Traditional roofing installation methods can be replaced with modified roof systems that adhere to themselves. Self-adhering systems provide long-term protection without mess, fumes, or additional risks, and require less time, effort, and resources.
Known for their fire resistance, uplift resistance, and color choices, self-adhered roofing products can accommodate most low-slope roofing projects due to their versatility.
Pros of Modified Bitumen Roofing
- Code-compliant. Commercial roofing applications must adhere to state and local government building codes. Building codes currently require self-adhesive products due to their environmentally friendly installation.
- It is easy to install. A Modified Bitumen SBS roofing system can be installed quickly and without disrupting the clients working in the building. The product is ideal for a wide range of roofing projects, such as rentals, schools, restaurants, offices, care facilities, hotels, and hospitals.
- This is a less expensive option. Modified bitumen is less expensive than other roofing materials. To get things running, only a few workers are needed. In addition, it has the benefits of longevity, fire resistance, and good health.
Self-adhered Versus TPO, Single-ply Roofing?
The roofing industry does not have a perfect product. Some individuals prefer single-ply roofing (made of a single synthetic layer with reinforcing scrim that can be used to cover flat roofs) to avoid the shortcomings of self-adhered roofs.
In extremely cold weather conditions, self-adhesive products are perceived as unnecessary. One solution to this issue is to install a hot air welder with details and seams that can be used in different climate zones throughout the year.
It is not uncommon for roof system integrity issues to arise when the product is not properly installed. Some installers have a limited understanding of self-adhered roof covers. If installation is not performed according to manufacturer specifications, poor results can be achieved. Therefore, hiring qualified roofers is a good idea if you are unsure and risk doing a shoddy job.
The tack of self-adhesive products increases over time and can cause damage to the environment, especially for the inexperienced contractor, especially in extreme heat.
