When compared directly, it is no secret that flat and pitched roofs have different lives. Whereas pitched roofs can have an average use period far longer than six decades, flat roofs often only last for 20 years. Dirt, permanent ponding and weathering effects such as UV radiation, storms, hail and frost accelerate the ageing process. The owner is then often faced with the question: renovate or new build? Experience shows that in many cases it pays to aim for partial or full renovation in order to extend the life of the roof with relatively inexpensive measures. In the FLECK product range you will find many products that are specially geared to flat and pitched roof renovation measures.
What is SanReMo?
Renovation, repair and modernisation are known as “SanReMo” (German) or RR&M (English) in the building industry. Renovation comes from the Latin word (renovare) for renew or restore, repair means mend something that is damaged or not working properly and modernisation means improve and bring up to date and therefore involves the most comprehensive building work on properties.
