Commercial Roofing

• Performance in extremely cold weather. Designed to remain flexible, even when the mercury falls well below freezing. Because it does not become brittle in cold weather, it is less likely to crack and create leaks.
• Self-adhering. To put it in place, all you have to do is peel the backing off as you unroll your modified bitumen membrane onto the roof.
• Light in color and has heat-reflective properties. That means that it won’t retain heat on a sunny day, so your air conditioning system won’t have to work so hard to keep your building cool.
• Modified bitumen roofing is recyclable.

Exceptional Durability

A modified bitumen roof is made of sturdy roofing material with a tough membrane for durability. This roofing system is built to withstand strong weather and extreme impact. When a modified bitumen is applied on flat roofs, a variety of hot and cold application methods are used to keep the material in place for many years.

Relatively Low Cost

Another benefit of a modified bitumen system is how affordable it is. The labor, material, and installation costs are inexpensive compared to any other flat roofing system.

Requires Minimal Maintenance

Although it is a popular roofing system for residential homeowners, it is also widely used in commercial roofing systems because of its low-maintenance features. A flat roof requires specific maintenance methods to ensure ongoing smooth performance. With modified bitumen, maintenance requirements are reduced.

Prolonged Lifespan

Its polymer-reinforced layer promotes better elasticity features at high and low temperatures. Because of this, modified bitumen can stick around longer than other roofing systems.

• The Fully Adhered System using Acrylic Water Base Bonding Adhesive for fast installation means maximized installed cost value

• Fully Adhered Systems are ideally suited for irregular building configurations as well as steeply sloped commercial roofs, using solvent-based adhesive
• Simple and versatile Mule-Hide Tape Products make installation faster and easier
• UL and FM listed assemblies available

Strength

EPDM is a high tensile strength, single-ply membrane ideal for long-term watertight
integrity. EPDM is lightweight, ideal for new construction and retrofit systems
without adding excessive weight to the roof deck.

Flexibility

The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not
split or crack.

Long Lifecycle

It provides excellent resistance to ozone and UV and can handle the coldest
winters or the desert heat.
