Traditional Commercial Roofing System
The built up roofing (BUR) system is a traditional method used for commercial roofs, known for its durability and longevity. This system consists of multiple layers, typically including a base sheet, multiple layers of bitumen, and a surfacing material such as gravel or asphalt. Each layer is applied with hot asphalt or coal tar, which bonds them together to create a seamless and robust roof structure. The BUR system is valued for its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide excellent waterproofing properties. With its proven track record, the BUR system remains a popular choice for many commercial buildings seeking a reliable and long-lasting roofing solution.

Longevity and Lifespan
Built up roofing systems are renowned for their longevity and extended lifespan, making them a popular choice for commercial buildings. When properly installed, a built up roof can offer reliable protection for many years, with some roofs lasting up to 40 years or more with regular maintenance. The multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing materials in a BUR system provide exceptional durability, making it resistant to damage from UV rays, extreme temperatures, and foot traffic. With their proven track record for longevity, built up roofing systems are a cost-effective and reliable option for commercial properties seeking long-term roofing solutions.
High-Tensile Strength
In the Built Up Roofing (BUR) system, the incorporation of reinforcement materials contributes to its high tensile strength. This strength is crucial for withstanding structural stress and external forces, making BUR a durable and reliable roofing option. The reinforcement materials, often fiberglass or polyester, are layered between coats of bitumen and aggregate, creating a robust roofing system that can withstand the rigors of weather and environmental factors. With its high tensile strength, BUR is a popular choice for commercial and industrial buildings seeking long-lasting and resilient roofing solutions.
Energy Efficiency Considerations
Energy efficiency is a key consideration in roofing, and at Five Guys Roofing, we offer solutions that help reduce heat absorption and lower cooling costs for commercial properties. The reflective surface of cap sheets, for example, can significantly contribute to energy efficiency by minimizing the amount of heat transferred into the building. This not only helps create a more comfortable indoor environment but also leads to potential cost savings on cooling expenses. By incorporating energy-efficient roofing solutions, we help our clients improve the sustainability of their buildings while reducing their environmental impact and operating costs.
