Torch On Roofing
Torch-On roofing is popular roofing system that is typically used on low or flat roofs
These roofs are very durable, require low maintenance and generally have a lifecycle of 20-25 years. Mountain West Roofing partners with the best torch-on roofing manufacturers to provide the best products to suit your needs.
What is Torch On Roofing?
A torch-on roof consists of two layers of modified bitumen membrane that are approximately 3-4 mm. thick. The base layer is mechanically secured with plates or attached to the substrate with adhesive. The cap layer is similarly composed, but it has a granulated surface to provide protection from the elements.
The top surface of the base layer and the bottom surface of the cap layer have a thermos-fusible surface, which means that they can be thermally merged together (often done by melting the layers with a propane torch)— hence the term “torch-on roofing”.
Benefits of Torch On Roofing
- The major advantage of torch-on roofing is its durability. Its durability will help to keep maintenance costs low throughout the lifecycle of the roof.
- The roof is water proof, which means it keeps moisture from invading the interior of the home.
- The fact that the roof seals in heat, while also preventing moisture from entering the home, can help to reduce energy usage.
- Suitable for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
A roof that is lightweight, resistant to harsh weather, and able to withstand impact is an asset for any property. Contact Mountain West Roofing today to inquire about our torch-on roofing solutions.
