Torch On roofing systems are a popular roofing choice here on the west coast. Known to be highly effective for commercial buildings in our particular geography and climate, this type of roofing provides lightweight, long term durability and exceptional waterproofing.
They are not an easy roof to install, however. Torch On roofs require the use of a flaming torch to melt layers of modified bitumen together to form a perfectly watertight seal. This is hazardous work and requires a great deal of skill to do well. When looking in Vancouver, torch on commercial roofing contractors who have professional experience will be your best choice to ensure the job is done correctly.

Torch on roofs resist water damage for long periods of time which makes them a solid choice for our wet climate. And because we experience both hot and cold weather at different times, their all-season flexibility reduces damage caused by temperature extremes. Additionally, there are options available to lighten the roof colour. Light colours increase thermal performance which reduces energy bills to create even more savings. Finally, for those looking for green options, some torch on materials qualify for LEED points as well.
Torch On roofing is cost effective, providing several long term benefits. What’s more, maintenance requirements are very low. To get the most out of your roofing system, inspect your roof regularly and fix issues promptly.
