Flat roofs generally have a slight incline in order to allow the roof to drain any water from the roof. Using a flat roof as a living or recreation area is not generally encouraged due to the potential damage to the roof.  Flat roofs can be used as a terrace if additional measures are taken to protect the surface.
 
Although flat roofs are generally more common in commercial roofing rather than residential roofing, you may still choose a flat roof for your home.
