Single Ply Commercial Roofing
Bituminous Commercial Roofing
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Membranes
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.
Membranes
GlasBase Plus
Meets the requirements of ASTM D 4601, Type II
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.
SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) Synthetic Rubber and High Quality Asphalt Blend: Brings elasticity and flexibility to the sheet; lays flat virtually eliminating wrinkles resulting in fast, efficient applications.
Fully-Coated Mat: No pinholes prevent asphalt bleed-through, eliminating splitting problems associated with excessive membrane attachment to nailable decks. Excellent nail retention properties and resistance to uplift forces. Virtually eliminates wrinkling, resulting in fast, efficient applications.
Non Porous Composition: Allows the product to be used as a ply sheet in systems that employ cold process mastics such as JM BUR Adhesive.
Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic base sheets. Provides a solid dimensionally stable substrate for other roofing membrane components.
Surfacing: Fine mineral parting agent
GlasKap
Meets the requirements of ASTM D 3909
GlasKap is used as a cap sheet in a variety of built up roofing systems.
Asphalt Coated, Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic cap sheets.
Ceramic-Coated Granules: Provide protection to the underlying bitumen and membrane, and have a low maintenance cost compared to roofs that use coatings.
GlasKap CR G
Meets the requirements of ASTM D 3909
GlasKap CR G is intended to be used as a cap or flashing sheet in built up roofing systems.
Reflective Roofing Granules: Specifically engineered for high reflectivity, durability and optimal embedment in the BUR asphalt sheet.
High-Quality Asphalt Coating: Lends elasticity and flexibility to the sheet and provides waterproofing value.
Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic cap sheets.
Color: Reflective cool roof bright white roofing granules.
GlasKap Plus
Meets the requirements of ASTM D 3909
GlasKap Plus is used as a cap sheet in a variety of built up roofing systems.
SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) Synthetic Rubber and High Quality Asphalt Blend: Brings elasticity and flexibility to the sheet; lays flat virtually eliminating wrinkles resulting in fast, efficient applications. Provides better elongation and cold flexibility properties than traditional asphaltic cap sheets.
Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic cap sheets.
Ceramic-Coated Granules: Provide protection to the underlying bitumen and membrane, and have a low maintenance cost compared to roofs that use coatings.
GlasPly IV
Material meets the requirements of ASTM D 2178, Type IV
GlasPly IV is intended for use as an interply in any built up roofing or modified bitumen roofing system.
Excellent Porosity: Easy to handle, lays flat, minimizes workmanshiprelated problems such as fishmouths, wrinkles and ridges. Allows the product to readily accept hot asphalt and disperses it throughout the entire felt, to stabilize asphalt after cooling.
Asphalt Impregnated, Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Offers consistent tensile strength and tear resistance. Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic ply sheets. Provides a solid dimensionally stable substrate for other roofing membrane components.
Laying Lines: Before the product is wound into rolls, it is imprinted with laying lines on the top surface so the roofing mechanic can install the felt with the proper exposure and provide the correct number of plies.
Surfacing: Liquid parting agent eliminates sticking when the felt is unrolled.
GlasPly Premier
Material meets the requirements of ASTM D 2178, Type VI
GlasPly Premier is intended for use as an interply in any built up roofing or modified bitumen roofing system.
Excellent Porosity: Allows the product to readily accept hot asphalt and disperse it throughout the entire felt, to stabilize the asphalt after cooling.
Asphalt Impregnated, Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Delivers high tensile strength to resist splitting that can be caused by rooftop stresses. Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic ply sheets. Provides a solid dimensionally stable substrate for other roofing membrane components.
Laying Lines: Before the product is wound into rolls, it is imprinted with laying lines on the top surface so the roofing mechanic can install the felt with the proper exposure and provide the correct number of plies
Surfacing: Liquid parting agent eliminates sticking when the felt is unrolled.
GlasTite Flexible
Meets the requirements of ASTM D 4601, Type II
GlasTite Flexible is intended to be used as a base sheet, ply sheet, or flashing membrane in built up roofing systems.
Fiber Glass/Polyester Composite Reinforcement Mat: Provides superior flexibility and conformability, making it easy and quick to install. Exceptionally high tensile strength delivers superior protection against splitting as well as excellent puncture and tear resistance to prevent damage often caused by rooftop traffic.
Ideal for Flashing Systems: Superior flexibility and conformability allows the mechanics to easily and quickly install tight flashing systems and make it ideal for all roof terminations, including parapet walls, skylights, roof penetrations, drains, vents and roof edges. GlasTite Flexible does not bridge at the cant and will not pull away from the substrate after it has been installed.
Laying Lines: Laying lines are imprinted on the top surface so the roofing mechanic can install the felt with the proper exposure and provide the correct number of plies.
Surfacing: Fine mineral parting agent
PermaPly 28
Material meets the requirements of ASTM D 4601, Type II
PermaPly 28 is designed for use as the first or base sheet in built up roofing or modified bitumen roof assemblies.
Lightweight: Exceptionally pliable, easy to handle and lays flat.
Asphalt Coating: Makes it suitable as an intermediate or ply felt in cold-applied built-up and modified bitumen roof assemblies.
Ideal for Mechanical Attachment: Use where mechanical attachment of the membrane to the roof substrate or deck is desired.
Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic base or ply sheets. Provides a solid dimensionally stable substrate for other roofing membrane components.
Laying Lines: Laying lines are imprinted on the top surface so the roofing mechanic can install the felt with the proper exposure and provide the correct number of plies.
Surfacing: Fine mineral parting agent.
Ventsulation
Material meets the requirements of ASTM D 4897, Type II
Ventsulation Felt may be used as a base sheet for any built up roofing or modified bitumen roofing system to be installed over a substrate that potentially contains moisture.
1" Embossed Waffle Pattern Grid Channels: Promotes moisture vapor venting. Helps prevent blistering of asphalt-based roofs when installed over potential moisture-containing substrates such as: Re-covers over existing roof membranes, lightweight insulating fill or gypsum decks.
Fiber Glass Reinforcement Mat: Low moisture, excellent dimensional stability and resistance to rot make it an ideal replacement for organic base sheets. Provides a solid dimensionally stable substrate for other roofing membrane components.
