EPDM Roofing

EPDM roofing is a highly durable and long lasting form of flat roofing material. This thick rubber membrane is safe and easy to install because it can be fitted cold without the need to heat it first. It is strong and durable, protecting against extreme heat and cold, while also being resilient to physical stress and damage. It is also long lasting, with many properties that enjoyed early installation still showing no signs of failing after 50 years or more.

A lot of roofing materials require heating or activating before using. This means dangerous conditions not only for the installer but for the homeowner too. The smell can be overbearing but with EPDM roofing none of this is a problem. The membrane is installed cold which means that it is entirely safe and it is more environmentally friendly than burning tar or other materials.

The thickness and strength of the rubber membrane means that it protects against all weather conditions. Rain is usually the element that most of us associate with roofing problems but, in reality, leaks and holes tend to occur during windy or hot weather. This can cause roofing to stretch, warp, or tear and rip and once it starts to rain not only does water begin to get through the damaged areas but it can also lead to them worsening.

Another possible area where roofs can become damaged is through physical contact. Birds, falling debris, and even people will not damage EPDM roofing systems. They are thick and strong, and use a highly durable and ultra strong type of rubber material. Birds won’t scratch through the surface and even if twigs and branches brush against the material it won’t rip.

EPDM roofing comes with a guarantee to ensure that you enjoy a lifetime of trouble free and, more importantly, leak free roofing. Flat roofs can be a problem and other, less efficient roofing materials may need replacing often otherwise they will be inclined to leak and become easily damaged. With EPDM roofing, though, you can enjoy 20 years or more without having to pay for roofing repairs or replacements again.
