- There are three roofing materials commonly used for flat roofs. Get inside information on the pros and cons of EPDM Rubber, TPO Vinyl, and Modified Bitumen Torch down roofing systems. Authentic videos show the advantages and disadvantages of each flat roof system.
Most Roofing Contractors will sell a potential owner an EPDM Rubber Roof. This is the worst type of roofing system to have, especially on a commercial roof. Watch the video to see the differences in the different rubber roofs.
The cost of each roofing system depends on the roofing contractor, the accessibility, and the complications. Very few roofing contractors install a two-ply rubber roofing system. Because they have to compete with other contractors, they will have to sell the cheapest roof to an owner.
The owner then ends up with an inferior roof due to price comparison and a few years later, the EPDM Rubber roof that they got at a bargain price is starting to fail.
We have seen this process happen over and over.
Although it is is difficult to find a Roofing Contractor and one that is familiar with a two-ply Torch Down Rubber Roof, it is still far better to search and pay the extra cost to have the best rubber roof installed.
A Two-Ply Torch Down Rubber roof with Ceramic granules embedded will last indefinitely.

Very helpful information
Great video. Thanks a lot for educating us!
I learned a lot..
Idk why you cut that roof
why the hell do you put a twin layer system on top of stone for. and why aren't your end laps staggered
is it okay to shovel snow on the Bitumen roof?
by to man?
Does this guy really talk like this?
а двух компонентной жидкой резиной что хуже или полимочевиной или жидким пластиком срок годности жидкой резины вроде выше
How much for the white mod bit?
It is called Firestone APP 180. This is the rubber membrane that has the ceramic granules embedded in the surface to protect it from UV"s. Most roofers will use APP 160. That is the plain membrane, but then it will have to be silver coated to protect it against UV"s. That is called maintenance for the next 30years.
I have a modified bitumen flat roof which the company used fire torch in my flat roof. Definitely, it doesn't last 40 years. My flat roof is almost 20 years and had a minor leak. when you walk on it, you can tell needs to be replaced. Roof companies don't want the homeowners to do themselves. I am planning to do a cold process peel stick sheets. Also it depends on who install it.
Hey Freya
A single ply torch down will not last even 20 years without any UV protection. You are correct in that sense.
We never install any torch down without the ceramic granules for protection and we never install a single ply membrane. You have both these and that is why you say what you said.
If you install a 2 ply membrane as we show in the video, it will last beyond 40 years.
Your opinion is based on one roof installed by some guy who never told you to paint Aluminum Coating to protect your roof. You got what you paid for.
Sorry
Who carries around that many quarters?
Only the bank and Chinese take outs
Maybe you should familiarize yourself with IB roof systems!!!
