Modified Bitumen Roofing

A hybrid roofing system that is derived from built up roofing techniques combined with advanced roofing technology, modified bitumen roofing material is made up of high-quality polymers reinforced with one or more layers of heavy-duty polyester or glass fibres that offers superior strength and long-lasting performance.

Installation Options

As the name suggests, special modifiers are combined with standard roofing asphalt during a controlled refinement process where bitumen is then reinforced with fibreglass or polyester fibre to form sheets that provide superior strength and durability. Certified Rubber It Roofing & Protective Coatings Inc. roofing experts offer two types of modified bitumen roofing materials:

SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene): Installed with hot mopping of a cold adhesive onto asphalt, this type of modified bitumen roofing can be further reinforced with an adhesive backing that provides a rubber-type finish.
APP Atactic Polypropylene: Classified as a torch-on roofing technique, APP-modified bitumen is comprised of a thermoplastic polymer that is installed with heat-applied applications (torch-on or heat welded) that result in a smooth plasticized finish.

Tar and Gravel Roofing

Have you ever seen gravel on the top of a flat roof and wondered its purpose? Gravel is often used to coat the top of flat roofs to protect the underlying layers from the elements, including ultraviolet rays, hail, and other extreme weather. The gravel extends the roof's lifespan and works to prevent cracking, blistering, and degradation.

Beneath the gravel lies roofing felt held together with asphalt. Adding more layers to the roof over time allows for quick and easy repairs and strengthening.

Many, if not most of the flat roofs found in the local area, are tar and gravel roofing. It is a tried-and-true approach that many property owners love, and our experts look forward to introducing you to its many benefits.
