How is Torch on Roofing Used for Commercial Properties?

Torch on roofing is a highly reliable solution for commercial, industrial, and strata properties throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. This system uses a propane-torch-applied modified bitumen membrane to create a seamless, waterproof barrier that is specifically designed to withstand British Columbia’s heavy rainfall and coastal winds.

For commercial applications, the system offers several key benefits:

• Durability and Protection: It provides superior resistance to pooling water and is ideal for high-rise commercial buildings where urban density requires robust membranes.
• Scalability: In areas like the Lower Mainland, torch on roofing is frequently used for large-scale industrial and mixed-use structures due to its versatile drainage integration.
• Energy Efficiency: These flat roof systems can enhance a building’s energy efficiency and are compliant with BC Building Code standards regarding insulation and drainage.
• Maintenance and Repair: Professional services include targeted patching for leaks, scheduled drainage cleanings, and protective coatings to prevent UV degradation.

Typical costs for commercial and strata applications in Downtown Vancouver range from $12 to $18 per square foot, reflecting the complexities of urban access and the need for premium materials. For large-scale industrial sites in the Lower Mainland, costs generally range between $11 and $16 per square foot.
