What Is Built-Up Roofing?
Built-up roofing, also referred to as BUR and also known as tar and gravel roofs, is a multi-ply roof system that creates a long-lasting option for your property. It is made up of alternating layers that include modified bitumen (asphalt) and other fabrics used for reinforcement. Once combined, the multiple layers of bitumen make up a complete membrane. Built-up roofs are best utilized on a low-slope or flat roof deck and are most common for commercial properties.
