BUILT-UP ROOFING
The oldest form of flat roofing, built-up roofing (BUR) is still popular
because of its incredible reliability and affordability. It is made with hot
tar topped with a layer of gravel, so this roofing option is also referred
to as a tar-and-gravel roof. BURs are highly fire-resistant and can work
well with different property designs because of the range of surfacing
options available.

9. Flat roofs are definitely a great roofing option for commercial buildings.
They’re durable, versatile, and easy to install and maintain. However,
getting a flat roof takes more than just saying “I want one!”; there are
a few points you have to consider before calling your local roofing
contractor. Here are a few questions that you should ask yourself to
make sure you’re ready for a new flat roof.
Is the project within your budget?
There are different flat roofs available so there are different options you
can take into consideration to meet any budgetary needs you might
have. To understand better what flat roof will offer you the best value,
don’t hesitate to talk to your local roofing contractor for assistance.
Are you working with the right roofer?
Proper installation greatly affects a roof’s performance. It is important
to ensure that you’re working only with roofing contractors trained and
experienced in installing flat roofs. At the very least, make sure they
have the necessary licenses in place and can offer you insurance for
your roofing project.

10. Should you do a tear-off or roof-over?
If you choose to get a modified bitumen roof or BUR, your contractor
is going to have to do a tear-off to remove all of the old roof prior to
installation. Whether a roof-over is possible is dictated by the condition
of components currently in place on your roof. If they are not in good
shape, you will end up with a tear-off.
A QUICK REMINDER
How long it takes to install a flat roof depends on the material you
choose and the size of your roof, as well as weather conditions during
installation. A large commercial project can take anywhere from a few
weeks to a few months, but working with a reputable roofing contractor
should speed up the process.
