The R-value of modified bitumen typically ranges from 1 to 2 per inch of thickness, depending on the specific formulation and additives used. This insulation value is relatively low compared to other roofing materials, but modified bitumen offers benefits such as flexibility, durability, and weather resistance. Its primary function is as a waterproofing membrane rather than thermal insulation. For effective energy efficiency, it is often combined with additional insulation layers.
