Hot Applied BUR and Torch Roofing Systems
Traditional BUR (Built Up Roofing) System is a type of flat roofing system using layers of material made of tar and gravel, commonly referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs. This roofing system gets its name from the building of a roof using layers of base sheets, interply sheets and cap sheets or other surfacing such as gravel or liquid coating. Hot asphalt (bitumen) is the bonding and waterproofing agent that is applied between layers. BUR is suitable for most low slope roofing applications. The biggest drawback to BUR Roofing Systems is the smell of hot asphalt and the noise of the kettle.
The number of plies in a cross section is the number of plies on a roof: The term “four plies” denotes a four ply roof membrane construction. Sometimes, a base sheet, used as the bottommost ply, is mechanically fastened. Built up roofs generally are considered to be fully adhered if applied directly to roof decks or insulation.
Benefits of Hot Applied BUR and Torch Roofing Systems
