What is BUR
This is your typical roofing system as it is built through several different layers of materials to create a cohesive solid roof. Each layer is mechanically and or chemically adhered to the previous layer. This ensures that it stays solid throughout the years and through most of the weather events we are faced with. This roofing system is one of the longest types of roofing systems that has been in use in the United States. We use better materials now than were used back then, though we always strive to find materials that are better.
The BUR Process
The first layer is plywood, then it alternates between plywood and asphalt or felt. This is done until it is built up. The top layer is usually a cool roof cap sheet, this will reduce the amount of heat that is transferred into your building. This is created by the manufacturer then roofers install it as a solid piece on your building. This is heavy and requires safety equipment to ensure the safety of the roofers involved. A built up roofing system can be placed over other roofing systems or as a standalone system. This gives the owner the opportunity to decide if your roof requires to be replaced or covered. It can be created to have any color you would like it to be. This gives it a wide range of options as a roofing system. It is also important to have it inspected regularly and when it needs repairs have it done as soon as possible. As not getting these done can cause issues for your roofing system over an extended period of time.
