Rubber Modified Bitumen Roof

Highly reflective cool roofing systems.

Rubber modified bitumen roof.

The modified bitumen torch down roof below was installed by us over 14 years ago. The modified bitumen unlike the previous flat roof style this one is a single ply folded roof that resembles the ice and water protections shields although its surface area is saturated with a mineral based wear. Firestone sbs modified bitumen roofing systems incorporate a synthetic rubber based technology which yields exceptional flexibility even in extremely low temperatures. Pros of the modified bitumen.

On epdm roofs you will always notice patches everywhere. This type of a roof could be installed with the cold adhesives the asphalts or the common torch method. In the final phase of a modified bitumen roof an installer torch welds a granular surface membrane to an interply sheet or directly to a base sheet. If the surface is smooth you may be able to reroof using sheets of modified bitumen or epdm rubber roofing.

Our flat roof coating creates a flexible and tough rubber membrane to seal out water. This roof is located on 819 westport rd east westport connecticut. Consult with your inspector to see whether you need to tear off the old roofing or if you can reroof over the existing roofing. This coating is a great solution for both new and aged modified bitumen roofs as well as smooth bur systems.

If your flat roof is covered with gravel you will likely need to hire a professional to reroof it. Increasingly professionally installed sheet material systems such as epdm synthetic rubber tpo thermoplastic olefin and pvc systems are gaining market share.
