    What is an SBS Roofing System?

    An SBS roofing system is a modified bitumen roof made with styrene-butadiene-styrene, which gives the membrane added flexibility and strength. It is commonly used on low-slope and flat commercial roofs because it can withstand temperature changes, foot traffic, and exposure to the elements. When installed correctly, it creates a durable, waterproof barrier that provides long-term building protection and improved roof performance.
    SBS Roofing
    • Extraordinary Flexibility
    • High Puncture/Impact Resistant
    • Suitable For Flat Commercial Roofs
    • Multi-ply Building Offers Redundancy & Increased Waterproofing.
    SBS roofing is a practical choice for many commercial properties because it combines strength, flexibility, and reliable waterproofing. Its modified membrane can expand and contract without cracking, helping reduce leak risk over time. We recommend SBS systems for property owners who want dependable roof protection, easier maintenance, and better resistance to changing weather conditions for years to come.

    Types of SBS Roofing System

    SBS roofing systems are available in different types based on application method, surface finish, and project requirements. Some are torch-applied for strong bonding, while others use cold adhesive, hot asphalt, or peel-and-stick membranes for safer installation. The right type depends on roof condition, budget, traffic level, weather exposure, and long-term maintenance expectations on each project site today.
    • Torch Applied SBS Roofing
    • Cold Adhesive SBS Roofing
    • Self-Adhered SBS Roofing
    • Hot-Mopped SBS Roofing
    • Granulated SBS Roofing
    • Smooth-Surface SBS Roofing
    Each SBS type offers a different balance of installation speed, safety, cost, and durability. Granulated systems provide added surface protection, while smooth systems can support coatings or inspections more easily. A roofing expert should check the deck, drainage, insulation, and existing membrane before recommending the best option for waterproofing, energy performance, and a reliable roof service life in today’s demanding conditions.

    Our Process

    Roof Inspection and Planning

    Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your existing roof to understand its condition, structure, and suitability for an SBS Roofing System.  We check drainage areas, flashing, seams, roof edges, penetrations, ponding water, damaged sections, insulation concerns, and previous repair work.
     
    We also consider building usage, weather exposure, and budget needs before recommending the best approach. This planning stage helps us choose the right SBS membrane type and installation method. A careful assessment reduces future problems and creates a strong foundation for reliable, safe commercial roof performance on your property for years ahead.

    Surface Preparation

    After inspection, we prepare the roof surface so the SBS system can bond and perform correctly. Preparation may include removing debris, cleaning the surface, repairing weak areas, improving drainage, priming the base, and securing loose materials.
     
    This step is important because even a high-quality membrane can fail if the surface below is unstable or dirty. Our team handles preparation with care, making sure the roof is ready for proper membrane application, stronger waterproofing, and a longer service life under changing weather conditions during daily commercial use and seasonal exposure, safely ahead of time.

    SBS Membrane Installation and Review

    Once the surface is ready, we install the selected SBS membrane using the proper method for your roof type. Our crew carefully aligns the material, seals seams, reinforces edges, protects penetrations, and completes flashing details to create a strong, waterproof barrier. After installation, we review the finished work and check important areas for quality.

    We also provide maintenance guidance, including inspection timing and warning signs to watch. This final step helps your SBS roof stay durable, leak-resistant, and easier to manage over time, providing better commercial building protection in every season ahead.
