What Makes EPDM a Good Roofing Option?

/in /by

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber produced from oil and natural gas and similar to PVC, a thermoplastic material made by polymerizing vinyl chloride. Its rapid rise to popularity has led to a less expensive roofing option. Tusing Builders and Roofing Services, your premier home remodeling company, discusses the advantages and benefits of EPDM roofing.

Good Roofing Option

Durability

EPDM roofs can last for over 50 years, even with little upkeep. These roofs are wind-resistant and can handle extreme weather. They are also less susceptible to leakage and can protect any building from UV rays when installed by professional roofers.

Lower Cost

Compared to other new construction materials, EPDM costs less. Rubberized roofs are more economical and favorable than other types of roofing. Majority of these roofs are black, but they also come with white coatings that can reflect heat and reduce energy consumption.

Low Maintenance

Unlike other roofing choices, EPDM rubber roof does not require tedious cleaning. A yearly inspection and maintenance, however, is recommended. If you don’t have the time to do so, contact your local roofing company.

Easy Installation

Since EPDM roofs weigh less, they are easy to put in place and adapt to the shape of the roof. Roofing adhesives are used to glue them to the deck. Nonetheless, it is not advisable to install EPDM roofings without expert help. One roofing mistake can lead to more structural issues.
