BUR roofing membranes are durable and reliable for low- slopes or flat roofs created through a layering process of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics. The multiple layers of bitumen make this system heavier than other types and ensure that it will last much longer. Built-up roofing solutions also have high reflective qualities, helping to save energy costs and keep inside temperatures consistent.

Durable Against Inclement Weather Conditions

Tar is an excellent material to use for roofs because it’s highly flame resistant. The layers of bitumen create a waterproof roof that will stop water from getting inside your building no matter what kind of fire you’re facing!

BUR roofing is a strong material that has added aggregate and fiberglass. It makes for an even more sturdy product, which you can be assured will withstand any harsh weather conditions that come your way.

Low Maintenance

Built-up roofing is often considered a low maintenance option, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have bi-annual checkups. Owners should inspect their systems every year or two for any cracks and other problems that could arise due to wear and tear on your home’s part.

BUR roofing offers an excellent choice for building owners who need a cost-effective and minimal maintenance installation. The upkeep is minute and has lower costs.

Energy Efficiency

High-reflective roofing helps maintain cool building temperatures by reflecting the sun’s harmful UV rays. As a result, you’ll need to run heating and cooling less often, which ultimately saves money on your utility bills.

Flame Retardant

BUR’s fire-retardant roofs are a great way to protect your home from the damaging effects of fires. The systems prevent starting and spreading, offering optimal protection with no toxic discharge when installed- making BUR an environmentally-friendly choice.

Long Lifespan

With a cool roof, you can help reduce power outages and avoid those peak demand rates by using less electricity. Lower energy prices mean that it will be even cheaper for your home to operate. An electrical grid failure is quite common during the summertime when everyone in a concentrated area all has their air conditioners running at once. If you had cool roofing on your home, it would make sense that this strain will be much lower and may even mean reduced levels of local pollution too!

Installation Process

The torch-down method of installing modified bitumen roofs is not for everyone. It’s a hazardous process and should only be done by trained professionals who know what they’re doing, like Paramount Roofing.

Clear the entire roof of debris
Install roofing felt over the decking while using cap nails, secure the felt in rows along the top and bottom of the sheets
Roll out the roofing sheets, leaving room for overhang
Ensure the roofing is perfectly flat and adjust the roofing to overhang the flashing
Put on protective gear during install to ensure safety.
Start to align the sheets, intertwine each sheet, and repeat the process.
Repeat process till the roof is completely covered

When you require a roof, it is essential to find one that will last. Paramount Roofing takes an inspect-and-pair approach by first thoroughly inspecting your home’s structures before deciding on what type of solution would be best for its needs.
