Torch
We offer Torch Down Roofing, also known as Torch BUR (Built-Up Roofing), a waterproofing technique specially designed for flat or low-slope roofs. This method uses layers of bituminous membrane that are adhered to the roof through the use of a heat torch, creating a strong, durable and effective barrier against moisture and adverse weather.
What is Torch Down Roofing?
Torch Down Roofing involves applying layers of waterproof membrane, usually made of polymer-modified asphalt (SBS or APP), which are adhered to the roof by heat. The process uses a propane gas torch to fuse the material to the roof surface, ensuring a watertight bond that protects against leaks and water damage.
This method is highly recommended for flat or low-slope roofs in residential and commercial applications due to its resistance to extreme weather conditions and long-term durability.
Benefits of Torch Down Roofingc
- Effective Waterproofing
- High Durability
- Weather Resistance
- Easy Maintenance
- Energy Compatibility
Although Torch Down Roofing is very durable, it is important to perform periodic inspections to ensure that the roof remains in top condition. We offer maintenance plans that include detailed inspections and preventative repairs, helping to extend the life of your roofing system and avoid costly repairs in the future.
Our Torch Down Roofing Process
Roof Inspection and Preparation
We perform a thorough inspection to ensure that the roof surface is clean, level and free of any debris.
Application of the First Layer
We begin by applying a base coat of bituminous material that acts as a primary barrier.
Heat Torch Fusion
Using a propane torch, we melt the bituminous membrane in successive layers, ensuring perfect adhesion to the base coat and roof surfaces.
Final Coating and Finishing
We apply a final layer of membrane, which includes a surface resistant to UV radiation, climatic wear and light traffic.
