The Advantages of EPDM Roofing
>Besides its durability and affordability, the benefits of commercial EPDM roofing include:
- Reliability: Roofing companies have widely used EPDM roofing on commercial properties for the past 30 years. The bottom line is that property owners can have confidence in this roofing selection.
- Lightweight: With this roofing type, there is less weight and pressure on the top of the structure.
- Easy Maintenance: All roofs require maintenance, but EPDM roofs are fairly easy to care for and maintain.
- Resistance & Toughness: EPDM is resistant to heat, fire, and UV radiation.
- Flexibility: If the building structure moves or settles, the roof is able to flex along with it while providing adequate protection.>
- Environmentally Friendly: A life cycle analysis found that EPDM was the most sustainable of all rubber roofing materials.
Installation Process
The success of an EPDM roofing system significantly depends on its installation. The process begins with thorough site preparation, ensuring the roof deck is clean, dry, and smooth. Following this, the EPDM membrane is rolled out, adhered to, mechanically fixed, or ballasted to secure it in place. Please view this step-by-step guide for more insight. Please note that DIY installations are not recommended—professional installations result in higher quality results that last longer.
Cost Considerations
There is no average cost of EPDM roofing, as it varies based on several factors, including:
- Roof Size
- Membrane Thickness
- Brand/Quality
- Material Costs (Which Fluctuate)
- Installation Method (Fully Adhered, Mechanically-Attached, or Ballasted)
