What is Torch-On Roofing?

Torch-on (or torch-down) roofing is a blend of resin and asphalt that is applied to the roof using a torch, which gives this roofing method its name. This type of roofing is ideal for commercial properties and is particularly well-suited for flat or nearly flat roofs. Its exceptional resistance to weather, rot, and pests makes torch-on roofing a reliable option for long-term protection. In areas where water or snow can accumulate, torch-on roofing serves as an effective water barrier, ensuring the integrity of your building’s roof.

There are two types of torch-on roofing systems available: the two-layer system and the three-layer system. The primary difference between them is that the three-layer system includes an additional asphalt layer, which extends the roof’s lifespan. Depending on your specific needs, either system can be used. Our team at Frost Roofing & Construction can provide expert advice on which option is best suited for your project.

Benefits of Torch-On Roofing

Torch-on roofing offers numerous advantages, particularly for flat roofs. While it can be more expensive than traditional tar and gravel roofing, recent price reductions have made it a more accessible option. One of the main benefits of torch-on roofing is its low maintenance requirements. It boasts high durability, with a lifespan of up to twenty years or more.

Torch-on roofing offers several key benefits, making it an excellent choice for flat roofs. It requires lower maintenance compared to other roofing options and provides protection against UV damage. Its high flexibility is particularly advantageous in fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, torch-on roofing can sometimes be installed over existing roofing material, and its lighter weight compared to traditional flat roofing materials makes it easier to work with. It also offers enhanced aesthetic appeal over tar and gravel roofs and eliminates the issue of loose gravel, which can cause problems for drains and eavestroughs.
