Rubber Roof Installations and Repairs Increase Energy Savings
Installing a new Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber roof offers several significant benefits for both residential and commercial buildings. EPDM roofs are known for their exceptional durability and long lifespan, often exceeding 30 years with proper maintenance. This type of roofing material is highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, including UV radiation, ozone, and temperature fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for various climates.
EPDM roofs are also energy efficient. Their reflective properties help reduce cooling costs by reflecting a significant portion of the sun’s heat, which can contribute to lower energy bills and a more comfortable indoor environment. Additionally, EPDM is environmentally friendly. It is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life, reducing the overall environmental impact.
The installation process for EPDM roofing is relatively straightforward, which can result in lower labor costs compared to other roofing systems. Its lightweight nature further simplifies installation and reduces the load on the building structure. Moreover, EPDM requires minimal maintenance due to its resistance to common roofing issues such as leaks and punctures.
In summary, a new EPDM rubber roof provides longevity, energy efficiency, environmental benefits, ease of installation, and low maintenance, making it a smart investment for building owners.

Rubber Roofs: start to finish
Installing a new Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber roof is a practical and efficient process that provides numerous benefits for building owners. The installation begins with preparing the roof surface, ensuring it is clean, smooth, and free of debris. This step is crucial for the adhesive to bond effectively. Depending on the roof’s design, an insulation layer might be added to improve energy efficiency and provide a smooth substrate for the EPDM membrane.
The EPDM membrane is then rolled out and cut to fit the roof dimensions. Installation methods can vary, including fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted systems. In a fully adhered system, a specially formulated adhesive is applied to both the roof surface and the underside of the membrane, ensuring a secure and watertight seal. For mechanically attached systems, fasteners and plates are used to anchor the membrane, while ballasted systems rely on the weight of gravel or pavers to hold the membrane in place.
One of the key advantages of EPDM installation is its flexibility and ease of handling, allowing it to accommodate various roof shapes and sizes, including those with complex details and penetrations. Seams are sealed with either adhesive or specialized seam tape, providing excellent waterproofing.
Overall, installing a new EPDM rubber roof is a straightforward process that results in a durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance roofing solution, offering long-term protection and performance.
