Built Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-up roofing, commonly called BUR or tar and gravel, is one of the most time-tested commercial systems.

LONG TERM PERFORMANCE · THERMAL MASS  · REDUNDANT WATERPROOFING

Built-Up Roofing Systems consist of multiple layers of felt installed with moppings of hot asphalt.

 

They can be finished with granulated or Title-24 compliant coated cap sheets, or with gravel surfacing.

 

Warranties of up to 20-years are available, and these systems can be installed over multiple substrates.

  • Resilient against debris – the multiple layers and durability of the natural materials make it harder to puncture BUR than other flat roof options (like single ply membranes).

  • Can be easy to repair – replace the damaged element, requiring fewer steps than re-sealing single ply membrane.

  • Traction for workers on the roof – the textured upper layer of a BUR roof will lessen the likelihood of slipping.

  • Lifespan – BUR roof systems deliver a lifespan of 20-30 years

  • UV rays and fire protection – the natural materials utilized in BUR flat roofs are inherently resistant to sun and heat.
