Triple Layer
BUR Felt Roofing
Around 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.
