Built-Up Roof Systems

What is it?
Also known by the acronym BUR, Built Up Roof Systems are commonly referred to as ‘tar and gravel’ roofs. BUR systems generally are composed of alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics that are mopped in with tar. The number of pl1ies in a cross-section is the number of plies on a roof. For example: The term “four ply” denotes a four plies of roof membranes. BUR systems can have a finished top coat with a gravel ballast set in a flood coat or a modified bitumen cap sheet.Speak with an Expert
