Why Opt for Modified Bitumen?
According to conventional estimates within the construction sector, a modified bitumen roofing system can have a lifespan exceeding 30 years. However, the selected waterproofing membrane and the frequency of maintenance and care directly affect its longevity.
Moreover, for buildings that experience substantial foot traffic on the roof, modified bitumen remains a reliable and widely favored roofing solution. Its lightweight design and distinctive dual-layered application make it a frequent enhancement to traditional built-up roofing systems.
Both SBS and APP modified bitumen leverage the advantages of combining various materials known for their exceptional protective qualities. These materials include polyesters, asphalt polymers, and plastic-forming compounds. Blending these components forms an effective airtight seal that protects against moisture, cracks, leaks, and sun damage.
