When you are considering a new roof, there are many options to consider. EPDM roofing offers several advantages over traditional asphalt shingles or composite materials. This type of roofing is lightweight and durable, making it ideal for homes with steep inclines. It also provides superior protection against fire and weather damage, is energy efficient, flexible and adaptable to any home design, and cost effective.
EPDM roofing can provide superior protection for your home.
- EPDM roofing is a rubber roofing material.
- It’s resistant to UV rays.
- It’s resistant to weathering.
- It’s resistant to chemicals, mold and fire. Because of this, it can last up to 30 years in some climates and 25 years in others! When you compare that to shingle roofs which only last around 15 years on average, it’s easy to see why this is such a great option for your home or business!
Fire Protection
EPDM Roofing is a fire resistant material. It is not a fireproof or retardant product. It does not provide any protection from the spread of fire, but it does prevent the flames from reaching down into your roof decking and burning through.
If you have a fiberglass shingle roof and would like to install an EPDM roof in order to make it more fire resistant, we recommend using an unvented attic assembly with 2″x10″ trusses spaced 12″ on center (OC). This will help prevent heat transfer through your attic insulation and reduce risk of combustion by allowing hot air to rise out of the attic space instead of being trapped between layers of insulation within the ceiling plane.
Lightweight and Durable
EPDM roofing is lightweight and durable. This type of roofing is resistant to UV rays, which makes it last longer than traditional rubber roofs. EPDM roofing is also resistant to chemicals, so it won’t fade or crack like other types of rubber.
Energy Efficient
EPDM is a great choice for energy efficiency. EPDM roofing is an excellent insulator, which means it can help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
This material also reflects heat away from your home, making it even more efficient than other types of roofing materials.
Flexible and Adaptable
EPDM roofing is a durable, waterproof membrane that can be installed on any type of building in any climate. The material is flexible and adaptable, making it ideal for flat roofs or sloped roofs alike. EPDM roofing can be installed on homes and commercial buildings alike, no matter the size or shape of your property.
Cost Effective
EPDM roofing is a low maintenance, high quality material that can be used in any climate. With proper care and maintenance, your EPDM roofing system will last for decades. EPDM rubber membranes offer durability, excellent weather resistance and fire resistance.
Durable: It’s no secret that asphalt roofs last longer than other types of shingle or tile roofs; however, the longevity of an EPDM Rubber Roof System goes even further than standard asphalt shingle installation methods because it has a proven track record of lasting 50+ years without major issues!
EPDM Rubber Membrane Systems are Weather Resistant: In addition to its durability over time, this type of roofing is resistant against extreme temperatures as well as harsh weather conditions like hail storms and heavy rainfalls due to its natural ability to resist cracking from extreme heat or freezing temperatures (or both!). This means you don’t have worry about causing damage when repairing small cracks during winter months like some other types might during these periods — instead feel confident knowing your investment will stay safe regardless what comes its way!
Low Maintenance Required
EPDM is low maintenance. It does not require frequent cleaning, but it should be cleaned and maintained in order to keep the EPDM roofing in good condition. Regular maintenance can help you avoid problems with your EPDM roof that may arise if you do not clean it regularly and properly.
EPDM rubber roofs are extremely durable and long lasting because they are made with only the best materials available on the market today. They can withstand all types of weather conditions including rain, snow, heat and extreme cold temperatures over time with minimal wear or damage to their surfaces while still providing excellent protection against water penetration into your home or building structure underneath them which means less leaks throughout your home’s interior walls which means more money saved on repairs down the road…and that’s just one example!
If you are looking for a roofing material that is durable and long lasting, EPDM can be the right choice for you. EPDM has been used in many applications for decades now, particularly because of its low maintenance requirements. Not only does this material offer protection from the elements, it also allows your home or business to look attractive with its variety of colors and styles available.
