If you are considering getting a roof system for your low slope building, you should consider getting an asphalt-based roof system. These roofs have been used for more than a century. These types of roofs have been very successful in the roofing industry.
One of the reasons these roofs do so well is that they are very durable. The roofing materials and associated components of the asphalt based low slope roofing systems last. These roof systems are a good investment in the building’s longevity. In addition to be durable, asphalt based low slope roof systems are easy to install. They are also impact resistance. These features of an asphalt-based roof are why they are good for long-term use.
When picking an asphalt based roofing system, it is important to know that there are two main types. The two types are modified bitumen (MB) and built up roof (BUR) systems. There are certain differences in these systems. Modified bitumen sheets are made with polymer-modified bitumen and reinforced with fabric. They are made to have uniform thickness and be consistent throughout the sheet. The BUR system is especially useful when used for low-slope applications. These systems are strong due to the membrane of the roof system. These systems consist of multiple layers of bitumen that is alternated using ply sheets. The layers of the roof membrane are installed over the roof decks, insulation and cover board.
