What is Modified Bitumen Roofing?

Modified bitumen roofing systems are composed of asphalt and rubber modifiers and solvents in specific quantities. This roofing system is excellent for moving water off of flat or extremely low-slope roofs in order to prevent leaks. Modified bitumen combines traditional and modern roofing technologies to produce a time-tested, superior roofing system that has been in consistent use for many years around the world. The two polymers used to make modified bitumen, Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) and Atactic Polypropylene (APP), modify the membrane giving it greater elasticity and temperature resistance. Each works best for certain conditions and roof types, so our expert technicians will ensure the proper application is used on your structure. There are several methods used for proper installation of modified bitumen roofing systems including seam-heated, hot-mopped, cold-applied, and self-adhesive. Luckily, BesTex Solutions has the expertise to handle whichever one works best for your structure.

Modified Bitumen Roofing System Installation

The installation of a modified bitumen roof depends greatly upon the particular type of polymer sheet BesTex Solutions has identified as being appropriate for your structure. SBS is very similar to rubber and is applied to your roof with hot asphalt or cold adhesives. APP is installed with heat via what is known in the industry as the “torch method”. This entails a technician heating the roof with torch prior to unrolling the modified bitumen membrane. All of our technicians are extensively trained in the latest techniques, including safety measures, and use only the finest tools and equipment. You can rest easy knowing each crew is fully licensed and insured to do all the work you need.
