Built-Up Roofing

Durable, Reliable Protection for Your Building

Strengthen and reinforce your roof with high-quality commercial roofing services from the trusted experts at King Koating Roofing.

What is Built-Up Roofing?

Built-up roofing has been a trusted roofing method for over a century due to its strong, layered structure. Each layer of reinforcing bitumen and fabric strengthens the roof's ability to resist water, wind, and UV rays. The final layer acts as a shield against sun damage, temperature fluctuations, and impact from debris. Its exceptional durability is what makes BUR one of the most reliable choices for commercial and industrial buildings where flat or low-slope roofing is essential.

Benefits of Built-Up Commercial Roofing

Built-up roofing is a high-quality, highly sought after commercial roofing option that is designed to create more durable roofs, minimizing your need for roof repair and enhancing your roof waterproofing.

Exceptional Durability: Built-up roofing's multi-layered design provides long-lasting protection, even in harsh weather conditions, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
Superior Waterproofing:
The alternating layers of bitumen and fabric create a thick, waterproof barrier that prevents leaks and protects the underlying structure.
UV and Heat Resistance: The top aggregate layer not only enhances durability but also reflects UV rays, reducing heat absorption and helping regulate indoor temperatures.
Minimal Maintenance: Due to its robust composition, BUR requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing types, making it a cost-effective solution over time.
Fire-Resistant Properties: Asphalt and gravel offer natural fire-resistant qualities, enhancing the roof’s ability to withstand potential fire hazards.
