Built-Up Roofs
What are Built-Up Roofs?
Built-up roofs (aka BUR or tar and gravel) consist of multiple, alternating layers of bitumen (i.e. asphalt, tar, etc) and roofing felt membrane which are finished with gravel or other asphalt based coating.
Built-up roofs can provide many advantages to your commercial or industrial business, including:
- Time-Tested Performance: Boasts a long-standing history of reliability in commercial roofing.
- Weather Resistant: Offers outstanding durability against harsh weather and storms.
- Minimal Upkeep: Requires very little maintenance over its lifespan.
- Traffic Tolerance: Well-suited to withstand regular rooftop foot traffic.
When choosing a Built-Up roof for your business, here are some things to consider:
- Premium Cost: The expense is typically higher due to labor intensity.
- Extended Installation Period: Installation process may take longer.
- VOC Emissions: The installation process can release VOCs, potentially affecting the environment within the building.
