EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) is a synthetic membrane roofing material used on low slope or flat roofs, typically on commercial structures, but may be ideal for a garage or outbuilding. The material is very durable, with a lifespan as long as 25 to 30 years. EPDM roofing comes in panels ranging in width from 5 feet to 50 feet and can be installed with minimum seams on larger facilities.
EPDM roofing systems come with several benefits:
The most durable EPDM is black, due to the carbon in the product. The carbon brings exceptional strength to the product, and blocks UV rays, but as it is black, it is not considered a cool roofing product. However, the EPDM can be coated with a reflective coating to reflect the sun. EPDM is also available in a white, in which the black carbon is replaced with titanium dioxide. While this product reflects the heat, it is slightly less durable than the standard black EPDM. If you are interested in energy savings, our team at LOA Construction can discuss your options, whether adding a reflective coating, or installing white EPDM.
