Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing for Commercial Buildings
People who look for durable options in flat roofs arrive at bitumen roofing or modified bitumen roofs, a kind of asphalt product. Modified bitumen can be used on the roof surface in hot and cold temperatures and has many benefits over other types of membrane roofing. Bitumen roofing is one of the contemporary alternatives for the built-up roof option.
Bitumen roofs are one of the long-lasting flat roofing materials with a life of a minimum of 20 years or beyond if properly maintained.
Modified Bitumen Membranes are made with two formulas: Atactic Polypropylene (APP) and Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS). Both formulas are available with fiberglass reinforcement and polyester reinforcement.
