Materials and Installation Process
Flat roofing, often referred to as "torch down" roofing, is a specialized roofing system that requires expertise and precision. This method involves the use of an open-flame propane torch to adhere sheets of modified bitumen to the roof surface. Once heated to the correct temperature, the material’s seams are seamlessly melted together, creating a durable and waterproof seal.
Why Choose a Flat Roofing? Flat roofs are made from layers of modified bitumen, an asphalt compound reinforced with rubber or plastic. This composition allows the roofing material to expand and contract with temperature changes without melting or cracking. Flat roofing is designed for resilience, withstanding the heat of summer and the cold of winter with ease.
At Colin Roofing, we believe modified bitumen roofs offer superior results compared to traditional hot mop roofs. We prioritize safety, quality, and performance in every install.
The Benefits of Flat Roofing. Flat roofs provide numerous advantages:
- Water Resistance: When properly installed, torch down membranes create a seamless, water-resistant barrier that prevents leaks and resists water accumulation.
- Weather Durability: The material’s flexibility allows it to expand and contract without damage, offering long-lasting protection against harsh weather conditions.
- Energy Efficiency: The cap sheet of a torch down system reflects UV rays, helping to keep your building cooler and more energy efficient.
- Long Lifespan: With proper installation and maintenance, torch down roofing offers exceptional durability and longevity.
Safety and Expertise You Can Trust. Installing flat roofs involves open flames and propane gas, making it a job best left to trained professionals. At Colin Roofing, our team is fully trained and equipped to handle these materials safely and efficiently. DIY attempts can lead to serious injuries or improper installation, which may cause leaks and shorten the roof’s lifespan. Trust our licensed roofing experts to get the job done right, backed by our labor warranty.
Ideal for Low-Slope Roofs. Flat roofing membranes are best suited for low-slope roofs with a pitch between 1:12 and 3:12. For low slopes, shingles or tiles are not recommended due to inadequate drainage. Every roof is unique, and our team will recommend the best material based on your roof’s specific requirements.

Roof Coatings in Los Angeles and San Diego
Roof Coating Services: Protect and Extend the Life of Your Flat Roof
Enhance your flat roof's durability and performance with our specialized roof coating services. If your flat roof is not leaking, applying a high-quality roof coating can significantly extend its lifespan--often at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
In California's demanding climate, roof coatings act as a protective shield against the sun's intense heat, potentially adding 10-20 years to its life. Think of it as sunscreen for your flat roof that also deters water.
Roofing Coating Options
1. Acrylic-Based Elastomeric Roofing Coatings
Elastomeric coatings are liquid-applied materials that cure to form a flexible, waterproof membrane. They are known for their high elasticity, allowing them to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the roof membrane. This flexibility helps protect your roof from damage and leaks. Additionally, elastomeric coatings often come in highly reflective colors, reducing heat absorption and improving energy efficiency.
Benefits:
- Flexibility: Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction.
- Energy Efficiency: Reflective properties reduce heat absorption.
- Versatility: Suitable for various roof types
2. Silicone-Based Roof Coatings
An upgrade from elastomeric coating, silicone coatings are known for their excellent waterproofing properties and resistance to ponding water. They form a monolithic membrane that maintains adhesion and remains leak-free even under the pressure of standing water. Silicone coatings are also non-sacrificial, meaning they do not chalk away over time, maintaining their protective qualities.
Benefits:
- Waterproofing: Superior resistance to ponding water.
- Durability: Non-sacrificial nature ensures long-lasting protection.
- Ease of Application: Simpler application process compared to some other coatings.
