What is Torch-On Roofing?
Torch-on roofing, also known as modified bitumen roofing, is a high-performance roofing system designed specifically for flat or low-slope roofs. It consists of multiple layers of bitumen-based membranes that are heat-welded together using a propane torch, creating a seamless, waterproof barrier.
Benefits of Torch On Roofing
Superior Waterproofing
The heat-welded seams create an impenetrable barrier against water infiltration.
Durability
Torch-on roofing can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance, standing up to harsh weather conditions.
Flexibility
The material remains flexible in extreme temperatures, reducing the risk of cracks and tears.
UV Resistance
Many torch-on roofing systems offer excellent UV protection, helping to extend the roof's lifespan.
Energy Efficiency
Light-colored torch-on roofing can reflect sunlight, potentially reducing cooling costs.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, torch-on roofing requires minimal upkeep.

The Torch-On Roofing Process
Understanding the torch-on roofing process can help you prepare for your project. Here's how we approach torch-on roofing at Spartan Roofing
Initial Assessment
We'll inspect your existing roof and discuss your needs and budget.
Preparation
The roof surface is cleaned and prepared for the new installation.
Base Layer Application
A base sheet is mechanically fastened or adhered to the roof deck.
Membrane Installation
Rolls of modified bitumen membrane are carefully positioned on the roof.
Heat Welding
Using a propane torch, we heat the underside of the membrane, melting the bitumen.
Sealing
As the material cools, it bonds strongly to the base layer or previous membrane layer.
Detailing
We carefully address all roof penetrations, edges, and corners to ensure a watertight seal.
Final Inspection
A thorough check ensures the entire system meets our high standards.
Is Torch-On Roofing Right for Your Property?
Torch on roofing is an excellent choice for many properties, but it’s especially suitable for:
• Flat or Low-Slope Roofs: Ideal for roofs with a pitch of 1/4 inch per foot or less.
• Commercial Buildings: Provides excellent protection for large, flat commercial roofs.
• Residential Properties: Great for flat-roofed homes or additions.
• Garages and Sheds: Offers durable protection for outbuildings.
• Decks and Patios: Can be used to waterproof outdoor living spaces.
