Why Choose Modified Bitumen Roofing?
Flat roofs come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the materials used to cover them. Many business owners lean toward TPO or PVC, but Modified Bitumen roofing is an option worth considering, especially if you’re after something practical and low-maintenance with a proven track record.
Modified Bitumen is a tough asphalt-based roofing material that’s been a staple for commercial properties for years. It’s perfect for Tulsa’s unpredictable weather, from sweltering summers to freezing winters. This material is laid in layers, offering strength and protection against the elements. It’s popular in large commercial buildings where durability and long-term cost savings matter most.
While it doesn’t reflect as much heat as lighter options like TPO, it still provides good insulation, helping to keep your building comfortable and your energy bills in check. In the end, choosing the right roof depends on the unique needs of your property.
