Built-Up Roof Restoration Coating System

Built-Up Roofing or BUR has been a popular type of roof for more than a century. It is also one of the most common roofing systems installed on commercial buildings for low-slope or flat roofs. A BUR is a multi-ply roof composed of alternating layers of asphalt and felt ply sheets covered with a stone or gravel top layer.  While built-up roofing systems are usually considered low maintenance, they are prone to weather-related damage. It is common to see effects such as cracking and blistering from heavy rains, hail, and gusty winds. These adverse weather conditions are all typical in Florida due to its proximity to the Gulf.

Built-Up Roof Repairs

Rainwater can leak through cracks and any open joints in the BUR that can damage the underlayment and roof deck. Since replacing a built-up roof requires the tear-off of the original rooftop, it is costly to replace. A replacement roof is also time-consuming to install. Although BURs have insulation to help protect against UV damage, asphalt roofs still absorb most solar radiation. Therefore, A BUR is not considered an energy-efficient roofing system.

Built-Up Roof Restoration Without Replacement

However, Troyer Commercial Roofing can provide commercial building owners, property managers, and facility managers, a seamless, weatherproof, and energy-efficient BUR. Our reflective restoration coating system fixes roof leaks and extends the useful lifespan of your existing low-slope built-up roof for ten years or more without the need for a costly and time-consuming roof replacement. Its moisture and fire-resistant barrier protect the roofing system. The only required maintenance is a periodic recoating every few years to maintain its strength and durability. Additional recoating not only prolongs the life of your existing BUR, but its low-weight material also doesn’t significantly increase the building’s load. This is very beneficial for aging roofs.

BUR Cool Roofing System

Another excellent reason to choose our white, reflective acrylic elastomeric coating is that it transforms your built-up roof into a cool roofing system. With a solar reflective index rating of 107, it is one of the most energy-efficient roofing materials in the industry. It reflects over 85% solar radiation reducing the roof’s surface temperature by 50°F to 60°F or more. That means your indoor temperatures will be much cooler and more comfortable. Plus, your HVAC equipment will perform more efficiently with fewer breakdowns and repairs. Also, your commercial operation will spend up to 30% less on HVAC costs. The insulated coatings will also keep your building warmer in the winter so that you will enjoy energy savings all year long. In addition, the Conklin coatings we use meet strict EnergyStar standards and building codes for cool roofs.

Finally, we apply a topcoat covering the entire roofing surface forming a protective membrane that creates a durable, weather- and fire-resistant, and energy-efficient roofing system.
