Info

Introduction• Self-Adhered membranes have been in the roofing marketplace forover 10-years, but recent marketplace trends and productimprovements have led to a growth in their use. Contractors areadopting Self-Adhered membranes since they are much less laborintensive to install than traditional bituminous systems. InsuranceCompanies and Building Owners are advocating their use because noopen flame devices such as kettles or torches are required.• Self-Adhered membranes are available in the same types of base, plyand finish cap sheets as traditional SBS and APP membranes,including highly reflective surfaces which qualify for the LEED program.Self-Adhered membranes lend themselves to constrained installationswhere access, noise, and indoor air quality are a concern.
What is Modified Bitumen?• Low Slope asphaltic roofing istraditionally applied with hot oxidizedasphalt and plies of roofing felts tomake a “Built-up Roof”• Modified Bitumen membranes aremade by adding polymer modifiers(APP or SBS) to add durability andelongation properties to create animpermeable roofing membrane• Modified Bitumen roofing systemstypically consist of two or more plies ofmodified bitumen base, ply and capsheets. In some assemblies, modifiedmembranes are installed overtraditional non-modified asphalt baseplies.
