Modified bitumen

Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: Modified bitumen is a roofing material made by combining asphalt with polymerized rubber or plastic, and reinforcing it with fiberglass or polyester. It's a durable, flexible, and waterproof membrane commonly used on flat or low-slope roofs for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. Modified bitumen roofing systems offer several advantages, including high tensile strength (resistance to punctures and tears), excellent waterproofing (especially in multi-layer systems), and energy efficiency due to high UV resistance. Installation methods include peel-and-stick (less reliable) and torch-down (more reliable, professionally installed). The material has been used since the 1960s and is a popular, cost-effective alternative to traditional built-up roofing systems.
