BUR

Roofs --> Recovery --> BUR

A Built-up Roof (BUR) is an outer covering of a comparatively flat roof, consisting of several layers of saturated felt. As laid, each layer is mopped with hot tar or asphalt. The top layer is finished with a mineral or rock covering. When these systems fail, the primary indication is isolated leaks. Usually at this point, the roof surface is in sound condition and one of several Sealoflex® Systems can be used to recover the roof with a high quality, flexible, waterproofing membrane. This also offers the owner the opportunity to have a "cool roof" by choosing white as the roof color. Once the Sealoflex® System has been successfully applied and a scheduled maintenance program is followed, the roof can have indefinite life.

  • Gravel Roof Recovery - GRR
    Recovery of gravel roofs present a challenge that Sealoflex® Waterproofing Systems solve simply, cost effectively and dependably. There is no need to remove aged surface materials. Instead, GRR Flood Coat, a light weight rubber based filler, adheres to the existing surface, creating a uniform base for the Sealoflex® Waterproofing System. The result is a tough, monolithic membrane providing ultimate protection from the elements. Full tear-off and removal of the existing gravel roof is not required, thereby not exposing the interior to the elements during the installation of the Sealoflex® GRR System. Advantages: • The most cost-effective solution to recovering a deteriorating gravel roof; • Fully adheres to existing gravel roof substrates; • Incorporates parapets, gutters and other features creating a monolithic system; • Excellent wind uplift resistance; • No tear-off required; • With periodic maintenance, these roofs will remain durable and functional indefinitely.
