What is EPDM?

EPDM (short for ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is a type of material used mainly in commercial roofing. It is a kind of synthetic rubber that has a wide range of applications, and one of them is commercial roofing. Although it counts as a synthetic material, its two main ingredients – ethylene and propylene – are a product of natural gasses and oil.

EPDM is used to create large thin sheets (membranes), which are then placed on a flat of a mildly sloped roof and afterward sealed with special tape or some kind of liquid adhesive. The material we use to create EPDM roofing is being continuously tested and guarantees the finest results in its application.

Because of its nature, it is extremely easy to distribute, install, and maintain, which makes it a popular choice among architects and roofing industry workers worldwide. Since the installation of such roofings is relatively effortless, it reduces labor costs and risks associated with roofing installation. It is also highly versatile and can be placed on virtually any type of commercial buildings, and basically any flat top surface will be ideal for the installment of EPDM roofing. The flexibility of EPDM can be of good use to those who wish to install EPDM roofings on slightly uneven or oddly shaped surfaces.

How Can EPDM Roofing Benefit Your Building

When used as roofing material, EPDM offers several benefits for your roof and your building in general.

For starters, it tolerates extreme weather conditions frequently occurring in the Georgia area – conditions such as hail, strong winds, and heavy rain. Its construction and membrane fusion allows for stronger durability when it comes to moisture and rainfall. It is extremely important for flat or mildly sloped roofs to have durable roof systems that won’t leak installed since water is unable to pour from them and stays up for longer periods of time until it is drained from the roof.

Extreme temperatures pose no threat for EPDM roofings since the inherent structure and physical properties of the material enable strong resistance to both low and high temperatures. The sun’s radiation is another obstacle EPDM roofings are able to overcome – they are very resistant to UV sunlight.

Rainwater drained from such roofs can easily be harvested without any fears of chemical poisoning, since this type of material does not pollute it in any way.
