What is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM Single Ply Roofing is an elastomeric roofing sheet that is best used for either re-roofing over a variety of deck types and insulation materials or new roofs. In other words, it’s made from a rubber-like material that is resistant to fire, extremely low temperatures, wind, hail, and UV radiation.
The roofing membrane is manufactured in light-weight rolls that are cold-applied to the roof deck. But this can be a complicated process, which is why it’s important to work with an experienced contractor like Reliable Roofing.
The benefits of EPDM roofing include the following:
Durable- Waterproof
- Temperature-resistant
- Weather-resistant
- Moisture-resistant
- UV resistant
- Lightweight
- Can be installed on most roof decks
- Environmentally friendly
EPDM roofing material can be installed in any of the following methods:
- Fully adhered: The EPDM roof is glued to the surface beneath it. They’re great for contoured roof, roofs with irregular shape, and roofs with limited load bearing capacity.
- Mechanically attached: The EPDM roof panels are loosely laid on a substrate and mechanically attached with batten bars that are placed on top of the sheets. This allows the roof to have fewer seams, high wind uplift performance, and fast coverage, not to mention lightweight.
- Ballasted: The EPDM panels are loosely laid over the insulation and held in place by smooth stoned or concrete pavers. These are mostly used on large construction projects and provide fast coverage at a lower cost.
One of the best advantages of EPDM roofing is the ability to be installed on almost any roof decks, including flat, sloped, spherical, and curved. They will also require less repairs and maintenance, making it increasingly popular among Chicago’s commercial buildings.
