Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing for Commercial Applications
For many commercial roofing applications, a modified bitumen roof is an excellent choice to ensure roofing integrity at an affordable cost. Great Lakes Roofing & Construction, a Chicago roofing contractor, has extensive experience with modified bitumen roofing systems.
A modified bitumen roof combines the asphalt-based products of a tar and gravel (built-up) roof with the installation techniques used in many single-ply systems. This combination provides the durability of a built-up roof while reducing labor costs.
Key Advantages of Modified Bitumen Roofing
- Durability: Modified bitumen roofs are highly durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas or smaller roofs that house service equipment such as air conditioning units.
- Flexibility: The flexible nature of the "modifiers" used in these roofs allows for the installation of a thicker and more resilient roof. This flexibility makes the roof more resistant to building movement and metal-to-membrane interfaces compared to traditional tar and gravel systems.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Combining the durability of built-up roofing with lower labor costs makes modified bitumen a cost-effective solution for many commercial buildings.
Having Great Lakes Roofing & Construction install a modified bitumen roofing system on your commercial structure ensures a high-quality roof that will provide many years of protection and service.
