Modified Bitumen Roofs

The Premier Modified Bitumen Roofing Contractor in San Antonio

Modified bitumen roofing has been one of the most popular choices for commercial roofing for decades. In fact, it’s been a commercial roofing system front-runner since the 1970s. At that time, it was easily one of the most effective and efficient roofing solutions for both sloped and flat commercial roof systems. Modified bitumen roofing is still one of the industry’s best roofing solutions for a variety of different building and structure types, too. They are durable, inexpensive, and often last for decades.

They’re also versatile. There are several types of modified bitumen roofing, including SBS and APP, and several installation methods, all of which our trained commercial roof contractors are very familiar with. Whether your roof is a conventional or inverted modified bitumen roof installation, we’ll be able to evaluate it and give you an inspection for its repair.

How Modified Bitumen Came to Be

Modified bitumen roofing gets its name from the fact that the base material is bitumen and “modifiers” are added to it. Standard roofing asphalt is made stronger and more durable by way of these modifiers which might include polyester-based fibers or fiberglass. SBS roofing systems use styrene-butane-styrene to add greater flexibility to the roof system’s membrane and improve expansion and contraction capabilities. APP roofing systems use atactic polypropylene to prolong the lifespan of the roof and to improve flexibility.

Inexpensive, durable, and versatile, modified bitumen is the first choice of many of our clients, but a roofing system is only as good as the company that installs it. If you’re considering this type of roof, you need to choose a modified bitumen roofing company with a solid reputation. Give us a call at A-TEX Roofing & Remodeling today, and we’ll answer all your questions about modified bitumen roof repair and installation!

Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofs

There are many benefits to choosing this type of roof system. Here are some of the biggest!

• Cost Efficient and Affordable: The simplicity of modified bitumen installation, the availability of the main components, and the fact that it requires relatively little upkeep makes this roof system an economical winner.
• Long Lasting and Reliable: A new roofing system is a considerable investment, so it makes sense to choose a system that will likely last you for decades.
• Versatile and Adaptable: This roofing system is exceptionally versatile. It can be applied to almost all roofs with minimal difficulty.
• Durable and Resilient: One of the most significant costs of a roofing system isn’t billed when you buy it. Instead, costs can go up months or years later if the roof begins to sustain damage. Business owners who are thinking ahead want a roof that is durable and resilient, and modified bitumen certainly delivers.
