Built Up Roofing Systems (BUR)

Built up roofing systems are one of the most time tested and dependable roof instillations on the market today. They essentially consist of numerous layers of roof felts laminated together with bitumen. All BUR's have three basic elements that make up the system. First there is the waterproofing element. Second you have the reinforcing element. And last but not least you have the surfacing element.

Although each Built up roof has essentially the same elements, the materials chosen for each individual element of the built up roof instillation process varies widely based on geography, weather conditions, foot traffic, slope of the roof, surfacing material and other factors. If the correct substrate is employed, Built Up Roofing Systems can be installed on almost any type of roof deck.

This makes BUR's a highly flexible choice for your commercial roofing project. Under ideal conditions, a 3-ply built-up roof should last at least fifteen years, a 4-ply should last at least 20 years, and a 5-ply should last at least 25 years.
