Modified Bitumen
SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems combine exceptional elongation and fatigue resistance properties with the strength of a glass-reinforced polyester mat. Bade Roofing offers the following Modified Bitumen installation options:

Hot Asphalt SBS
Asphalt is heated in a tanker and transported to the roof by pumping. It is then mopped into place and the modified material is rolled into it. In order for the sheet to achieve the proper cohesive bond, asphalt must be approximately 400 degrees F. at the point of application.

Cold Applied APP
When properly applied, this material softens the back of the modified bitumen membrane, forming a cohesive bond between the membrane and substrate.During the application process, the adhesive is applied in a solid layer and the membrane is rolled into it. In some applications both the membrane and substrate require application of the adhesive. This application method has been used for many years, but has recently gained in popularity.

Torch Applied APP
Torching involves the use of an open flame applied directly to the back of the modified bitumen sheet. As the sheet is heated and begins to melt it is rolled onto the substrate where the melted asphalt achieves a cohesive bond to the substrate.

Single Ply
EPDM is the most popular material for both new and re roof low-slope roofing applications. Based on ethylene propylene diene monomer, the versatile membrane offers a variety of installation options including fully adhered, ballasted or mechanically attached that deliver superior long term weatherability and exhibit exceptional wind uplift resistance. Bade Roofing offers the following EPDM installation options:

Fully Adhered EPDM
A fully adhered system attaches the membrane to a suitable substrate by means of contact adhesive spread on the underside of the membrane and the underlaying substrate. The primary advantage to this type of system is that it is lightweight, does not have severe slope limitations and is easy to maintain.

Mechanically Attached EPDM
Mechanically Attached Systems offer an economical installation method on buildings where the roof deck will provide sufficient pull out resistance for the fastening system and where the roof slope does not exceed 1:3.

Ballasted EPDM
A ballasted roofing system provides attachment by positioning weight (either by cementitious paver block, river washed stones, or pavers) on top of the roof assembly to hold in place the insulation and the roof membrane. Ballasted roofing systems offer a lower initial installed cost than other roofing systems; and higher wind ratings (up to 120 m.p.h.) are available with certain configurations of paver ballasted systems only.

TPO Roofing System
Thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membranes are ideally suited for virtually all commercial, industrial and institutional applications. Fire and wind resistant, they come in a variety of colors and affording flexibility and durability. TPO roofing systems can be installed using several methods

Mechanically Attached TPO
Fully Adhered TPO
Ballasted TPO
Vented Roofing System (VRS)

Built-Up
Four Ply Gravel Surface Built-up
A built-up roofing consists of plies or layers of roofing felt bonded together on site with hot bitumen. It is laid down to conform to the roof deck and to seal all angles formed by projecting surfaces so that it constitutes a single-unit flexible waterproof membrane.
Three or Four Ply Smooth Built-up
A roof consisting of multiple plies of roof felts laminated together with bitumen. Built-up roof material can consist of bitumen-saturated felt, coated felt, polyester felt or other fabrics. A surfacing is generally applied and can be asphalt, aggregate, emulsion or a granule-surfaced cap sheet.

Tapered Insulation Systems
The goal of tapered roof insulation systems is to reduce or eliminate the amount of ponding/standing water on the membrane when the roof deck does not provide adequate slope. Draining the water in a timely manner minimizes the effects that standing water can have on completed roof membranes. A properly designed tapered roof insulation system not only provides the positive drainage needed but also helps extend the life of the roof membrane. As more designers and roofing professionals understand the importance of positive drainage for both new construction and re-roofing, the popularity of tapered insulation has increased dramatically.

Tapered Polyiso
Tapered polyiso products provide roofs with durability and flexibility, as well as superior insulations values, and are compatible with virtually every roof membrane

Tapered EPS
Expanded polystyrene insulation provides the required positive slope to drain while retaining the structural and economic advantages of a flat roof deck. It maintains long-term insulation performance, stability and moisture-resistance. EPS effectively controls the transfer of heat within all roofing systems

Tapered Perlite
A natural volcanic glass, Perlite is designed for use directly over steel decks and under built up roofing. Perlite is available in both flat and tapered.
