The Key Advantages of BUR:

  • Unmatched Redundancy
    Unlike a single-ply roof (where one small tear can lead to a leak), a 4-ply BUR system has four distinct layers of waterproofing. Even if the top layer is damaged, the layers beneath continue to protect your building’s interior.
  • Superior Puncture Resistance
    Because it is composed of multiple layers of bitumen and often topped with gravel, BUR is the best choice for roofs that experience heavy foot traffic or house heavy mechanical equipment.
  • Excellent Fire Rating
    The combination of asphalt and a gravel surfacing provides a natural fire-retardant barrier. BUR systems consistently achieve high fire-resistance ratings, which can be a critical safety factor for industrial facilities.
