Description:

 

These roofing systems are typically a single sheet, reinforced in the middle with either a polyester or fiberglass mat for strength and modified with rubberized asphalt.  This allows the roof to expand and contract with building movement.  The Modified sheet should be installed over a mechanically fastened base-sheet.  These systems are mopped in place with hot asphalt.  These roof systems are also installed using a cold process called permanent bond.  It is applied with a torch to melt it to the base sheet.  The surfaces of the modified bitumen roof  are either smooth or granular finish that come in a selection of colors.

 

Uses:

 

These roof systems are used as an upgrade from built-up roofing systems.

 

Life Span:

 

The expected life span of this system will exceed 15 years.  The roofing industry has seen excellent results from the modified bitumens roof.

 

Caution:

 

  • Torch applied systems can be dangerous and can cause fires.  Extra attention in the application phase is very important.

 

Limitations:

 

Proper installation of this roof system is critical.  Details in the construction and installation procedures need to be planned very carefully.

 

The video above is an overview of the hot applied asphalt roof installation process. The Arizona Roofer dose’nt lay any claim to ownership of this video and dose not endorse Garland company’s products. We just thought the video was thorough, and in agreement with the correct installation process of this particular type of roof system. it should be noted that every material manufacture may have different specifics for their materials but the process is the same.
