A built-up roof (BUR) is made up of several underlying layers of bitumen—a dense and viscous form of petroleum—and coated with an aggregate layer. Completely waterproof, this commercial roofing material performs well under extreme weather conditions, and once installed by a quality roofing contractor, like RainTech, it has the potential to last up to 30 years.
Modified Bitumen is a type of low-slope commercial roofing material made of modified asphalt that has been reinforced with fiberglass or polyester or a combination of both. The result is a waterproofing material with high durability.
