BUILT UP ROOFING
BY JOHNS MANVILLE
|
|
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) is one of the oldest
and most reliable commercial roofing systems for
buildings with low-slope or “flat” roof
structures. Started in the 1840's, these roof
systems are often referred to as "tar and
gravel" roofs. BUR consists of multiple
plies of roof felts laminated together with
bitumen. BUR consists of bitumen-saturated
organic-fiber, fiberglass, or polyester felt. A
top-surfacing or a glaze coat of asphalt,
aggregate (gravel or slag), fibered, or
non-fibered coatings engineered for roof coating,
or a granule-surfaced cap sheet.
BUR may be designed and specified to meet a broad
range of building waterproofing applications,
depending on the needs of the building owner. These
systems range from very basic systems designed to be
vigorously maintained to upper-end systems that are
constructed to qualify for a manufacturer’s
warranty. Roofing manufacturers, working in close
coordination with roofing contractors, will write
long-term warranties for building owners based on
specific design criteria. Some warranties even
qualify for decades of “full-value” labor and
materials coverage. Beacon Roofing Supply
commercial roofing specialists can furnish you with
more details and refer you to one of our many
contracting professionals.
Over the years, BUR has earned a great reputation
with building owners, architects, engineers, roofing
product manufacturers and commercial roofing
contractors. The original cost of a BUR system
may be greater than other low-slope applications,
but when taking the long view, BUR often comes out a
winner. BUR enjoys a track record that is over 150
years old, provides a thick, durable roof covering,
may be used in a broad range of building
waterproofing applications, and after many years of
service may be maintained and repaired for extended
life (many other systems must be completely
replaced).

rated roofing system
- Wide choice of top-surfacing, including
“Cool Roofing” options

A
Proven Track Record |
| Over the years, Built-Up Roofing has
earned a great reputation with building owners,
architects, engineers, roofing product manufacturers
and roofing contractors. They all know Built-Up
Roofing is a proven winner. |
|
Invest
in a Roof That Will Last |
| The cost of a Built-Up Roofing
system is minimal when compared to the cost of
potential damage from a poorly installed single-ply
roof. Major companies across the country have come
to understand that the roof above is critical to
protecting the business below. |

THE
BENEFITS OF BUILT OF ROOFING
LONGER
LIFE CYCLE
|
|
Each ply
of a Built-Up Roofing system contains a mat of glass
fiber reinforcement - most single-ply systems
contain no reinforcement at all. When multiple plies
are combined and sandwiched between layers of
water-resistant asphalt, the result is a longer
lasting roof. |
|
LIMITED ROOF
MOVEMENT |
|
All roofs
expand and contract. Single-ply roofs respond with
elongation. But over time these systems can lose
their elasticity, resulting in buckling, ridges and
splits. A Built-Up Roof, however, limits movement
with a high tensile strength in excess of the
recommended 200 lbs./sq.in. The potential for
fracturing is more or less eliminated, and the
Built-Up Roof will last longer. |
|
SUPERIOR WATER
RESISTANCE |
|
Multiple
layers of reinforcement offer multiple opportunities
to prevent leaks. Single-ply membranes only offer
one chance at preventing a leak. Plus, there's
nothing quite like asphalt when it comes to making a
roof resist water. Asphalt is the glue that holds a
Built-Up Roof together. It also seals and protects
the entire roof, delivering up to five times greater
water-resistant thickness. |
|
EASIER INSTALLATION |
|
On a
hot Built-Up Roof, the multiple plies are fused
together using hot-mopped asphalt to create a
monolithic barrier. Every inch is firmly and
completely adhered over the entire roof area,
without the need for ballast or fasteners.
Single-ply systems require ballast or fasteners
because they are generally laid loose. But ballast
(such as stones) increases structural load and can
be blown off by strong winds. And fasteners create
less stress points and additional opportunities for
moisture leakage. |
