When you own a building that has a flat roof, whether that is an apartment, commercial, or industrial building, you want to ensure the roofing properly protects your building from the elements to ensure your investment is safe. The most popular type of roofing for apartments and other multi-story buildings is flat roofing and one of the most common varieties of flat roofing is the torch-on roof.

Torch-on roofing is a process that ensures the best seal and waterproof finish in flat and low-sloped roofs. It uses an open-flame propane torch to seal the roof against the elements. The roofing material used is an asphalt compound called bitumen, which is often modified by adding rubber or plastic to increase its strength (referred to as ‘modified bitumen’ in this case). This enables it to expand and contract without cracking.
