Bitumen\u2019s Proven Benefits<\/h3> [vc_empty_space height=”30px”]

There is a reason that modified bitumen systems aka torch down systems are one of the most commonly used flat roofing systems in North America. The benefits of this type of roofing are well-established, well-known and indisputable. Some main benefits include:<\/p> [vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_raw_html el_class=”list-items-white” css=”.vc_custom_1602794023414{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1606861617028{padding-top: 95px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” el_class=”sm-px-7″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1590600121320{padding-top: 0px !important;}”]

Application Methods<\/h2>
<\/div>

When we apply a modified bitumen system to a roof, we may use many different methods depending on your building\u2019s condition and needs and the type of modified bitumen system that is best suited for the job. The APP system is applied using a roofing torch for a heat weld, also known as torch down roofing. This allows it to adhere to the substrate and seal itself in the process.<\/p> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1606861635902{padding-top: 95px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/stagingam.advancedmarketers.co\/centralroof\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Installation_techniques.jpg?id=8818) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”sm-px-20″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1590605820791{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

Manufactured for Strength and Longevity<\/h2>
<\/div>

Modified bitumen systems are created using standard roofing asphalt. In most cases, modifiers are added to the material to replace plasticizers. Then the bitumen, otherwise known as pitch, is reinforced with polyester fiber matting or fiberglass to increase both strength and durability.<\/p>

<\/div>

From there, the manufacturing process can take two paths. On one path, styrene-butadiene-styrene, or SBS, is added to further increase the flexibility of the membrane, which also increases the ability of the material to respond well to constant expansion and contraction. On the other path, attactic polypropylene, or APP, is added instead. This helps the roof withstand ageing. However, SBS systems are often more popular because of the rubber-like membrane that it creates, which aids in both strength and flexibility. However, SBS systems do require an extra application of a UV protective coating to help ensure long life against the effects of the sun\u2019s rays.<\/p>

<\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”mw-900″ css=”.vc_custom_1602793763428{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Because of the way both these systems are manufactured, they are considered single-ply<\/a>. This occurs because all of the layers that make up the system are combined during the manufacturing process, resulting in a single layer that can be applied using several different methods, each of which can be ideal under varying circumstances. The Torch down method is the most popular of these choices.<\/p>\n
