EPDM
(ethylene propylene diene monomer)
EPDM rubber membrane has the ability to elongate 300% apposed to traditional bitumen coated felt or fiberglass which are prone to crack or split.
It has exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures form -60c to +150c.
EPDM rubber roofing is considered one of the most sustainable roofing systems on the market. This is because most of the EPDM membranes are manufactured from rubber which is fully recyclable. In contrast to this, flat roof felt is made from bitumen that is procured from crude oil which is considered hazardous and therefore less recyclable than EPDM.
Not only is EPDM recyclable, it is a non toxic product that will not pollute rainwater which also gives the option for harvesting rainwater; A popular way of reducing water consumption.
The non toxic nature of EPDM also makes it a perfect waterproofing layer below a green roof. In contrast, torch on felt can sometimes leech harmful oils into the environment. Therefore, EPDM is definitely a superior product in terms of environmental benefits.
EPDM can be laid over existing roof product in turn stopping land fill with no decomposing materials.
EPDM rubber membrane comes in full sheets with no joins making it impossible for leaks.
Can be used as pool linings.
EPDM is easily applied using cold glue method not torch on flame making it the safest installation of any flat roof product.
