go for plastic, metal, and other material not easily damaged by water
