Abstract

The disclosure describes built-up roofing having improved resistance to spreading of fire, fabricated from two or more layers of felt impregnated with asphalt based saturant with asphalt based coating spread on top of each felt layer; the saturant asphalt or coating asphalt or both are blends of 90 - 45% asphalt with 10 - 55% sulfur. The roofing is built-up in the conventional manner by "mopping" fluid asphalt based coating onto felt layers impregnated with asphalt based impregnant. A protective layer of inert mineral aggregate (e.g. gravel) optionally covers the top coating.
