Why Choose to Install Torch Down Roofing?

Torch down roofing installation is an ideal solution for flat or low-slope roofs, commonly found on residential properties in New York. This method involves the application of modified bitumen, a material known for its robustness and longevity. The installation process uses an open flame torch to adhere the layers, creating a watertight seal that offers excellent protection against the elements. Here are some benefits of choosing torch down roofing:

  • Durability: With proper installation, torch down roofs can last up to 20 years or more.
  • Waterproofing: Provides superior resistance to water, reducing the risk of leaks.
  • Flexibility: The material can expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reflective surfaces can help reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight.
