What is torch down roofing?

Torch down and torch applied elastomeric coatings are often cited as a solution for extending the life of roofs. However, given that most torch downs and torch application work is performed by asphalt contractors, it’s no wonder there exists some debate on how effective those materials actually are at causing new roof failure. Sadly, some people who sell asphalt roofs give the public false information about torch down roofing. They say you can put a elastomeric coating or torch on top of plywood without ventilation. This is not true. During torch down roofing torch application, a torch is used for melting tar and pitch. You can not put a torch on top of plywood without ventilation because the rubber will melt and make a huge mess.

Torch Applied Coatings or Black Asphalt?

Most people who torch down roofs use torch applied coatings rather than regular black asphalt to ensure the roof lasts as long as possible, ultimately saving them money in the long run. There’s alot of misinformation about torch downs that needs to be corrected before more damage is done by contractors who don’t know what they’re doing.

In most cases when it comes to torch down roofing , an asphalt strip shingle roof has been installed over wood sheathing directly over a cold deck or insulation board with no ventilation space below the deck or sheathing. In cold climates, this may result in ice dams forming under the asphalt shingles unless special steps are taken to ensure proper ventilation and insulation below the deck.

Environmental Factors

In warm or hot climates, problems can occur as well if torch down roofing is done without proper ventilation space being created. The torch down roofing process involves melting asphalt to adhere torch down torch applications to the roof surface. During that process a lot of heat is generated and it can cause some surfaces on the roof sheathing/decking underneath the torch applied sealer to become soft from too much heat buildup. This can lead those areas to fail prematurely as well as shortens the life of any materials used during torch down roofing .

These issues aren’t always apparent right away especially in cases where torch down roofing has been done for many years. The torch applied elastomeric coating often begins to show signs of wear and tear which could eventually lead to leaks. Often times, torch downs are performed without proper ventilation which leads to future problems with the torch down roofing service.

The same applies if torch down roofing is done without ventilation space below the deck. If you don’t remove that material then it will cause problems such as what was discussed earlier unless you plan on replacing torch down roofing every couple of decades after it fails over time.

The best way to protect your commercial roof is to hire experienced professionals who know how to create proper ventilation space underneath the deck when torch applying materials during torch applied sealers , especially during a torch down where there’s a lot of heat being created underneath the deck.
