What is Hot Mop Roofing?

This roofing involves spreading layers of hot asphalt on the base layer of the roof. This is followed by rolling down three felt- this is basically a bituminous membrane reinforced by glass fiber or polyester.                        

Asphalt provides waterproofing capabilities while the felt reinforces the asphalt. 

In order to protect the roof from damage by UV rays, which may cause shrinking, drying, and eventually cracking, the roof surface is usually treated in several ways. For example through a spread of gravel over the asphalt.

This roofing is mostly used in commercial buildings with an exception of some porch roofs on homes and other flat roofing areas.
