Built-Up Roofing Systems

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) has been a trusted commercial roofing solution for more than a century, earning its reputation as one of the most reliable systems for flat and low-slope roofs. Constructed using multiple layers of reinforcing fabrics and asphalt or bitumen, BUR systems create a thick, durable membrane designed to provide superior protection against the elements.

For commercial property owners seeking a proven roofing system with exceptional longevity, built-up roofing continues to be one of the industry’s most dependable choices.

Multi-Layer Protection

Unlike single-ply roofing systems, built-up roofing consists of several layers that work together to create a highly resilient barrier. Each layer adds strength and redundancy, helping protect your building from water infiltration, punctures, and everyday wear. This multi-ply construction makes BUR an excellent option for commercial buildings that experience frequent rooftop traffic from maintenance personnel or HVAC equipment.

The finished surface is designed to withstand years of exposure to harsh weather while maintaining reliable waterproof performance.

Low Maintenance & Long-Term Value

One of the greatest advantages of built-up roofing is its long service life when properly installed and maintained. Because the system is composed of multiple protective layers, minor damage is often isolated and easier to repair before it develops into larger roofing issues.

Routine inspections and preventative maintenance from Hite Roofing can help maximize your roof’s lifespan while minimizing unexpected repair costs and business interruptions.
