Flat Modified
Learn More About Flat Modified Roofs
Flat Modified roofs are most commonly used on flat or low-slope roofs. The material is a combination of asphalt and polymerized rubber, or plastic and a waterproof membrane is created using fiberglass. There are multiple benefits when using these materials for your roof. Modified roofs are tear-resistant when facing extreme weather conditions.
They are on average expected to last around 20 years. The multiple layers that modified roofs have created high durability and resistance from water. Maintenance, installation, and the repair process is fairly easy. Energy-efficiency is an added bonus as the modified roofs reflect the sun, resulting in lower energy bills for homeowners.
