This traditional roofing style uses alternating layers of bitumen asphalt and roofing felts to create a strong, reliable surface. Roofing felts are reinforced industrial fabrics that form powerful bonds. Modern roofing felts are strengthened with fibreglass or organic ply mats for extra durability.

BUR systems are applied in layers of asphalt and felts. These materials join together to form a strong roofing membrane known as a ply. For example, a four-ply roof includes four layers of flat roofing system.

Redundant Systems

BUR systems have multiple layers that make them extremely damage-resistant. Even if one layer loses performance, the system’s other layers are still actively protecting the roof.

Extreme Durability

Built Up Roofs can withstand many troublesome conditions. These systems tolerate building stress and thermal shock, making them perfect for ongoing projects and roofing repairs. BUR systems also have excellent membrane strength that resists punctures and other surface damage.

Top Fire Protection

Tar and gravel roofs offer superior heat and fire protection against external flames. These roofs add an extra layer of safety to any building.

Reflective Surfacing

Increase the membrane protection, puncture resistance, and foot traffic protection with a range of reflective surfacing options.

Versatility

Built Up Roofs can use SBS, organic felts, and fibreglass, making them ideal for many different building challenges.
