Modified Rubber Roofing Applications

There are essentially two kinds. There is modified roofing that uses a base sheet material and is simply a peel and stick solution. Then there is torch down. Where as the product is rolled out and a heat torch applied which melts the asphalt on the underside of the roll and adheres it to the roofing deck.

We want to thank Scott Morrow of Scott Morrow Slate & Tile Roofing & Repairs out of Atlanta, Georgia for letting us use pictures of his work to use as a illustration in this blog. 

Scott has been great about getting pictures to us to use. Today he has given us a perfect example of how a modified rubber roof application should look when finished.

This first photo is of the damaged roof that needs to be replaced. copper would look great and last a lot longer then rubber but it might not be in your budget. As you see the last roofer just rolled the rubber up the wall. 

In this picture is a very similar roof with the same roofing system used on it. But If you see, when Scott morrow replaced this roof he capped the edges that roll up the wall with a nice 20 oz. copper cap.
