A roof protects the top structure of a building from precipitation, sun, wind, and other elements- and it is expected to do so for a long time.
The built-up roof (BUR) membrane is typically constructed of four plies laminated together with liquid hot asphalt bitumen and surfaced with ballast.
Modified bitumen (mod-bit) roofs consist of two plies of reinforced mod-bit membranes that are fused together with either liquid hot asphalt bitumen...
Single-ply roof systems are composed of one ply of roof membrane. This membrane can be any one of a number of different materials that may be adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted to create your roof system.
Protected Membrane Roof (PMR) systems are also referred to by a number of different names including inverted roof membrane assemblies (IRMA) and ‘upside-down’ roof assemblies.
A well designed roof system incorporates a slope to the surface supporting the roof membrane- the substrate. This slope allows for accumulated water to drain sufficiently, mitigating the risk of roof ponding.
