Modified bitumen roofing is composed of asphalt and usually reinforced with either polyester or fiberglass making them a blend of the traditional and the modern. The process involves the use of two separate polymers, Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) or Atactic Polypropylene (APP), that modify the membrane giving it greater elasticity and temperature flexibility across a much greater range. As fiberglass is used to fortify the entire system, there is much greater strength and puncture-resistance. Modified bitumen roofing is also installed in various layers to increase the protection it offers from temperature fluctuations, wind uplift, and water damage.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) is an amazingly durable synthetic roofing membrane used worldwide in low-slope structures. The two main ingredients are ethylene and propylene which are substances created from oil and natural gas. EPDM roofing comes in two colors, either black or white, and comes from the factory in a wide range of widths. It is also available in either 45 or 60 millimeters, and can be installed in a few different ways. United Projects can install your EPDM roofing by mechanically attaching it, adhering it fully, or ballasting it with all the seams sealed with adhesives or specially-formulated tape. EPDM roofing is extremely resistant to general weathering such as wind, hail, snow, rain, and temperature fluctuations and even offers some protection from the effects of fire.

United Projects has more than 20 years of experience applying Built-Up Roofing Systems (BUR) to residential properties. BURs are also known as “tar & gravel” roofs due to the fact they are made up of layered felts, fabrics, or mats saturated with bitumen, asphalt, or good old-fashioned tar pitch. Gravel is applied to the surface of most BURs as a mineral cap sheet, basically, a weatherproof protective coating for the bitumen and underlying layers, that protects the application from wear and tear. BURs are one of the oldest methods for covering low-slope roofs still in use today.

Single-Ply Roofing systems can be broken into two distinct groups: thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermoset membranes are made up of synthetic rubber polymers, usually EPDM, CSPE, and Neoprene. These membranes are perfect for large roof areas because of the manufacturing specifications – they come in large unbroken sheets – which allows for large coverage with minimal seams. Thermoplastic membranes are most commonly single-ply systems made from TPO and PVC, and come with a reinforcement layer that significantly improves strength and stability. These roofing membranes are highly resistant to weathering and UV radiation. While easy to install, at least relatively speaking, you need a qualified, experienced professional contracting firm due to the incompatibility of these membranes with most other single-ply roofing systems. It’s better to rely on United Projects to ensure everything goes according to plan. After all, with us, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Tile rooftops (Clay or Concrete) are wonderful yet not waterproof. It is a watershed and considered an improving rooftop covering. The genuine waterproofing is given by the underlayment or water obstruction introduced under the tile. While certain boundaries are more sturdy than others, all decay after some time, particularly in the “New Mexico sun.” This typically requires 12 to 20 years, contingent upon a few variables. At the point when it breaks down, the obstruction should be eliminated and supplanted.

The experts at United Projects specialize in the installation of TPO and PVC roofs for residential clients throughout Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. Both of these options are white in color and highly reflective to mitigate UV radiation. The reinforced nature of these products means they can take abuse and work perfectly in areas where wear and tear are expected. Welded together with hot air, these roofing membranes are ideal for 2nd generation roof-over applications due to their lightweight.
