Cold Process BUR & Coating Roofing Systems

One of the advantages of Cold Applied Roofing Systems over Hot Applied Systems is their ease of application. Very little equipment is required and just a few workers can complete the applications. Because there is no hot tar there is no need for the machinery for hot tar and no odor.

The cold systems can be applied as new or can be applied over existing smooth-surfaced roof systems. Although these roofs are waterproof immediately, they remain somewhat tender to roof traffic for 15 to 20 days, depending on weather conditions and system variations.

Cold-applied coatings also have some disadvantages. For instance, they have a slower adhesion development, so it is important to point out that, unlike hot roofs, there is a definite “set time” involved with cold-applied membranes.
