How Is Flat and Tapered Roofing Made?
Flat roofs have a variety of material options to suit different budgets and needs. Specifically, some of the more common flat roofing materials include:
- Built-up Roofing (BUR) – Built-up roofing (BUR) systems consist of multiple layers of asphalt and modified bitumen installed over insulation. BUR offers a cost-effective roofing solution. However, BUR systems require routine maintenance and repairs to extend the useful life of the roof.
- Modified Bitumen – A blend of asphalt and rubber, modified bitumen roofing materials are supplied in roll form to be installed through torching or adhesive bonding applications. This offers longevity and flexibility benefits.
All of these flat roofing materials require a slope of 1/4″ per foot to qualify as a low-slope roof. Drew Roofing can help you determine which material is best suited to your home and budget. We look forward to discussing your options and creating a custom solution for your needs.
