The Modified Bitumen is a 1960’s rendition of the old built-up roofing system. It is described as flat roofing that is in a single-ply system made from reinforced fiberglass or polyester, asphalt bitumen, and modified polymers. A way to make the roof an efficient and effective shield against changing weather conditions is that it is assembled in layers of unique permutation.
This roofing system is suitable for establishments with low-slope or flat roof structures. What makes it a trusted flat roofing system is that it has five layers of protection consisting of rubber polymers, asphalt, and plastic. With its superior UV resistance and flexibility, it lasts for up to 20 years, but it would still depend on different factors such as the structure’s architectural design, home location, and maintenance.
The Modified Bitumen has two coats: the cap sheet and the base sheet. The cap sheet is torched down, self-adhered, or cold adhered to, while the base sheet is self-adhered to the roofing substrate. What makes Modified Bitumen Roofing stand out is that it’s tear-resistant, water-proof, energy-efficient, flexible, and it’s easy to repair and maintain. It’s compatible with petroleum, so it can be installed in a tar roof.
