Fiberglass roofing felts have replaced organic felts as the basis of reinforcement for built-up bituminous membrane roofing (BUR).
Commercial and industrial building owners opt for fiberglass membrane roofing because it has a proven track record of durability, water resistance and chemical-resistance. Best of all it is inexpensive.
The multi-layer membrane consists of reinforcing fiberglass mats intermittently layered between a waterproof adhesive coating of asphalt or coal tar.
Tips on Estimating Glass Fiber Reinforced Asphalt Emulsion Roofing Costs from RSMeans
 | Built-up or single-ply membrane roofing systems are made up of many products and installation trades. Wood blocking at roof perimeters or penetrations, parapet coverings, reglets, roof drains, gutters, downspouts, sheet metal flashing, skylights, smoke vents, and roof hatches all need to be considered along with the roof material. Several different installation trades will need to work together on the roofing system. Inherent difficulties in the scheduling and coordination of various trades must be accounted for when estimating labor costs |
