EPDM

EPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used in low-slope buildings in the United States and worldwide. Its two primary ingredients ethylene and propylene, are derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM is available in both black and white, and is sold a broad variety of widths. EPDM can be installed either fully adhered, mechanically attached, fleece back, peel & stick, velcro or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape.

 

Benefits:

  • Performs well because it is highly UV stable due to the carbon black and has a relatively high installation efficiency and consistency 
  • Created in 1965, it has a long-proven track record of performance
  • Given an environment with temperature extremes, it will expand and contract 

Warranty Capabilities: 5-30 Years, 55-115 MPH 

Approved Installers for Carlisle, Firestone, Versico, John Mansville, GAF, Tremco, Sarnfil, Garland, & more.
