Low slope roofs are common on commercial properties. Built up roofs are frequently seen on commercial properties throughout the US. Many people don’t know what a built up roof is, though, so here’s some helpful information:
A built up roof is composed of several layers of bitumen surfaces and finished up with an aggregate layer or coating. Modern built up roofs often include a rigid insulation layer as part of the built up roofing. Fabrics or layers used on built-up roofing are called sheets. These sheets are frequently reinforced with fiberglass mats or organic mats, depending on their application.
Advantages of built up roof
There are many advantages to using a built up roof on commercial properties. Built up roofs are totally waterproof, and they intrinsically provide ultra-violet protection. They are pretty low maintenance and durable, even during adverse weather conditions. However, you should know that there are some maintenance tasks that will need to be taken care of promptly to avoid big, expensive problems with a built up roof. For example, open joints, small blisters, undulations, and cracks may need to be repaired at various times during the lifetime of your built up roof.
