The roof is the structural integrity of your commercial facility. Protect your building, employees, equipment and important business materials with a dependable roofing system. Modified bitumen (Mod-Bit) is one of the most popular choices and a modern alternative to older roofing materials. What are the benefits of modified bitumen for commercial industrial roofing?
Two Material Options
To create modified bitumen membrane, asphalt is modified with synthetic rubber or plastic. Mod-Bit APP is the plastic type, which is torch-applied, while synthetic rubber asphalt (SBS) can be torch, hot-mopped or cold-adhesive applied. Mod-Bit SBS requires less heat and is often installed quicker than APP, making it ideal for expedited projects.
Benefits of Mod-Bit
Modified bitumen roofing membrane is designed to be highly weather and impact-resistant. During strong storms, you won’t have to worry about inclement conditions or debris puncturing the material. In addition to Mod-Bit’s ability to withstand wind, hail and fire, it also offers:
- Flexibility and durability
- Tensile strength against heavy loads
- Leak prevention via melted seams
- Thermal and structural movement
