Toronto Flat Roof Installation

We are local Toronto roofers, specializing in the following flat roofing systems.

• Built-up roofing more often referred to as “tar and gravel” roofing are installed using several layers of roofing membrane made with asphalt, felt and bitumen. It is assembled in 3 or 4 layers of alternating ply membrane and tar, with the bottom sheet mechanically fastened to the roof deck or insulation. It is topped off with gravel, stones or other mineral to protect form weather and UV rays.  
• Modified Bitumen is a standard roofing asphalt that is reinforced with fiberglass or polyester fiber matting. This makes for a strong, flexible and durable roofing membrane. Modified bitumen is a 2-ply roofing system and can be applied using heat from a blow torch or with the use of cold adhesives.  
• EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is an extremely strong, durable and elastic synthetic rubber. In fact, it is one of the most long lasting commercial flat roofing systems in the market. EPDM is known to resist all types of weather from hailstorms to strong winds. It has superior resistance to fire and heat as well as withstand harsh ozone and UV radiation.  
• Single-ply roofing membranes are compound synthetic sheets manufactured with increased strength, durability and longevity. They are often categorized as thermoplastics such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and thermosets such as EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer.
