Modified Bitumen Roofing

Overview of Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified Bitumen (Mod Bit) roofing is a popular choice for flat or low-slope roofs due to its durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. At Devore, we specialize in high-quality Modified Bitumen roofing solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Our expert team ensures that every Mod Bit roof we install provides superior protection and longevity.

Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen is a commercial roofing system made of asphalt layers that are enhanced with polymers and fiberglass. This material offers a range of benefits, including ease of installation, cost efficiency, and low maintenance requirements. Moreover, it reflects harmful sun rays, helping to keep the building cool and reducing energy consumption.

durability

Modified Bitumen roofs are highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, including high winds, hail, and heavy rain. They are also resistant to thermal shock and UV radiation.

Flexibility

The material is flexible, making it ideal for buildings with slight movements or those subject to temperature fluctuations. This flexibility reduces the risk of cracks and leaks.

Guarantee

Mod Bit roofing is a cost-effective solution for flat or low-slope roofs. It offers excellent performance at a competitive price point. It is a 10 year workmanship guarantee.

Types of Modified Bitumen Roofing

APP (Atactic Polypropylene) Modified Bitumen

This type of Mod Bit roofing is modified with plastic (APP) polymers, making it more resistant to UV radiation and suitable for torch-applied installations.

Modified Bitumen vs. Other Flat Roofing Systems

Modified Bitumen vs. Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Durability: Both systems are durable, but Mod Bit typically offers better flexibility and resistance to thermal shock.

Installation: Mod Bit is generally easier and quicker to install compared to the labor-intensive process of installing BUR.

Maintenance: Mod Bit roofs often require less maintenance than BUR systems, which can be prone to gravel displacement and membrane separation over time.

Cost: While both are cost-effective, Mod Bit can be more economical due to its simpler installation process.

Modified Bitumen vs. Single-Ply Roofing (EPDM, TPO, PVC)

Durability: Mod Bit and single-ply systems both offer durability, but single-ply systems may offer superior resistance to certain chemicals.

Energy Efficiency: Single-ply membranes like TPO and PVC often have excellent reflective properties, but Mod Bit with reflective coatings can also achieve significant energy savings.

Flexibility: Mod Bit offers flexibility in varying temperatures, while EPDM can become brittle in cold weather.

Installation: Single-ply systems are typically faster to install, but Mod Bit’s torch-applied or self-adhered options can streamline installation while offering robust performance.

Modified Bitumen vs. Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF)

Durability: Both provide durable roofing solutions, but Mod Bit may have an edge in puncture resistance.

Maintenance: SPF roofs require periodic recoating, whereas Mod Bit roofs typically require less frequent maintenance.

Cost: Mod Bit is generally more cost-effective upfront compared to SPF, which can be more expensive due to the specialized equipment and expertise required for installation.
