BUR Roof systems are constructed using multiple layers of asphalt and glass fiber mat reinforced roofing felts that build-up a relatively thick overall membrane. The top of the BUR (built-up) roof is then flooded with asphalt and aggregate is broadcasted into the fluid aggregate. This process creates a protective top layer that provides outstanding durability and protection against UV. Another option is to apply a flood coat of asphalt and then roll a modified bitumen cap sheet over the top of the roof system. This also provides an extremely durable roof. When installed by a professional a BUR can be a very good option for your building.
