Apex roofing systems work for almost every type of home or building. They’re used on tiny and small houses, modular trailer homes, regular family houses, garden rooms, garages, workshops, and even larger buildings. Wherever there’s a roof, Apex can fit the job. Lets see how these systems can benefit each house type Tiny homes, modular trailer units, garages, and larger commercial spaces can all benefit from the installation of flat-roof systems like GRP and EPDM. These systems are well suited to the various requirements of each type of building, including height restrictions, durability, flexibility, and long-term weather protection. Tiny & Small Homes Project requirement: A low-profile flat roof was required for the construction in order to maintain good internal headroom and a low overall height. Additionally, the homeowner desired a contemporary, seamless finish with robust waterproofing around openings like skylights and roof windows. How the Apex system benefited the project: A single, completely waterproof surface with no weak seams was produced by Apex's GRP system. The material produced a neat and shiny finish by tightly forming around edges and skylight frames. The structure was able to stay within height restrictions thanks to the slim roof profile, which also gave the interior of the small space a sense of height. Modular & Regular Homes Project requirement: The roof needed to be lightweight and flexible so it could handle transport movement and settle safely once installed on-site. A quick installation process was also important because the building arrived mostly pre-constructed. How the Apex system benefited the project: The EPDM system gave a single-piece waterproof layer with very few seams, making it safer for transport and long-term use. Its flexible structure adapted to frame movement, and the installation process was fast and straightforward, allowing the unit to be weather-ready quickly. Garages, Workshops & Home Extensions Project requirement: The project needed a strong and reliable flat roof that could handle weather exposure, maintenance access, and occasional foot traffic without damage. A neat trim finish was important to match the design of the house. How the Apex system benefited the project: The GRP roofing system created a tough, impact-resistant surface with a seamless waterproof finish. Apex trims and drainage parts completed the edges cleanly and helped control water run-off, giving a professional result that will hold up for many years. Large Residential & Commercial Buildings Project requirement: A large-area roof needed a continuous membrane that could cover wide spans reliably and maintain consistent waterproofing across the whole surface. Durability and appearance were also key for a visible structure. How the Apex system benefited the project: EPDM wide-sheet membranes allowed large sections to be covered with minimal seams, reducing leak risk and speeding up installation. GRP finishing details provided clean edges and controlled drainage, keeping the building protected and visually tidy. Roof Kit Calculators Apex offers two simple online calculators that help you work out the exact quantity of material needed for any flat roof. By entering the roof dimensions and selecting the required options, the calculators automatically generate a complete materials list. This saves time, prevents ordering mistakes, and makes planning much easier. GRP Kit Calculator Used for fibreglass (GRP) roofing systems. It calculates the amount of resin, matting, topcoat, trims, and optional tools based on the size of your roof. EPDM Kit Calculator (ClassicBond) Designed for EPDM rubber membrane roofs. It guides you through roof shape, edge type, surface details, and trim options to build a full EPDM kit.
