HOT MELT ROOFING

Hot-melt flat roofing is a type of flat roofing system that uses hot bitumen or asphalt to adhere roofing felt to a roof's surface. This process involves melting a mixture of bitumen and solvent on-site, which is then poured or spread onto the roof surface in a molten state. 

The monolithic nature of the hot-melt system provides several benefits over traditional flat roofing systems. It eliminates the need for joints and seams, which are often the weak points in a roof's structure and can be  prone to leaks and water ingress. This makes the hot-melt system highly durable and long-lasting. It is also highly customisable. It can be used with a variety of insulation types to provide a highly energy-efficient roofing solution. 

Hot-melt flat roofing is particularly suitable for larger flat roofs on commercial or industrial buildings where durability and weather resistance are essential. It is a flexible and versatile roofing system that can be applied to a wide range of roof structures, including concrete, timber, and metal. Additionally, it can be used to create complex roof shapes and designs, making it ideal for buildings with irregular roof structures.

One of the main advantages of hot-melt flat roofing is its exceptional durability and long lifespan. When installed correctly by a professional roofing contractor, a hot-melt flat roof can last for up to 40 years or more. It is also a low-maintenance roofing system that requires minimal upkeep over its lifetime, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.

Overall, hot-melt flat roofing is a reliable and cost-effective roofing solution for both new and refurbishment projects on residential or commercial buildings. Its durability, flexibility, and weather resistance make it a popular choice among property owners, developers, and roofing contractors alike.

Built-up felt roofing (also known as felt BUR) is a traditional flat roofing system that has been used for many decades. It is made up of layers of torch applied bituminous felts, to create a watertight barrier.

The construction of a built-up felt roof typically involves the installation of a vapour control layer. Followed by a tapered insulation scheme to create falls, directing rainwater to roof outlets . 

A underlay/mid layer is then installed and a final mineral cap-sheet layer to help protect against UV damage and provide additional waterproofing.

One of the key benefits of built-up felt roofing is its durability. With proper installation and maintenance, a felt BUR roof can last for many years, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties.

Built-up felt roofing is also highly versatile. It can be used on flat or sloped roofs, and can be customised to suit a variety of architectural styles and design requirements. 

Additionally, the system can be used with a variety of insulation types, to meet U Values and provide a highly energy-efficient roofing solution.

Overall, built-up felt roofing remains a popular and reliable roofing system for many applications. With proper installation and maintenance, it can provide a long-lasting and cost-effective solution for flat roofs on both residential and commercial buildings.
