Built-Up Roofing for a Lasting Impression

Built-up roofing consists of alternating layers of bitumen (asphalt or coal tar) and reinforcing fabrics covered with a protective top layer of gravel or mineral coating. This "built-up" layering process creates a highly durable and weather-resistant surface. Ideal for low-slope or flat roofs, BUR systems provide a seamless and aesthetically pleasing finish that can withstand the test of time in varying weather conditions.

With decades of expertise in commercial roofing, the RN Roofing team specializes in installing, maintaining, and repairing built-up roofing systems. We tailor each project to meet your property's unique needs. 

The Benefits of Installing Built-Up Roofing With Us

There are several reasons property managers and building owners turn to BUR for their commercial roofing or roof replacement needs: 

  • Long-Lasting Durability: BUR systems are designed to last. Their multi-layered construction makes them resistant to severe weather, tears, and impact damage, ensuring a long lifecycle with proper maintenance. 
  • Superior Waterproofing: The multiple bitumen layers offer excellent resistance to water, protecting your building from leaks and water-related structural issues. 
  • Thermal Performance: The gravel or mineral surface layer helps reflect UV rays, improving energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
  • Low Maintenance Costs: Once installed, BUR requires minimal upkeep compared to other roofing systems, saving you money over time.
