Built-up roofing (BUR)
Time-tested built-up roofing.
For decades, BUR has been a cornerstone of flat and low-slope commercial roofing: multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing felts assembled on site and finished with a protective surface.
Key advantages
Exceptional waterproofing
A highly redundant, multi-layer barrier against water.
Durable and stable
Resists foot traffic, physical damage and weathering.
Proven performance
Over a century of reliable use across climates.
Insulation value
Multiple layers add thermal performance.
Restore or replace?
Aging gravel BUR roofs that are dry and structurally sound may be restoration candidates. Wet insulation, deck problems or failed drainage usually point to replacement. Get a free Roof Scan estimate.
