SECURE YOUR NORTH SHORE PROPERTY WITH TORCH-ON & FLAT ROOFING FROM AMEX ROOFING
Does your home or commercial building have a flat roof? Concerned about water pooling, leaks, and costly damage? Our experienced flat-roofing specialists deliver durable, waterproof torch-on roofing systems designed for Vancouver’s heavy rainfall.
Torch-on roofing — also called modified bitumen roofing — is one of the most reliable solutions for flat and low-slope roofs, especially in the rainy climate of North and West Vancouver.
This advanced system uses layers of modified bitumen that are heated with a propane torch to bond seamlessly to the roof surface, creating a durable, watertight, low-maintenance roofing membrane.
Torch-on roofing is:
100% waterproof
Highly resistant to UV and heat
Safe and low-odour compared to old tar & gravel systems
Long-lasting (up to 20+ years)
A great choice for homes, commercial buildings, garages, and additions
Because torch-on roofing requires precise heating and skilled application, it’s essential to hire a certified, experienced roofing crew.
At Amex Roofing & Drainage Ltd., our flat-roofing installers have decades of experience delivering safe, dependable, high-quality torch-on roofs.
Torch-On & Flat Roofing Services
HOW TORCH-ON ROOFING WORKS
✓ Modified Bitumen Membranes
Multiple layers of asphalt-based sheets reinforced with fiberglass or polyester.
✓ Heat-Applied Installation
A propane torch melts the underside of the membrane, bonding it directly to the roof deck.
✓ Watertight Seal
The layers fuse together to create a continuous waterproof barrier.
✓ Reliable in Extreme Weather
Torch-on roofs hold up against heavy rain, high winds, and UV exposure.
✓ Low Odour, Safer Application
Unlike tar & gravel roofs, torch-on roofing emits minimal fumes and is safer to work around.
