Torch on Roof: A Definition
A torch on the roof is actually two layers of asphalt which is melted together with the help of a torch. Thus the name Torch on Roofis derived. The resultant roof which is created is a roof which is UV proof and also creates a waterproof barrier that is ideal for the monsoons in Edmonton. The torch down is usually done on flat roofs which have a chance of collecting rain water after a monsoon or where snow can sit after long periods of time.
