EPDM systems

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, and it’s a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that’s ideal for low-slope and flat roof applications. These roofs are tough, durable, and flexible, and our pros at Nations Roof know how to achieve perfect, seamless results.

Features

More commonly known as the “rubber roof”, EPDM is an extremely durable thermoset, synthetic rubber roofing membrane widely used in low-slope buildings.
EPDM has two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, which are derived from oil and natural gas, available in black or white, come in a wide range of widths, ranging from 7.5 ft to 50 ft, and come in two thicknesses, 45 mils and 60 mils.
EPDM can be installed either fully adhered or mechanically attached or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape.

Benefits

EPDM provides good resistance to corrosive chemicals, diluted mineral acids and vegetable oils.
A properly installed and maintained EPDM roofing system can last up to 30 years as it is resistant to the sun's UV and ultraviolet rays.
EPDM is a very resilient membrane with excellent elongation properties that is lightweight and durable.
EPDM roofing systems are relatively easy to install, repair, and maintain, making them a cost-effective choice.
It's highly resistant to extreme weather conditions, including hail, high winds, and temperature fluctuations.
Boost energy efficiency with EPDM membranes available in white to reflect sunlight and reduce cooling costs and black to absorb heat in colder climates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is EPDM?

Rolls of EPDM roofing vary in thickness, but common EPDM thicknesses include 45, 60, and 90 mils. The thicker the EPDM, the more durable and suitable for foot traffic, but these rolls are also more expensive.
How much is EPDM roofing?

The cost of EPDM roofing varies based on the size of the roof, the material chosen, and many other factors. However, a ballasted EPDM roof system is typically one of the lowest cost roofing systems available.
How long do EPDM roofs last?

It depends on the roof, the maintenance performed, and the quality of the original installation, but EPDM roofs are warranted for up to 30 years.
Can you walk on an EPDM roof?

EPDM roofs are suitable for foot traffic, however, walkway pads are recommended in common traffic areas and around rooftop mechanical equipment.
Does EPDM have to be adhered or glued down?

Not necessarily. EPDM is often adhered, but it can also be mechanically attached with fasteners and plates or ballasted with river rock or pavers.
How do you maintain an EPDM roof?

Regular inspections are key for maintaining EPDM roofs. Any debris should be removed right away, and any repairs that need to be performed should not wait. The trained and experienced team at Nations Roof can help with EPDM roof maintenance.
What is EPDM made of?

EPDM roofing is made from ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers, all of which are derived from oil and natural gas.
Are EPDM roofs durable?

EPDM roofs are very durable, especially in their thickest form. They’re suitable for exposure to harsh weather, UV rays, and even foot traffic in some cases.
