The system & the scope

Protection, ply by ply.

Built-up roofing combines alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing felt, typically three or four plies, finished with aggregate or a cap sheet. The layered assembly is inspectable and repairable, and remains an option for demanding commercial roofs.

Multi-ply redundancy

Several reinforced layers form the roof assembly.

Demanding roof use

Considered for equipment zones and heavy foot traffic.

System-aware repairs

Damaged sections can be opened and rebuilt with matching layers.

The right choice, not just a quote

Built around your building.

Where it fits

Buildings prioritizing multi-ply redundancy, roofs with rooftop equipment, and recover projects over sound existing assemblies.

What to consider

BUR is heavier and takes longer to install than single-ply options. Deck capacity and a suitable weather window for hot-applied work must be assessed.
