Low-slope sections in Lomita hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Dust and grit settle on Lomita roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains.
Flat and low-slope sections in Lomita need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Realistically, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Lomita roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. On most jobs, lightweight tile gives Lomita owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
