Modified Bitumen Roof

Protect Your Home or Business With a Modified Bitumen Roof System.

What Is Bitumen Roofing?

Modified bitumen roofing membranes were created in Europe in the mid-1960s and were introduced in the United States in 1975. They’re an ideal option for low-sloped commercial and residential roofs because they’re made of a basic base and cap sheet system.

As the greater Jacksonville metropolitan area’s leading roofing provider, Floridian Roofing & Solar offers modified bitumen roof membranes that provide long-term protection. Our experienced team provides two modified bitumen roofing installation methods:

Torch Down

The torch-down method is preferred when working with atactic polypropylene (APP) material. APP increases bitumen’s waterproofing capacity by creating a strong bond using asphalt and a base support layer. Extreme heat is required for installation because APP is a thermoplastic product.

Self Adhering

Installers use the self-adhering approach when working with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), a synthetic rubber combined with bitumen to create a more rubbery material. The rubber-like product is installed using adhesive-backed sheets and increases the roof’s puncture resistance and flexibility.

Benefits of a Modified Bitumen Roof System

From severe thunderstorms to hurricanes, Jacksonville experiences several types of extreme weather throughout the year. Modified bitumen roofs are built to withstand strong winds, heavy rainfall, hailstorms, and high temperatures. Other benefits of modified bitumen roofs include:

Tear Resistant

The main advantage of modified bitumen is it features exceptional tear-resistant qualities. Built with a sturdy combination of fiberglass and polyester reinforcement layers, it delivers unlimited wind resistance when applied to low-slope roofs.

Energy Efficient

The outer layers of modified bitumen are specially treated with asphalt coatings to increase a building’s energy efficiency. Providing roofs with a reflective surface minimizes the amount of heat absorbed by a building and reduces the stress on your HVAC system.
