BUR Roofing

• In BUR roofing, the roof substrate is first covered with rosin paper, which will serve as a protective layer between the roof substrate and the roofing paper. BUR roofs are then built up with alternating layers of fiberglass felt paper and asphalt. The roof is then covered with a layer of crushed granite, pea gravel or the alternative to rock: an aggregate coated sheeting material. Gravel or aggregate sheeting will help protect the asphalt from sun damage.

• BUR roofing can be applied on new constructions or older roofs, as long as the roof substrate is sound and solid. BUR roofing can be installed on wood, concrete, steel or a layer of polystyrene insulation boards. BUR roofing can be installed on flat roofs or roofs with a slope no greater than 12 inches. Older roofs will need to have original roofing material removed, and any damages to the substrate have to be repaired.
