What Is Torch-Down Roofing?
Torch-down roofing is a type of modified bitumen installed using a propane torch. The installer heats the underside of the roll, melting the asphalt so it adheres directly to the roof deck or base layer. This creates an extremely strong bond and watertight seal.
Common in: San Francisco, Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville
