Modified Bitumen Roofs Explained
Modified bitumen is a transitional roofing system that expands upon the strengths of conventional built-up roofs, or BURs. An incredibly rugged-yet-flexible waterproof membrane is created by combining asphalt, polymerized rubber or plastic, and fiberglass for reinforcement.
Featuring a granular surface, this roofing type is ideal for flat or low-slope roofs. It offers enhanced longevity, minimizing roof maintenance costs over time. Other benefits of modified bitumen roofing systems include the following:
- Prevents Moisture Intrusion
- Stands Up To Windy Conditions
- Resists Tearing
- Flexible
- Remains Structurally Sound At Low Temperatures
- Environmentally Friendly
Additional Benefits
Available in overlapping rolls, modified bitumen roofs are renowned for having large seamless areas. Fewer seams mean fewer leakage opportunities, which is good for your structure as well as the people and contents it houses.
Proper installation and upkeep are required to ensure no leak points in a roof. When you partner with trusted commercial modified bitumen roofing installation experts like those at Stellar Commercial Roofing, you can rest assured that joints are correctly attached.
The fiberglass content makes modified bitumen roofs highly resistant to tearing. Moreover, the roofing system’s properties support expansion and contraction without losing shape. As a result, it’s perfect for just about any weather condition.
For those looking to highlight environmental sustainability, modified bitumen roofing membranes might be what you want. An energy-efficient design enables them to keep electricity usage low, saving you on heating and cooling costs. Being fully recyclable, they don’t have to end up in landfills when their service life is over.
