Torch-on roofing is a popular choice for replacing old tar and gravel and EPDM roofs. Torch on (torch down) offers a quick installation process, is very cost effective and you don't experience the noxious fumes associated with tar and gravel roofing.

Inconvenience is minimized by the efficient installation process. After the old roofing is removed and hauled away you yard returns back to normal. The amount of supplies and clutter are minimal. For new homes the efficient installation process can reduce construction time and the process helps keep the site clean for other trades.

The absence of unpleasant odors, formerly associated with tar and gravel roofing, and a tidy site during the re-roofing process, will make you a good neighbor.

Under heavy rainfall tar and gravel roofs tended to clog drains as gravel washed down. Standing water on flat roofs could hasten leaks. Torch on roofing is waterproof, with no loose material to wash down into drains and gutters, making it an ideal solution for the rainy environment of Vancouver and B.C.'s West Coast.

Torch down roofing's insulating qualities contribute to the efficiency of the building. Torch on roofs have a 20 year life expectancy in the Vancouver area.
