Proven durability
Creates an exceptionally thick membrane that resists UV exposure, ponding water, and heavy foot traffic.
Superior Technology
The power of hot asphalt for commercial roofs
At International Roofing INC, we specialize in hot asphalt roofing systems (Built-Up Roofing - BUR). We use Type IV hot asphalt because it provides an exceptionally robust, seamless multilayer membrane ideal for commercial applications.
Hot asphalt delivers proven durability with a thick protective layer resistant to weather and traffic. It creates an unmatched chemical and physical bond between membrane layers and the roof substrate, forming a monolithic waterproofing barrier that minimizes failure points.
Why we rely on Type IV hot asphalt
A built-up roofing system engineered for maximum protection, adhesion, and waterproofing.
Superior adhesion
Hot asphalt delivers a chemical and physical bond between each ply and the deck for monolithic performance.
Waterproof barrier
Minimizes failure points by eliminating seams and sealing every fastener penetration.
Superior Technology
Premium System
We carefully select top-quality components for every layer of your new roof.
Base layers & reinforcement
We start with dimensional stability so the rest of the system can perform for decades.
- GAFGLAS #75 Base Sheet 3 SQ
- Premium fiberglass base sheet engineered for built-up roofing.
- Factory-coated to prevent asphalt bleed-through and support multi-ply systems.
- GAF RUBEROID 20 Smooth 1.5 SQ
