Single-ply membranes are lightweight, flexible roofing sheets made from durable synthetic materials. They form a waterproof layer ideal for flat roofs and modern commercial roofing applications. These include:
Built-up roofing (BUR) is a durable, time-tested system made by layering bitumen and reinforcing fabrics. This creates a strong, waterproof membrane and is usually finished with gravel or a protective coating. Ideal for flat or low-slope roofs, our roofing contractors recommend this material for commercial and industrial use.
An enhanced version of traditional bitumen, this material is strengthened with polymers for improved flexibility and durability. Our roofing company applies modified bitumen in sheets using heat- or cold-applied adhesive, providing excellent waterproofing and weather resistance that’s suitable for flat or low-slope roofs in Richmond and beyond.
This seamless protective coating is applied to new roofs to create a flexible, fully bonded waterproof barrier. Adaptable to different roof shapes, it fills gaps and resists weathering, making it ideal for flat roofing with complex details. Its durability and easy application provide lasting protection and reduce the need for roofing and chimney repairs.
GRP, or fibreglass roofing, is a tough, lightweight system made from reinforced polyester resin. Applied in layers, it forms a seamless, waterproof surface ideal for use on flat roofs. Its durability and resistance to damage make it a popular choice for residential and commercial property owners keen to avoid emergency roof repairs.
These living roofing systems are covered with vegetation, offering natural insulation and improved drainage. They reduce heat absorption, support biodiversity, and extend roof lifespan by protecting the surface from UV exposure. These new and replacement roofs also enhance air quality and provide an attractive, eco-friendly solution.
