Here at Eden Roofing & General Contractors, our name has become synonymous with superior quality workmanship for all types of roofing options. This includes our ability to work with each customer and help ensure that they understand the options that they have and make the best choice possible. 4 ply is one of the most effective and efficient roofing options available for commercial application.

For starters, this provides superb protection against the elements. It is capable of holding up against harsh conditions and is able to withstand the tests of time because of its numerous back up layers. Also referred to as built-up roofing or multi-ply, this is an ideal choice for commercial buildings in this area. Contact our New York roofing company today in order to find out more about what we have to offer you.

The Build Up Roofing Process

First your roof decking is laid. Atop that will be your roofing insulation. Over the insulation there will be laid a vapor retarder to help control the amount of moisture passing through your insulation. Then the 4 Ply process begins. The first layer of the roofing is a layer of asphalt. Next will be bitumen soaked felt strips. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon compound derived from crude oil that serves as both an adhesive and a powerful waterproofing agent. After this layer of bitumen another layer of asphalt is added until four total layers have been accumulated.

This multi-ply process offers extreme protection from water and weathering, both from the agents used and the back-up layers. An additional benefit to having multiple layers of waterproofing agent is the increased thermal performance. The extra insulation allows your roof to be more energy efficient. The monolithic layering quality of the 4 Ply roofing also offers some of the highest fire retardant ratings in the industry. Additionally, because of the use of layers adhering to each other without the need for fasteners, there are less penetrations and therefore less stress points to succumb to increased wind resistance which provides extreme protection from uplifts. Lastly, one of the most popular benefits of 4 Ply roofing is the ease of maintenance. If your roof should need repair, often with a multi-ply system only a layer of asphalt or roof coating need be applied to complete reparations.

Built Up Roofing Systems

Another reason this is great for commercial buildings is that it works perfectly with flat or low sloped roofs, which tend to be more prone to experiencing leaks. The Eden Roofing & General Contractors crew is trained, knowledgeable and experienced working with this type of roofing system. So you can feel good when you call on us for installation, repairs or replacement of this style of roof. We have the expertise needed to simply educate you about this option and answer any questions that you may have.

The reason that this is called 4 ply is because it ends up being 4 layers of roofing and protection. The roof decking is laid and insulation goes on top of that with a vapor retarder to control moisture on top of that – the 4 layers go on top of this foundation. The 4 layers are made up of asphalt and layers of bitumen soaked felt strips. The end result is a rooftop that has a great amount of protection from both water and weathering, as well as enhanced thermal protection.
