Durable Waterproof Roofing for Flat and Low-Slope Roofs

Torch-on roofing is one of the most reliable systems for flat and low-slope roofs in Vancouver. Designed to handle heavy rain and moisture, it provides a seamless, waterproof barrier that protects your property long-term.

At Vancouver Roofing, we specialize in torch-on roofing in Vancouver, delivering high-performance installations and repairs built for the Lower Mainland’s climate.


What Is Torch-On Roofing?

Torch-on roofing (also known as modified bitumen) is a multi-layer membrane system applied using heat to create a strong, watertight seal.

It is commonly used on:

  • Flat roofs
  • Low-slope residential roofs
  • Commercial buildings
  • Laneway homes and additions
