Torch-Down Roofing in Houston

Have you ever heard of torch-down roll roofing (sometimes referred to as torch-on roofing)? It is so named because it requires an open-flame propane torch to install it. To start, contractors roll sheets of modified bitumen onto the roof and then use a hand-held propane torch to heat the material and adhere it to the surface. Once the layers reach the right temperature, the seams melt together, resulting in a waterproof seal. Two-layer and three-layer systems exist. 

 

So why opt for torch-down roofing installation instead of something more traditional like asphalt shingles? There are many benefits, especially for homeowners living in the hot, often environmentally extreme state of Texas. The main strength of this type of roofing is that it can expand and contract without melting or cracking. It has a high tolerance for both the heat and the cold it will experience on the roof as the seasons change.
