BUR systems are also affordable to own because of their low life cycle cost. You can expect a properly maintained system to last many years, allowing you to make the most of your investment.

Energy Efficiency

BUR systems can also help reduce your building’s cooling and heating costs thanks to their great energy efficiency. These commercial roofing systems exhibit exceptional resistance to the conduction of heat between the interior and exterior of a building, leading to a noticeable decrease in energy consumption. In addition, there are also cool reflective roof surface options for BUR systems. There are ENERGY STAR® compliant coatings on the market that can greatly increase your building’s energy efficiency.

Durability and Weather Resistance

Finally, BUR systems have outstanding weather resistance. The system’s multiple layers of bitumen act as a weather resistant barrier that will provide years of protection from the elements. BUR systems also meet strict standards for uplift resistance. A built-up roofing system’s redundancy of layers also greatly decreases the risk of roof leaks. It also features superb tensile strength and can withstand high foot traffic. It is easy to repair as well, so we can keep your roof in top condition throughout its life span.
