Built-Up Roof: a roof consisting of multiple plies of roof felts laminated together with bitumen. Built-up roof material can consist of bitumen-saturated felt, coated felt, polyester felt or other fabrics. A surfacing is generally applied and can be asphalt, aggregate (gravel or slag), emulsion or a granule-surfaced cap sheet.
This section was written simply to give people an idea of what a Built-Up Roof (B.U.R. for short) is and how it’s put together.

The materials and information listed here are not comprehensive nor do they represent all types of built-up roof materials available.Built-Up Roofing is one of the oldest and most reliable ways of installing a new roof. It was first known as composition roofing and started in the 1840's. B.U.R.’s come in two basic types, asphalt and coal tar, and three basic components – (1) the waterproofing component, (2) the reinforcing component, and (3) the surfacing component which is used to protect the other components from the elements.
There are many different types of materials used in Built-Up Roofing

Solve annoying roof problems at the fraction of the cost of replacement and avoid the disruption that comes with it. Roof coatings can be used to restore metal, asphalt built up, modified bitumen, polyurethane foam, single ply ( EPDM, TPO, PVC ). We have solutions for low slope or flat roofs as well as steep slope roofs.
Modified Bitumen (MB) is asphalt that has had modifiers added to it to give it plastic or rubber-like properties. The most common types of modifiers being used are APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene).
Rolls of modified bitumen membrane come in widths of 36" (0.9 m) to approximately 39" (1 m) and cover an area of approximately 100 square feet to 112 square feet. Surfacings for these roll materials consist of mineral granules, aluminum, copper, or an aggregate such as gravel or slag.
Modified Bitumen roof systems consist of one, two, or three ply systems. The type of substrate will often determine the type of system being installed. Modified membranes can also be installed in conjunction with built-up roof materials (such as multiple plies of fiberglass felt) to form a hybrid roof system. Modifieds have proven performance on residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Roofhelp recommends that all modified roofs be installed on slopes not less than 1/4" per horizontal foot in order to achieve positive drainage
