EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing is a popular choice for flat and low-slope roofs due to its durability, flexibility, and ease of installation. At Divergent Smart Builds, we specialize in providing high-quality EPDM roofing solutions tailored to your needs. Here’s everything you need to know about EPDM roofing.
What is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM roofing is a type of synthetic rubber membrane that is commonly used in flat and low-slope roofing applications. It is made from ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber compound that is highly durable and resistant to UV rays, weathering, and chemicals.
Benefits of EPDM Roofing
- Durability: EPDM roofing membranes are highly durable and can withstand extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and weathering.
- Flexibility: EPDM roofing is highly flexible and can adapt to the movement of the building without cracking or splitting.
- Ease of Installation: EPDM roofing membranes are available in large sheets that can be easily installed using adhesives or mechanical fasteners.
- Low Maintenance: EPDM roofing requires minimal maintenance and is resistant to punctures, tears, and mold growth.
- Energy Efficiency: EPDM roofing membranes are available in white or reflective colors, which can help reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight and reducing rooftop temperatures.
Installation Process
- Surface Preparation: The roof surface is cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the EPDM membrane.
- Membrane Installation: The EPDM roofing membrane is rolled out onto the roof surface and adhered using adhesive or mechanical fasteners.
- Seam Sealing: Seams between membrane sheets are sealed using specialized adhesive or tape to prevent water infiltration.
- Flashing Installation: Flashing is installed around roof penetrations, edges, and seams to provide additional waterproofing protection.
- Final Inspection: A final inspection is conducted to ensure the EPDM roofing membrane is properly installed and sealed.
