NEED NEW ROOFING?
Is it time to replace your bitumen roofing? FlotiTecho Costa Blanca is the right place for you. Bitumen roofing, commonly known as roofing felt or asphalt roofing, is one of the most popular types of roofing. Repairing, replacing, or installing bitumen roofing requires experienced roofers.

BITUMEN ROOF REPAIR
A well-maintained bitumen roof can last 30 to 40 years. However, leaks during this period are not always avoidable. Storm damage, poor maintenance, shrinkage of the roofing, clogged drains, and natural aging of the material can all lead to problems with your flat roof. Timely roof inspections, maintenance, and repairs are essential to prevent leaks and water damage to your home.
An experienced roofer from FlotiTecho can assess the condition of your flat roof with an inspection. Don’t delay repairs to avoid severe damage to your home. Leaks can go unnoticed for a long time but almost always lead to high costs.

BITUMEN ROOFING RENOVATION
Flat roofs endure a lot from rain, wind, and sun, which significantly impacts their condition. Eventually, your bitumen roof will need replacing. Various types of roofing are available, including:
- Bitumen roofing (APP/SBS)
- Roof tiles
- EPDM roofing
- Thatch roofing
- Metal roofing
- Slate roofing
- Zinc roofing
ADVANTAGES OF BITUMEN ROOFING
Each type of roofing has its pros and cons, and bitumen is no exception. Modern high-quality bitumen can last up to 40 years. In addition to its long lifespan, roofing felt is relatively inexpensive. Roof repairs are straightforward for an experienced roofer. It is easy to apply over insulation and is made from recycled materials.
DOES BITUMEN HAVE DISADVANTAGES?
Bitumen roofing does have its drawbacks. It is less resistant to UV radiation, which can cause it to dry out and shrink over time. This can lead to detachment from the edges or the underlayer. Additionally, because roofing felt is applied in strips, it has many seams, increasing the risk of leaks. However, by hiring a specialist roofer like FlotiTecho and maintaining your roof properly, you can prevent these issues. Read more about EPDM roofing as an alternative to bitumen roofing below.
ALTERNATIVE TO BITUMEN: EPDM ROOFING
Is bitumen not the best choice for your roof? Then EPDM roofing is a viable alternative. EPDM is a synthetic rubber made from petroleum. EPDM is very lightweight, which is a significant advantage for a green roof. It is also very flexible and easy to apply. EPDM lasts up to 50 years. Want to know if EPDM is suitable for your roof? Contact us, we’d be happy to tell you.
GREEN ROOF FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT
In today’s world, where sustainability is a priority, you can also opt for a green roof. A green roof is covered with plants, such as sedum (succulents), herbs, flowers, grasses, or other plant species. A green roof is not only good for the environment but also aesthetically pleasing.
A green roof can be installed on a flat roof or a slightly sloped roof on your house, shed, garage, or carport. It often enhances the value of your home. While it is more expensive to buy and install compared to bitumen roofing, a green roof offers numerous benefits and may even qualify for subsidies.

INSULATING A FLAT ROOF
Looking to insulate a flat roof? Proper insulation can save you a significant amount of money. It is estimated that at least 25% of your heat is lost through an uninsulated roof. With high energy prices, your investment in insulation is quickly recouped. The best way to insulate your flat roof is typically from the outside, which involves removing the old roofing before installing the insulation.
In some cases, we leave the existing roofing in place and add a layer of insulation on top (we can calculate this thermally or confirm its feasibility). Additionally, we can raise the upstands with a fir batten and integrate the whole thing with zinc.
FlotiTecho is a roofing company in the Costa Blanca specializing in insulating flat roofs and applying new layers of roofing felt.
Whether you want to insulate, repair, or renew your roof, seek professional advice or request a non-binding quote from us. We also provide information about possible subsidies.
