Triple Layer
BUR Felt Roofing

Felt Roofs in LondonAround for more than a century, BURs were the most common flat-roofing system until the advent of single ply. BURs use multiple layers of tar and gravel to create a watertight seal over the roof, which protect bottom layers from damage. BUR benefits, as explained in FacilitiesNet’s Making Sense of Roofing Options, include: Tried-and-true—Roofers have been successfully using this method for more than 100 years. Thick coverage—BURs contain numerous plies that offer protection if outer layers are damaged. You’re not placing all your eggs in one basket. Highly resistant—The gravel surface is durable against everyday wear and tear, reducing maintenance requirements. However, we highlight concerns, mainly regarding BUR resilience in wide-open expanses and cold weather.

Since the roof is one of the most important parts of your house, it’s important to maintain it with regular roof health checks. Damage to your roof can be expensive to fix if left for an extended period, which is why repairs should be dealt with and addressed immediately. The most common area of discussion regarding roof repair and replacement is the cost. It is the primary factor of concern for homeowners, but it’s important to remember that roof repairs are often much cheaper than replacing the roof in its entirety.

It’s not always easy to know when you might need a roof replacement because checking your roof on a regular basis isn’t something many of us do. Because of its location, it can be hard to check your roof, so many of us just assume that our roofs are okay until we spot damage or leaks.

The age of your roof will affect damage, and parts may need repairing or replacing depending on which material was used. There is no hard number as to what age is best to replace your roof, as some materials last longer than others, some installation procedures are better than others, and some homeowners are better at maintaining their roofs than others. However, just like anything else in life, age weakens materials, so if your house is old, it will be more likely for your roof will need a replacement.

If you can spot light coming in from your roof, then there’s a chance that you have a crack or hole in your roof – and that will require immediate attention. Go up on your roof to check the cracks, and try to assess if repairs are going to be enough or if a replacement is already needed. Even just small rays of light could be a sign of a bigger problem, so once you notice it, make sure to check it right away and seek the help of a professional roofing company.
