Commercial Roofing

Single-ply roofing systems (SPS) have grown in popularity over the past 30 years, and due to their ability to provide strength, flexibility, and long-lasting durability, it’s no wonder that architects, roofing contractors and building owners love this commercial roofing product.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) is one of the oldest and most reliable systems for buildings with low-slope or “flat” roof structures. Started in the 1840's, these roof systems are often referred to as "tar and gravel" roofs. 

Modified Bitumen (MB) roofing is an asphalt-based, close cousin of the Built-up-Roof (BUR) designed for buildings with low-slope or “flat” roof structures. Engineered modified bitumen roofing membranes originated in Europe in the mid 1960's and have been used successfully in the United States and Canada since approximately 1975. 

Gone are the days when roof insulation was simply used as to provide a suitable substrate for the roof covering. The requirement for a suitable substrate remains, but today’s building owners want high-performance insulation under their roof membrane to curb the growing cost of heating and cooling their space.
