Torch-Down System

Torch down roofing is a type of roofing that consists of levels of modified bitumen–similar to asphalt–heat-adhered to layers of fiberglass.

Used only for flat or nearly-flat roofs, torch down roofing is an excellent means of preventing moisture build-up and obviating the need for constant maintenance.

Though not recommended for use in areas of especially heavy rain or snow, torch down roofing is generally available everywhere, and can be applied in a few hours with a relatively simple process.

EPDM Roofing Systems

Why Are Rubber Roofs So Popular?

Rubber roofs (EPDM) are the most widely used flat roofing products in the US and Canadian commercial roofing markets.

They were first put in service over 40 years ago, and since gained popularity among roofing contractors and their customers.

The reason for their success lies in the condition of the flat roofing market at that time and the available alternatives.

EPDM consists mainly of oil based by-products with some modifiers and stabilizers added to extend its service life. Rubber roofing was cheap to produce, easier to install than conventional (BUR) roofs, did not require any special equipment to put it down and the membrane could potentially last for decades, as it was UV stable and did not break down when exposed to the weather.

Because rubber roofing was cheap, quick to install, and offered a potentially long service life, and with lack of any opposition from better roofing products, it quickly became the king of flat roofing and the pioneer of the single-ply flat roofing market
