BUR roofing is a great option to consider for many commercial properties.
Built-up roofing (BUR), sometimes known as “tar and gravel” roofing, is a tried-and-true roofing technique for flat or low-slope roofs. Its dependability and multilayer design have made it a popular choice for commercial buildings and industrial facilities in and around the Owentown, Texas area. If you’re looking for a roofing system that’s durable, weather resistant, and long-lasting, it’s a great option to consider.
Our team at Aspire Roofing and Gutters is well versed in BUR roofing, having completed many projects using this method over the years. When you contact us about this technique, we will answer any questions you have as well as provide you with a bit of background. For instance, BUR roofing is made up of many layers of bitumen (asphalt or coal tar) interspersed with reinforcing fibers, usually fiberglass or organic mats. These layers combine to form a thick, durable membrane. The top layer is typically finished with gravel, a mineral cap sheet, or a reflective coating to defend against UV radiation and physical damage.
There are many benefits to BUR roofing, with the most noticeable being its durability. BUR systems’ multi-layer design provides great waterproofing and protection against harsh weather, including heavy rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. Additionally, the gravel top layer provides fire resistance and UV protection. Even better? BUR roofing requires little maintenance and can last 20 to 30 years if properly installed and maintained.
