Torch-On Roofing

When you need a roof that will endure a long time and stand up to the worst weather, few solutions are as reliable as Torch-On Roofing.
We at GoodVans Roofing have observed how the appropriate roof can protect not only a building but also the things inside it. Torch-On Roofing has been shown to be one of the best ways to fix commercial and industrial buildings, especially those with flat roofs or roofs that slope down. Our team of Vancouver roofers has been installing, fixing, and maintaining this system for years, so our clients can rest easy knowing their roof will hold up even in the worst weather.
What Is Torch-On Roofing?
Torch-On Roofing is a specialized flat roofing system made from modified bitumen — a material designed to withstand extreme weather. The installation process involves using a propane torch to heat the underside of the roofing membrane, bonding it directly to the surface below. This creates a seamless, waterproof layer that eliminates many of the weak points found in other types of roofing.
For property owners, this means fewer leaks, fewer repairs, and a roof that can last for decades with proper care. In roofing in Vancouver, where constant rain and occasional snow can wear down weaker materials, that kind of durability makes all the difference.
Why Torch-On Roofing Works So Well in Vancouver
Vancouver’s weather is as unpredictable as it is challenging for building owners. Between heavy rainfall, freezing temperatures in winter, and the occasional heat wave in summer, your roof needs to be ready for anything.
Here’s why Torch-On Roofing is such a perfect fit for Vancouver roofs:
- Superior Waterproofing – The solid, seamless surface keeps rain from getting in, which makes it great for wet weather.
- Durability Under Stress – Modified bitumen is flexible, meaning it can expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking.
- Low Maintenance Needs – If put in the right way, it doesn’t need much maintenance compared to other roofing options.
- Great for Foot Traffic – If your commercial building’s roof is used for HVAC access or inspections, a torch on roof can handle the load.
Benefits of Choosing Torch-On Roofing
While the installation process requires expertise, the long-term benefits are well worth it:
- Long Lifespan – If put in the right way, torch-on roofing can last up to 25 years.
- Cost-Effective Over Time – The less you fix, the less you spend.
- Energy Savings – Reflective surfaces lower heating and cooling costs by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
- Fire and Puncture Resistance – The durable membrane provides defense against accidental damage.
