More Information About Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen is asphalt that has modifiers added to it to give it plastic or rubber-like properties. They are typically installed as a two-ply system and are almost always fully adhered.

There are two types of modified bitumen membranes that we install:

SBS polymer-modified bitumen – these are commonly installed in hot moppings of asphalt or cold adhesive. Many of the new products are available in a self-adhering roll.
APP modifiers are usually heat welded or applied using a torch. SBS modifiers give asphalt a rubberized quality, while APP modifiers give it a more plasticized quality.

Our modified bitumen products have two types of surfaces; mineral coated or smooth surface. Here are steps followed by us to install modified bitumen.

First, our experts often need to remove the old roof down to the decking
Next, we install fiber-board insulation on top of the decking to increase strength and moisture resistance
Then, a base sheet is installed which is either mechanically fastened or self-adhered
The final step is installing the modified bitumen membrane which can be hot-mopped, torched, or applied using a cold process
