Long considered the standard commercial application in California, a Hot Asphalt Applied System consists of multiple layers of fiberglass and/or polyester-reinforced ply felts mopped together with hot asphalt to create a monolithic roof system. Typically, each system is surfaced with a mineral capsheet that can either be pre-coated or coated in the field to meet California’s Title 24 Cool Roof requirements.

Often preferred by many clients because of its fume-free installation, a Cold Adhesive Applied System consists of multiple plies of fiberglass and/or polyester-reinforced ply felts held together by an asphalt-based adhesive. The adhesive is applied by spray or squeegee between the layers of felt to create a monolithic roof system. Typically, each system is surfaced with a mineral capsheet that can either be pre-coated or coated in the field to meet California’s Title 24 Cool Roof requirements.

Torch Applied is the system of choice on installations where either asphalt or adhesive cannot be easily supplied to the surface. The system consists of multiple plies of fiberglass and/or polyester-reinforced ply felts that are fused when a torch is used to melt the asphalt to create a bond. Typically, each system is surfaced with a mineral capsheet that can either be pre-coated or coated in the field to meet California’s Title 24 Cool Roof requirements.

As far as Built Up Systems, the Self Adhered application is the most useful in locations where neither asphalt nor adhesive can be pumped or a torch used. Consisting of multiple plies of fiberglass and/or polyester-reinforced ply felts, this system is bonded when the release tape cover is removed and the sheets are rolled together. Typically, each system is surfaced with a mineral capsheet that can either be pre-coated or coated in the field to meet California’s Title 24 Cool Roof requirements.
