Modified Bitumen
Used as an alternative to BUR systems, modified bitumen is a roofing membrane consisting of asphalt and plastic or rubber polymers, and is considered an progression of asphalt built-up roofing (BUR). Modified Bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing system, similar to the Built-up-Roof (BUR) and is designed for buildings with flat or low-slope or roof structures. Modified Bitumen can be installed by the torch-application method, or applied with a cold-process adhesives. Modified Bitumen is built and designed to withstand the harsh exposure to extreme environmental elements such a storms and Mother Nature. With it’s proven track record, superior waterproofing characteristics and multiple layers of protection, it’s one of the most trusted flat roofing systems used in the commercial industry.
Other Roofing Systems
Tapered Insulation Systems
Tapered insulation systems are designed to provide the slope that is lacking on flat roofs so that proper drainage can then occur as desired, thereby extending the life of the roofing system as a whole.
SBS-MODIFIED (Styrene Butadiene Styrene)
SBS-modified roofing systems are highly favored in climates with greater extremes in both Summer and Winter temperatures. Fibreglas and polyester are just two of the materials used to reinforce SBS roofing systems.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC roofing systems have been in use for about 40 years, and they currently account for about 10% of the roof coverings in America. They are extremely durable, highly resistant to punctures, dirt, and debris.
