EPDM Roof

EPDM (short for Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) is a synthetic rubber roofing material that is used primarily on low-slope roofs of businesses, and less commonly on residential buildings. EPDM is available in black or white and has the choice between two thicknesses of 45 or 60 mils. This type of material can be adhered to a roof, attached mechanically, or sealed over the overlapping seams with a liquid adhesive or a high-strength tape. For durability, EPDM has an advantage over other roofing materials. Even with minimal attention, an EPDM roof can last up to 50 years.

EPDM Roofing Installation and Repair

Although the benefits of EPDM have made it a top choice in roofing for decades, a good installation is critical. Since the material is rolled onto the surface of the roof, the seams between the layers of material have to be joined together securely. If these seams have any gaps, or if the seal breaks, you risk leaks developing from rain and snowmelt. A yearly inspection goes a long way toward ensuring the long-term viability of an EPDM roof.
