THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Bitumen is a heavy petroleum product. It is great for sealing out water, resisting changes in temperature, and providing long-lasting, flexible roof protection. Modified bitumen roofing material keeps all the best qualities of this petroleum product but modifies it by adding long-fiber rubber compounds or polymers for strength, elasticity and workability.

Sheets of modified bitumen roofing membrane are made in a factory under carefully controlled conditions and spun into convenient rolls. FlatRoofReplacement.ca can get them up your flat roof by freight elevator, ladder hoist or, if necessary, by stairs. We lay the rolls out rapidly and seal their laps either using heat (torch applied).

Common modifiers mixed into the bitumen include:

• Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), a rubber
• Atactic-polypropylene (APP), a plastic

Although we often refer to the...

Overall, better long-term performance and life-cycle can be expected from properly formulated, installed and maintained modified bitumen flat roofing systems.

Commercial roof leaks often leave property managers and owners extremely stressed. Choosing the best commercial roofing solution and finding a commercial roofing contractor you can trust can be a difficult and time consuming process. Often times, many property owners and managers lean towards the cheapest options such as temporary patch-ups and repairs even though all signs show that the flat roof is in desperate need of a full replacement. Temporary repairs may get them through the storm but at the cost of more damage being done to a flat roof that is past its service life, more damage to the interior of the building and at the risk of complete flat roof failure.

Have your roof inspected by certified and experienced flat roof specialists to ensure you know exactly what’s going on. Using flat roof leak detection services, we are able to see moisture and water damaged sections...

Green roofs can mitigate the urban heat island effect.

Even on an overcast, 23° Celsius day, black tar roofs can reach temperatures as high as 70°. But this green roof at Toronto City Hall boasts a 35,000 square foot garden, which keeps the roof’s temperature at the forecasted 23°.

Green roofs in Toronto are becoming increasingly common, as property owners realize the advantages of having a garden on top of their buildings. For the uninitiated, a green roof is most simply described as being a living layer of grasses, shrubs, and mosses, planted over a waterproof membrane on a flat roof. A fascinating combination of engineering and ecology, green roofs can be tailored to suit almost any building, and can be installed on new buildings or retrofitted to existing ones.

The big question is: why would anyone want one?

Firstly, a green roof provides a mini-habitat for birds, bugs, and...
