Metal Construction Association - MCA - commercial building construction. ROOF INSTALLATION MANUAL. Low Slope Metal Roofs. Wii Ios 56 Wad there. Bakor 1 ply vs Torch down. Low Slope Roofing. If the roof meets with the shingles I would be reocmmended a 3 ply self adhering modified bitumen roof system.

I have a low slope 1:12 on the back of my house. The roof is Dibiten (if I recall the name correctly) It is torch bonded and has worked for 22 years. It has no granules. The deck is plywood. I need to have the Dibiten replaced.

One roofer wants to use Bakor 1 ply, with a sticky back after stripping the existing roof. Is this product suitable and can it be removed in the future or does it adhere to well to the plywood? The Bakor website does not seem to have any application information for this product.

Another contractor wants to put a one ply torch down with granules on the existing roof without stripping it. I am concerned with the additional weight as the plywood is rather thin. If its over a living area I wouldnt do a self adheard cap sheet, I would atleast use a base then the cap sheet. If you nail the base down you will be able to remove it. For the torch down, he wasnt to put a flame to your old roof and just cap sheet over it. Not a very long lasting roof you wont get 22 years out of caping it.
