Modified Bitumen is a shingle ply membrane that consists of asphalt and rubber. Installation is either a self-adhering (Peel n Stick), or thermo fused using a torch with heat welds (Torch Applied). The roof system is made up of a fiberglass base sheet fastened to the roof deck, and then the modified is heated using a torch which heats welds the system in place. The top surface of the membrane can be smooth or granular. This is considered a 2 ply system if you are counting the fiberglass base sheet.

Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used roofing materials on the market today, both in residential and commercial housing properties. Asphalt shingles are made up of either of composition substrate or fiberglass. Fiberglass substrate has a higher fire retardant rating because fiberglass is not combustible. Asphalt shingles are available from a 20 year 3-tab to 30-50 year dimensional lifetime shingles. The shingle roof system is made up of a moisture barrier felt like an ASTM 15# or 30#, and ice or water shield around the eaves, penetrations and valleys and of course your asphalt shingle.
