Trusted Protection
Introduced in the 1970s, modified bitumen features asphalt that has been modified (thus called modified bitumen). It features two plies of roofing membrane and modified asphalt creating a strong, reliable roofing system. Modified Bitumen roof systems have the widest range of application methods as they can be hot-mopped, cold-applied, heat-welded, or self-adhered. First, one ply of smooth-surfaced base sheet is installed, usually over insulation and cover board. Then the system is finished with a granulated cap sheet applied over the smooth base/ply sheet. With multiple layers of protection and many application methods, it is still one of the most trusted low slope roofing systems used in the industry today.
All Modified Bitumen membranes are classified by ASTM numbers, types, and grades.
