Built-Up Roofing

Top-of-the-Quality Built-Up Roofing

Is a built-up roof right for my property?

One of the most common roofing solutions in the commercial property industry, a built-up roof consists of multiple layers of bitumen. Similar to road surfacing pellets, bitumen is a black hydrocarbon material known for its excellent resistance to temperature and moisture.

Our built-up roofs are then covered with asphalt, an aggregate (gravel or slag), emulsion or a granule-surfaced cap sheet.

Each finishing solution also has its own set of advantages. The roofing experts of Truitt Roofing of Covington, KY will determine which built-up roof composition is right for your commercial property. Get in touch with us today!

A Proven Roofing Method Since the 1840's

Built-up roofs are perhaps one of the oldest roofing solutions. Beginning around the 1840s, built-up roofs came in two basic types: asphalt or coal tar, with three basic components:
  1. The waterproofing component
  2. The reinforcing component
  3. The surfacing component to protecting the two former layers 
The roofing membrane of your built-up roof is protected by a surfacing layer. This layer is either composed of a cap sheet or gravel embedded in bitumen or another coating material. 

Our built-up roofs provide multiple layers of protection, are cost-effective and require little maintenance.
