Bitumen Flat Roofing
​If you’re looking for a time-tested roofing system, modified bitumen is a trusted choice. Built from layers of asphalt reinforced with fiberglass or polyester, this system provides flexibility, strength, and excellent waterproofing for flat and low-slope roofs.
What is Modified Bitumen?
Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing material installed in sheets that can be torch applied, selfadhere or hot-mopped (built-up roofing). It’s a tough system designed to withstand foot traffic, ponding water, and Florida’s extreme UV exposure.
Why choose bitumen roofing in Florida?
Bitumen roofs are a popular flat roofing choice because they:
-
Provide excellent flexibility in hot weather conditions
-
Offer durability under UV rays and extreme weather
-
Can include reflective coatings to reduce heat gain and lower energy costs
How long does a bitumen flat roof last?
With proper installation and maintenance, bitumen systems last 15–20 years, and sometimes longer when coated or inspected on schedule. Make sure you use an experienced roofing contractor like Triangle Roofing, Inc. - we've been installing flat roofs for over 30 years.
How much maintenance does bitumen roofing require?
Bitumen roofing is low maintenance, but Triangle Roofing recommends:
-
Annually inspecting seams and flashing
-
Clear debris and standing water
-
Add granule or reflective coatings every 10–15 years to prolong lifespan.

​
In hurricane-prone parts of Florida like Volusia County, the Florida Building Code requires roofing systems to meet ASCE 7-16 wind design standards, with wind speeds reaching up to 150 mph. Multi-ply modified bitumen assemblies are certified under ASTM and FM standards to meet or exceed those requirements, making them a durable choice for commercial buildings in coastal regions.
