Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is one of the most popular types of flat roofs for commercial buildings and is considered an evolutionary step forward from other roofing materials. This is a single-ply membrane roofing, which means it is just one layer of material. While it is easier to install, there's no room for error - especially when you need to ensure proper drainage. This is why the roofing company you choose to work with is extremely important when you have a modified bitumen roof.
Modified Bitumen is a Popular Roofing Material For Many Reasons:
- Virtually maintenance free
- Holds up well in hot climates
- Fast installation
- Easy to repair
- Very resistant to scratching and tearing
- Great UV protection

Gravel Roofing
Also known as built up roofing, gravel and tar roofs are one of the most common roofing materials for commercial structures as well as homes with low pitch roofs. It's a well-tested commercial roofing material that has proven its high level of performance. However, because gravel roofing is installed in layers, it's crucial to work with an experienced roofer that can provide precision installation services and warranties to back up their work.
Gravel Roofing is Considered One of the Best Roofing Materials For a Flat Roof Because:
- Lasts up to 40 years
- Low maintenance
- Can handle foot traffic
- Excellent UV ray protection
- Great fire resistance
- Cost-effective commercial roof material
- Improves energy efficiency
