SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing in Connecticut

Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based, rolled-roofing process. In this technique, the synthetic rubber modifier Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) is added to the asphalt which covers the roofing layers, giving the roof rubber-like properties.

The Benefits of SBS Modified Bitumen Roofs

Durable and thick; an excellent option for high-traffic areas
A good choice for roofs that tend to “pond,” or hold a large amount of water for sustained periods
A high-quality roofing product that eliminates roof leakage
Can be aluminum-coated for increased energy efficiency
SBS provides the roof with improved resistance to aging and weathering
