EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) roofing is a highly durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane widely used on low-slope buildings. Renowned for its remarkable longevity, EPDM can withstand extreme weather conditions, including intense UV radiation, freezing temperatures, and heavy rainfall.
Its flexibility makes it resistant to cracks and splits, an essential feature for adapting to building movements and temperature fluctuations. Available in black or white, EPDM sheets are typically installed in large rolls, minimizing seams and reducing leak potential. The installation process can involve fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted applications, making it versatile for various roofing projects.
EPDM’s ease of repair and maintenance, coupled with its environmental sustainability—being recyclable at the end of its long service life—make it a favored choice for commercial roofing. Its cost-effectiveness and proven performance record further contribute to its popularity in the roofing industry.
