- MULTI-LAYER ROOFING SYSTEM
What Is Built Up Roofing?
BUR systems are named because they involve multiple layers of roofing material applied, or built up, on top of each other. Built Up Systems have been used in Canada and throughout North America for more than a century. BUR systems are commonly found on large, flat roofs that see high foot traffic.
This traditional roofing style uses alternating layers of bitumen asphalt and roofing felts to create a strong, reliable surface. Roofing felts are reinforced industrial fabrics that form powerful bonds. Modern roofing felts are strengthened with fibreglass or organic ply mats for extra durability.
BUR systems are applied in layers of asphalt and felts. These materials join together to form a strong roofing membrane known as a ply. For example, a four-ply roof includes four layers of flat roofing system.

What Does A Built Up Roof Include?
IKO Built Up Roofing systems use several layers to provide top-quality performance.
IKO Built Up Roofing systems use several layers to provide top-quality performance.
IKO Modified Vapour Protector (MVP)
Installed directly above the roofing deck, this vapour defence layer provides a barrier against moisture.
Base Sheets
These saturated roofing felts are used as the first ply layer on some low-slope roofing systems. Base sheets are coated with sand or asphalt on both sides to provide additional protection. IKO offers two base sheet options.
- Modiflex MP-180-SS-Base
- Modiflex MF-95-SS
- INSULATION & ASPHALT SYSTEM MATERIALS
IKOTherm Insulation
Insulation helps maintain appropriate building temperatures. Temperature management reduces utility costs, prevents wasteful heat loss, and protects against building expansion during extreme weather.
IKO Asphalt
IKO offers five different bulk asphalt options to meet the unique needs of every building. All asphalts are proven waterproofing materials and can be used in select damp-proofing and waterproofing applications.
- Type 1 Asphalt
- Type 2 Asphalt
- Type 3 Asphalt
- Modi-Melt SEBS Asphalt
- Easy-MeltTM 200
- ADVANCED ROOFING PROTECTION
What Are The Benefits Of Built Up Roofs?
Redundant Systems
BUR systems have multiple layers that make them extremely damage-resistant. Even if one layer loses performance, the system’s other layers are still actively protecting the roof.
Extreme Durability
TPO roofs offer rapid, simple to install. Iron Shield Roofing provides the fastest roofing installation in the Edmonton area. You’ll be able to go about business as usual during installation in most circumstances.
Easy Maintenance
Your new TPO roof resists weather, impact, UV, and other common types of damage, making these systems simple to maintain.
Environmentally Friendly
TPO materials offer many eco-friendly benefits including no-waste production, recyclable membranes, and reflective cooling finishes. You can reduce your utility costs while keeping your carbon footprint low with a TPO system.
Decades Of Performance
TPO membranes include high-grade plastics, polymers, and other stabilizing materials. These strong, flexible systems resist decades of impacts, heavy weather, UV damage, and more.
