Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing
- Exceptional Durability
- Modified Bitumen is well-known for its remarkable durability. It can withstand harsh weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and other environmental stressors. Whether dealing with high heat, freezing temperatures, or heavy rainfall, this roofing system offers long-term protection and peace of mind.
- Superior Waterproofing
- The roofing material provides exceptional waterproofing, preventing leaks and water infiltration. Its layered construction ensures that moisture is kept out, maintaining the integrity of the building. This makes it particularly well-suited for areas with frequent rainfall or snow.
- Energy Efficient Options
- Modified Bitumen roofs are available with Cool Roof reflective granulated membranes, designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption. This helps to reduce the building's cooling costs, improving energy efficiency and creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
- Flexible and Expandable
- The addition of polymers such as SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) or APP (Atactic Polypropylene) enhances the flexibility of the bitumen. This allows the roofing system to adapt to temperature fluctuations without cracking, ensuring long-term integrity even in extreme climates. Whether in hot summers or cold winters, Modified Bitumen can expand and contract without losing its durability.
- Low Maintenance
- Modified Bitumen systems have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance. Their resilience to wear and tear reduces the frequency of repairs, making them a cost-effective choice for property owners. When installed correctly, this roofing system can last for decades with little upkeep required.
Installation Methods for Modified Bitumen Roofing
We offer a variety of installation methods to meet your roofing needs:
- Torch-Applied
- In this method, heat is used to melt the roofing material, creating a secure bond between the membrane and the substrate. The torch-applied installation is popular for its strength and durability, providing a watertight seal that stands up to the elements.
- Cold-Adhesive
- This installation technique uses specialized adhesives to bond the roofing material, eliminating the need for open flames. The cold-adhesive method is a safer option for installation, particularly in environments where fire safety is a concern.
- Self-Adhering
- Self-adhering Modified Bitumen roofing utilizes a peel-and-stick membrane for easy and efficient installation. This method is especially beneficial for projects that require a quick and safe installation process, as the adhesive backing ensures a secure bond without the need for heat or additional adhesives.
