SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems combine exceptional elongation and fatigue resistance properties with the strength of a glass-reinforced polyester mat. Bade Roofing offers the following Modified Bitumen installation options:

Hot Asphalt SBS
Asphalt is heated in a tanker and transported to the roof by pumping. It is then mopped into place and the modified material is rolled into it. In order for the sheet to achieve the proper cohesive bond, asphalt must be approximately 400 degrees F. at the point of application.

Cold Applied APP
When properly applied, this material softens the back of the modified bitumen membrane, forming a cohesive bond between the membrane and substrate.During the application process, the adhesive is applied in a solid layer and the membrane is rolled into it. In some applications both the membrane and substrate require application of the adhesive. This application method has been used for many years, but has recently gained in popularity.

Torch Applied APP
Torching involves the use of an open flame applied directly to the back of the modified bitumen sheet. As the sheet is heated and begins to melt it is rolled onto the substrate where the melted asphalt achieves a cohesive bond to the substrate.
