Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified Bitumen Roof Services

Flat roofs have been around for a long time. They are popular for commercial buildings, but now they are also popular for residential buildings. One of the most common flat roof options is Modified Bitumen.

Modified Bitumen was developed in Europe during the 1960s, and it is a rendition of the old built-up roofing (BUR) system. Modified Bitumen flat roofing is a single-ply system made of asphalt bitumen, modified with polymers, and reinforced with fiberglass and/or polyester. 

It is assembled in a unique permutation of layers that compound to increase the roof’s effectiveness. It’s this permutation of materials that gives Modified Bitumen competitive advantages that few other roofing systems can match.

Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing:

- Extra layers of protection from the sun and other elements. This includes ultraviolet light, intense heat, rainwater runoff, hailstones, and strong winds. There is also a polymeric membrane that aids in waterproofing to help resist ponding water on top of the roof. There are many other advantages that our South Florida commercial roofers can share with you.
