What is a Modified Roof System?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text color=”#efefef”]Modified bitumen roofing originated in 1960\u2019s Europe as an innovation to built-up roof systems\u2014the most popular commercial roofing solution<\/a><\/span> at the time. Modified bitumen roofs boast major improvements to older low-slope and flat roofing solutions, including lower costs and increased performance.<\/p>\n

As an asphalt-based roofing system, modified bitumen roofing comprises a combination of polymerized rubber or plastic and fiberglass layers that form a flexible, watertight roof membrane. When it comes to modified roof system installation, modified bitumen comes packaged in rolls, and can be applied via heat welded, cold-adhered, or self-adhered methods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” wpex_bg_position=”bottom center” css=”.vc_custom_1651701141871{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text font_size=”28px”]\n
