Torch on" roofing refers to a type of flat roofing system that uses modified bitumen membranes, which are installed using a torch to melt the adhesive and bond the material to the substrate. This method is often used for commercial and industrial buildings, as well as some residential applications.
Here are some key features of torch on roofing:
1. **Modified Bitumen**: The membranes are typically made from asphalt that has been modified with polymers to improve its performance, flexibility, and durability.
​
2. **Installation Process**: The installation involves using a propane torch to heat the underside of the membrane, allowing it to adhere to the roof deck or to another layer of membrane. This creates a strong and waterproof seal.
​
3. **Durability**: Torch on roofing systems are known for their durability and resistance to UV rays, weather, and temperature fluctuations. They can last for 15-30 years or more with proper maintenance.
​
4. **Seam Strength**: The heat-welded seams create a strong bond that minimizes the risk of leaks, making it an effective choice for flat or low-slope roofs.
​
5. **Maintenance**: While torch on roofs are generally low-maintenance, regular inspections and maintenance can help extend their lifespan and ensure they remain watertight.
​
It's important to have torch on roofing installed by experienced professionals, as improper installation can lead to issues such as leaks or reduced lifespan. Always check local building codes and regulations, as there may be restrictions on the use of open flames in roofing applications.
