EPDM roofing, or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer roofing, is a single ply rubber membrane made made from ethylene and propylene, which are derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM roofs are a popular choice for low-slope roofs and are used in commercial and residential applications. They are known for their durability, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to weathering, hail, UV radiation, thermal shock, and extreme temperatures. EPDM roofs can also help building owners save money on heating and cooling costs, depending on whether the membrane is dark or light in color.
The greatest test of any construction material is how it performs under actual field conditions. Forty years of empirical experience in field applications has shown EPDM to have the roofing industry’s longest average service life. Characteristics that contribute to this superior overall system performance include:
