Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified Bitumen Roof Systems are available in two types: Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) and Atactic Polypropylene (APP).
While both systems sheets can be reinforced with glass or
polyester, they do differ in how they are installed on the roof. SBS is
typically installed with hot asphalts or cold adhesives. APP is almost
always installed utilizing the torch method. Our team of professionals at Advantage One Roofing
will assess your roof and determine the best approach for your facility.
Both Modified Bitumen Roofing System types can be surfaced with either factory surfacing ceramic granules or with metallic laminants such as copper or stainless steel. If a capsheet is not utilized, aluminum coatings or white acrylics can be applied to enhance the system's UV and oxidation resistance.
Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing:
•Polymer modification to asphalts result in greater elongation and the ability to accommodate building movement
•Ability to manufacture rolls in plants, providing better quality assurance
• Versatile application options: hot asphalts, cold adhesives, or hot air
• A variety of modified types and millages are available to better provide resistance against foot traffic and common rooftop abuse when needed
