Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Systems

BUR Roofing Systems

Family Description

We pioneered built-up roofing systems in America more than 160 years ago. Our highly reliable waterproof membrane is field-fabricated with layers of bitumen, alternating with plies of reinforcing felts.

The redundant layers give roofs exceptional resistance to water and weather. As a result, we have long-lasting, durable and worry-free systems. Few roofing companies can claim to have created nearly one billion feet of BUR that are today under full guarantee.

Products

BUR Membranes

GlasBase Plus
GlasBase Plus is intended to be used as a base sheet in built up roofing or as a base or intermediate ply in modified bitumen systems. This base sheet is flexible and uses a fiber glass reinforcement that gives it excellent stability.
GlasKap

GlasKap CR G
GlasKap CR G is intended to be used as a cap or flashing sheet in built up roofing systems. The highly reflective granules meet Title 24. Our GlasKap CR G membrane has excellent workability, relaxing quickly and laying flatter than a factory-coated sheet, allowing it to be applied quickly.
GlasKap Plus
GlasKap Plus is used as a cap sheet in a variety of built up roofing systems. It's SBS synthetic rubber and high quality asphalt blend allows the membrane to lay flat virtually eliminating wrinkles which allows for faster installation and provides better elongation and cold flexibility properties. It's fiber glass-reinforced mat gives it excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot making it an ideal replacement for organic cap sheets.
GlasPly IV
GlasPly IV is intended for use as an interply in any built up roofing or modified bitumen roofing system. It has excellent porosity making it easy to handle and lay lines that allow the roofer to install the felt with the proper exposure and provide the correct number of plies. It's surfacing has a liquid parting agent that eliminates sticking when the felt is unrolled.
GlasPly Premier
GlasPly IV is intended for use as an interply in any built up roofing or modified bitumen roofing system.
GlasTite Flexible
