A flat roofing system is ideal for both residential and commercial buildings due to its cost-effectiveness and efficient space utilization. These type of roofs are known for their durability and long-term performance. They are weather-resistant, easy to install, and require minimal maintenance. Common flat roofing systems include modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofing (BUR), which is among the oldest and most time-tested options.
BUR systems consist of multiple layers of asphalt and felts, offering superior waterproofing. Brands like GAF (GAFGLAS® BUR), Johns Manville (BUR Systems with asphalt/felt plies), CertainTeed (multi-ply BUR), Owens Corning (Fiberglas™ BUR), and TAMKO (TAM-PRO® BUR) offer some of the most reliable built-up roofing products in the industry.
Main features of this type of roofing are:
✅ Cost-Effective: These roofs require less labor and fewer materials, especially in larger buildings, making them a more economical choice.
✅ Energy-Efficient: Reflective coatings on these roofs reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs and enhancing membrane longevity.
✅ Versatile Usage: This type of roofs maximize space, ideal for installing solar panels, rooftop gardens, or HVAC systems.
✅ Weather Resistant: BUR systems are especially effective in resisting water penetration and harsh weather conditions like rain, hail, and snow.
