Several factors influence the performance of peel and stick modified bitumen roofing systems. These include substrate preparation, surface cleanliness, and temperature during application. Proper adhesion is critical, requiring a dry, smooth surface free of contaminants. Ambient temperature affects the flexibility and tackiness of the membrane; optimal conditions are typically between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Additionally, the quality of the modified bitumen itself, including polymer content and formulation, plays a significant role in durability and performance.
