Flat roofs

Flat roofs have long been perceived as problematic in the minds of the general and professional public. Today they are reliable not only because quality products are offered for their execution, but also because designers and implementation companies have more and more information about their properties and use. Today, flat roofs no longer only serve as a building envelope, but also allow for operational uses such as terraces or roof gardens. The book is full of practical information dealing with the design and functions of flat roofs. The different types of flat roofs are described in detail and each type of flat roof is supplemented with information from the field of building thermal engineering, usually including sample thermal engineering calculations.
