EPDM roofing offers numerous benefits that make it a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. Here are some of the key advantages:

• Durability: EPDM roofing has a lifespan ranging from 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. The material resists cracking and impact from harsh conditions.
• Weather Resistance: EPDM can withstand wind, hail, and temperature fluctuations. Its flexibility helps it expand and contract with changing temperatures, minimizing damage.
• Ease of Installation and Maintenance: Installation is straightforward, keeping labor costs down. Repairs are simple, usually involving patches or adhesive.
• Eco-Friendliness: EPDM can be recycled and helps reflect heat, contributing to energy efficiency and reducing cooling costs.

EPDM roofing comes in rolls and can be installed in various ways: fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted. The choice of method depends on building specifications and budget. Adhesive installations attach the membrane directly to the surface, while ballasted installations use gravel or stones to secure it.

While EPDM is versatile and durable, it suits flat or low-slope roofs best. The black color can absorb more heat, making it less ideal in hot climates, though a white or reflective coating can reduce heat absorption and boost energy efficiency.
