Overview of SBS Roofing Installation Services
The Science Behind SBS Roofing
SBS roofing is a technology used in the construction industry. This technology is commonly used in flat and low-slope roofs because of its perceived strength and durability. In Canada, there is a significant number of buildings and houses that have used the flat roof structure. In such roofing, quality of the product and installation is critical. This flat roofing technology works by integrating multiple layers of membranes.
The main substances used to make these membranes are fibreglass and modified bitumen.
This bitumen is made from synthetic rubber and asphalt, which makes it flexible and durable.
Bonding SBS roofs
Technicians use self-adhered, cold or heat-based welding mechanisms to install the roof.

Components of SBS Roofing Systems
SBS roofing comprises of multiple components. These components are necessary for a long lasting roofing system.
The first component is the base sheet. The base sheet includes the lowest level of the system, whose function is to ensure strength. The modified bitumen membrane is the system’s core element. This material offers maximum rigidity and reliability. Synthetic rubber is used to create a reliable and flexible base. The filler is integrated into the mix to create a flexible bitumen structure.
Benefits and Advantages
SBS roofing systems are associated with various benefits. The primary benefit is flexibility. These systems are made from synthetic rubber.
Secondly, the material used is highly reliable, making the system durable. The third benefit is the ease of installation.
The installation process follows a simplistic approach where techniques like hot mopping are used. The fourth benefit is material cost.
SBS flat roofing systems’ material costs between 20%-40% less than other alternatives like TPO or EPDM. However, the system is linked with various weaknesses. The core weakness are the installation risks and cost of insurance.
The torch-on or heat-welding process is done with a live flame thru a propane torch. Another area for improvement is the challenges against environmental sustainability. This system uses asphalt and bitumen, which come from petroleum products.

The SBS Roofing Installation Process: Step by Step
Site Assessment and Preparations
During the installation process, the first step is preparing the target site. Site preparation involves cleaning the deck and roof by removing unwanted materials.
Cleaning helps to remove debris and foreign materials that would compromise the quality of the roof after installation. Our technicians clean the site using organic materials to remove debris and minimize net emissions and pollution.
Base Layers and Insulation
The second step is to install the first layer of the roof. The first layer is the base comprising of a vapor barrier material.
The goal of this step is to create a protect the roof deck from condensation forming in the cold weather. This layer can be waterproof as well by using peel-and-stick membranes. Then comes the insulation layer. Flat roof insulation can be of 3 types, namely EPS, XPS and Poly-iso rigid insulation. They can be glued or mechanically fastened to the roof-deck.
SBS Membrane Application Techniques
In the next step, technicians use techniques like a torch, heat welding and cold treatment in the application process.
Other techniques used may include self-adhesion and priming of surfaces. The choice of each application technique may depend on the preferences of the technicians and the type of roof in the context. The detailed sections where the roof meets walls, electrical/plumbing tubing and drains are the most important. Our technicians follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and roofing industry best practices during every step of the installation.
Finishing Touches and Quality Control
The last step is final touches and checking the quality of the roof. Our technicians are involved in testing for various aspects like water leakage, flexibility and durability.
Testing for the roof’s durability may offer insights into its long-term benefits regardless of climatic and weather changes. The ideal roof should withstand extreme conditions like sun and ice.
