What Is EPDM Roofing?

EPDM Roofing

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) roofing is a popular choice for commercial roofing as it is cost-effective, durable and well-suited to low-slope or completely flat roofs, though can be configured for any commercial roof type. A long-lasting polymer blend that can withstand the elements, EPDM’s application is simple but does require the expertise of professional commercial roofers, particularly at a larger scale.

Cittrix Roofing’s EPDM roofing service has it all; from commercial roof installation to repairs and everything in between. It all comes down to two things: quality materials and exceptional workmanship. Both of which we can guarantee. Call Cittrix Roofing for a free quote on your commercial roofing needs.

Advantages of EPDM Roofs

Affordability

Probably the biggest perk of EPDM roofing is its affordability. Not only are the materials themselves relatively cost-effective, but the installation process is also quick and easy. So, without paying for expensive supplies and hours of contractor labor, you’ll be getting a good deal in exchange for top quality. If you’re on a tight budget, this could be the commercial roof for you.

Durability

EPDM roofs are very strong, with the ability to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Because it doesn’t require seams like most roofing types, it is almost impossible for water to penetrate EPDM’s rubbery surface. EPDM’s waterproofing ability is superior, as well as its fire resistance, both of which contribute to the material’s excellent durability.

Easy To Maintain

Though EPDM ranks high on the durability scale, the great thing is that when repairs are required, they are easy, quick and relatively inexpensive to implement.

Sustainability

Not much energy is required to manufacture EPDM, and its long lifespan makes it a sustainable commercial roofing option. Add to that, when it does need to be removed for whatever reason, the material is 100% recyclable.

Temperature Regulation And Energy Savings

EPDM operates similarly to the way our skin reacts to changes in temperature. It tightens up when the weather outside is cold, and expands when things heat up. That way, it traps the heat in on cold days, and releases it when it’s hot, reducing energy consumptions and bills by foregoing the need for artificial temperature regulators.

Longevity

EPDM has an incredible life span of at least 50 years with regular professional maintenance and repairs. Being an affordable commercial roofing option, it offers great value for money considering its long life span along with all the properties it has to offer.
