Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems

The presentation will examine the history of modified bitumen as well as their major features and benefits. The use of modified bitumen membranes in new, re-roofing and recover applications in both conventional and protected membrane assemblies will also be covered. The demonstration will show the installation of a modified bitumen roofing system from the deck up including the vapour retarder, the primary insulation and a cover-board application. The modified bitumen membrane will then be installed showing the base sheet and cap sheet, treatment of the edges and corners, and fastening and attachment techniques.

substitute for insulator?

Help me understand WHY isn't the Finish Surface be WHITE to assist in Sun reflection Plus reduction of Air Conditioning within Structure ?

[@leleiskindofcool]

Just want I wanted to know. Hmm.

It’s the arctic region version of roof color.

[@frankieucf]

The cap sheets come in all different colors just like shingles. It's up to the customer to decide preference 👍

in colder temperatures you may want added heat to your structure to reduce with heating costs.

are all these systems good on dead flat roofs or low slopes with some pitch

On the adhesive application, where is the can’t strip at the angles?

[@theroofer3181]

Cant strip is not needed with modified bitumen systems.

[@martinjvillasenor773]

@@theroofer3181 . . . Your information is incorrect. . Cant strip is required per soprema, gaf, manville, tremco and garland per their cold process specifications. Look it up

[@theroofer3181]

@@martinjvillasenor773 You are correct sir. Page 88 of the Soprema manual, "Install cants at all vertical roof transitions." I've never done a cold ply process, always hot tar or torch welded. Should check before I open my mouth next time.

[@martinjvillasenor773]

@@theroofer3181 to my knowledge, the only modified system that does not require cant strips is a torch down system. But the thousands of squares of built-up and modified roofing that I have installed, have always required it.

If you go that place they're gonna say "We are the best doing modified"

If you live in Arizona, this system is total garbage. I paid more for this system and it could not withstand the Arizona heat. What was once rubber material, completely shriveled up into cardboard. I'm having to replace my whole outdoor balcony deck.

[@ajelicits3435]

get an inverted roof if you plan to walk on it on higher temperatures. As someone who lives in winnipeg this system works well because it can get extremely cold and hot throughout the year and this can be applied in almost any temperatures. IF you plan to walk all over it you have to adhere traffic cap or like i said make it an inverted roof.
