Goldfinch Builders LLC - Modified Bitumen Roofing System

ModBit System

Modified bitumen roofing, being asphalt-based, is designed for low slope roofs. “Mod-bit” has been successfully used in the United States for over 40 years. Its unique properties give it many of the benefits of old-fashioned built-up roofing (think tar and gravel) and some of the convenience of today’s single-ply roofing systems. If you are re-roofing a flat roof, mod-bit should be on your list of options.

Most modified bitumen systems are installed in at least 2 layers or “plies”. A modified bitumen roofing system is one of the most trusted roof systems because of its inherent thickness. A 2-ply mod-bit system with a granulated cap sheet is typically 240 MILS thick or more. On the other hand, a typical single-ply thermoplastic roof membrane is often 60 MILs. Where membrane thickness is a concern, modified bitumen is winner because of its inherent thickness.
