Roof Type: Single Ply

Modified Bitumen

Asphalt-based, flexible in extreme temperatures, resistant to punctures, and highly durable (40+ years). Can be applied over existing roofs to reduce costs.

Benefits of Single-Ply Roofing

• Puncture Resistant: Single-ply membranes are engineered to withstand punctures, providing a durable solution for high-traffic or debris-prone areas.
• UV Resistant: Manufactured with UV stabilizers and reflective additives to prevent material degradation and prolong roof life.
• Energy Efficient: Reflective surfaces reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs and improving overall energy efficiency.
• Heat Fused: Heat-fused seams create a watertight bond, enhancing durability and reducing the risk of leaks.
• Bacteria Resistant: Its material composition minimizes mold and bacterial growth, ensuring long-term performance and hygiene.
• Cost Effective: With lower installation and maintenance costs, single-ply roofing provides excellent value over its lifespan.
• 15 – 40+ Year Lifespan: Depending on the membrane type, single-ply roofs can provide decades of reliable protection.
