Towson Roofing Pros Offers Torch Down Roofing on Parapet Wall in Parkville MD

Towson Roofing Pros, a licensed and insured roofer in Parkville, MD is offering torch down roofing on a parapet wall. A parapet is a barrier that is an upward extension of the wall at the roof edge for the purpose of serving as a guard rail to decrease wind loads on the roof and to hide equipment on the rooftop. The installation of torch down roofing requires the use of a propane torch to apply heat to the roofing material, which is usually modified bitumen that melts and adheres to the underlying surface, thus providing a roofing surface that is sealed from water. This provides an extra layer of protection for the parapet wall.
