Build-Up Roofing With Multiple Layers of Lasting Protection
Build-Up Roofing, often called BUR, has protected commercial buildings for generations using a system of alternating layers, typically asphalt and reinforcing fabric, finished with a gravel or mineral surface. This layered construction gives the roof built-in redundancy, since damage to one layer rarely compromises the entire system the way it might with a single-ply membrane. Large industrial facilities, schools, and older commercial buildings often rely on Build-Up Roofing for its proven track record and resistance to foot traffic and rooftop equipment. Trident Commercial Roofing installs, repairs, and restores Build-Up Roofing systems built on decades of tested performance.
