Bitumen roofing

Home / Glossary

Bitumen roofing is a type of roofing material made from asphalt or coal tar that is used to create a waterproof barrier. Bitumen roofing is commonly used in flat or low-slope roof applications, such as on commercial or industrial buildings, and is often applied in layers to provide added durability and protection.

Bitumen roofing can be installed in a number of ways, including hot-mopped, torch-applied, or self-adhered. It is available in a range of colors, and is known for its ability to resist water, UV light, and extreme temperatures. Bitumen roofing is also relatively low-maintenance and can last up to 20-30 years with proper care.

However, bitumen roofing can be vulnerable to damage from high winds, hail, and other extreme weather conditions, and may require regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. Additionally, bitumen roofing is a petroleum-based product, and may have negative environmental impacts, making it less attractive to some building owners. Overall, bitumen roofing is a cost-effective and versatile roofing option that provides many benefits over other roofing materials, but also has some limitations.
