As a commercial roofing expert, one of the roofing solutions Rhino Roofing has available for your business is modified granular roofing.

What is Modified Granular Roofing?

Modified granular roofing is a membrane style commercial roofing system that has been used for over 50 years. It is constructed of asphalt and has plastic or rubber-based polymer binders to increase its durability. Modified granular roofing has a modified bitumen membrane. Sometimes hot asphalt can be used when sealing this material.

Modified granular roofing can be installed in up to three plies, depending on the circumstances for installation. From here, membranes are welded together for increased durability.
