SHOULD YOU CHOOSE EPDM FOR YOUR ROOF???nnEPDM roofing membranes boast excellent qualities in terms of waterproofing, sustainability and durability. There are a couple of things you should consider before choosing this synthetic rubber roofing system. In this post, we will help you determine if single-ply EPDM rubber is the right solution for your project.nn1. DESIGNED TO LAST, IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHERnFuture-proof roofing solutions need to be able to cope with the ongoing wear and tear caused by heavy rains, harsh sunshine, snow, and even bird droppings. In the case of solar roofs, the roofing system should outlive the photovoltaic installation on top of it. EPDM does all of that and boasts one of the highest UV-resistance among all available roofing solutions.nAnd for blue roofs? Thanks to its impeccable waterproofing features, single-ply EPDM membranes enable roofs to retain water, slowing down drainage and playing a key role in water harvesting systems.nn2. EXCEPTIONAL LONGEVITY FOR EXCEPTIONAL ROOFSnEPDM roofing membranes last for at least 50 years with an unchanged structure and elasticity. Should punctures or damages occur, they can easily be repaired to extend the roofing’s lifespan even further.nSpeaking of elasticity: thanks to its extreme flexibility and availability in large, single-ply sheets, EPDM also enables the design freedom you need to rethink the architecture of the future.nn3. EPDM ROOFING ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTES TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTUREnIn addition to being repairable, EPDM rubber is reusable and recyclable – and requires fewer resources to be manufactured, compared to traditional roofing solutions. nIt is also chemically inert and non-toxic. This means it doesn’t release any toxic substances during or after installation.nn4. EPDM MEMBRANES ARE EASY TO INSTALL nInstalling EPDM is fast, flame-free, and safe for both people and the environment. Should your EPDM rubber roofing solution be installed over an existing system, please keep in mind that adequate surface preparation might be needed.nn5. A CERTIFIED INSTALLER IS A MUSTnThe performance of any roofing system is directly linked to the quality of its installation. Ease of installation should, however, not be confused with ‘can be installed by anyone’. We are aware of inexperienced contractors offering to install EPDM rubber roofing – often with disastrous consequences for their clients.nnCONCLUSIONnThe advantages offered by EPDM roofing membranes far outweigh its disadvantages. Their extreme durability, high UV-resistance, and stellar waterproofing properties make them the perfect fit for sustainable and low-maintenance solar, green, and blue roofs.nnBriannEmerald Flat Roofing...
