Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified Bitumen for Commercial Buildings

Modified Bitumen Roofs (MBR) are an alternative type of flat roofing system commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings across the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. Referred to as “torch-down,” modified bitumen is a favored choice among business owners in Dallas due to its resilient surface. It is particularly suitable for flat roofs and low-slope roofing systems. These roofs are composed of fiberglass-based asphalt sheets and are installed in multiple layers, resulting in a long-lasting and robust surface. Installation methods include torch-application, “hot-mopping” similar to BUR, utilization of “cold-process” adhesives, or self-adhered application.

Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing

Although commercial roofing systems are made from a range of materials, one stands above the rest as one of the most popular and reliable—modified bitumen roofing. It’s a versatile material ideal for flat and low-slope roofs.

• Compared to other types of flat roofing systems, bitumen roofs have a longer lifespan.
• By melting the seams together, a modified bitumen roof forms a water-resistant barrier to prevent leaks.
• These roofs are highly durable and strong, reducing the occurrence of cracks, damage, and issues caused by weather conditions.
• Despite potentially higher initial costs compared to other roofing options, the return on investment for bitumen roofs is higher due to their longevity and low maintenance requirements.
