In my opinion asphalt should no longer be on the market. Every other product out lasts it.when asphalt goes wrong you don't find out until most interior damage is caused. We have come a long way from asphalt and I believe it's only on the market for financial reasons. Other products that I use are EDPM (RUBBER membrane), fibreglass or metal. I hope this is helpful

The best product on out there at the moment for a flat roof is single ply pvc .. if it’s done correctly it will last for ever I think epdm is Bob the builder stuff you can buy it cut in the size of your roof slap a bit glue down and there u go and any one can buy it which makes it easier for fake roofers to con people
