EPDM, properly known as Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a popular roofing material for commercial buildings. Also known as rubber roofing, EPDM has been used in the industry for over 50 years and has proven to be a reliable and long-lasting solution for flat and low-slope roofs. It is affordable, easy to install, and can last for several years. Here are five interesting facts about EPDM commercial roofing that you may not know:

EPDM Is Environmentally Friendly

If you’re looking for a roofing material that is kind to the environment, EPDM is an excellent option. EPDM commercial roofing is made up of synthetic rubber that is created from a mixture of ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers. It is highly resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperatures, making it a durable choice for commercial roofing. It is 100% recyclable, and the production process doesn’t emit any harmful chemicals or greenhouse gases. It is also an energy-efficient material that can help reduce your building’s carbon footprint and save on energy bills.

EPDM Is Resistant to UV Rays

EPDM roofing is highly resistant to UV rays, making it an ideal material for buildings in areas with high levels of sun exposure. Unlike some other roofing materials, EPDM won’t break down or become brittle due to UV exposure, which means it can last for decades with minimal maintenance.

EPDM Can Be Installed Year-Round

One of the advantages of EPDM roofing is that it can be installed year-round, even in cold temperatures. This is because the material remains flexible and pliable in low temperatures, making it easier to handle and install. EPDM roofing can also be installed quickly, which means minimal disruption to your business operations. This can be an advantage for commercial properties that need to minimize downtime.

EPDM Is Low Maintenance and Long Lasting

EPDM roofing requires very little maintenance , which is another reason why it is a popular choice for commercial buildings. It is highly resistant to tears, punctures, and abrasions, so it doesn’t need frequent repairs or replacements. All you need to do is clean the roof occasionally to remove any debris that may have accumulated. It can last for over 50 years with proper maintenance and care. This means that property owners can save money on repairs and replacements over time.

EPDM Comes in a Variety of Colors

If you’re looking to give your building a unique look, EPDM roofing comes in a variety of colors, including black, white, and gray. This means you can choose a color that complements your building’s design and aesthetics. The color options also allow you to create a cool roof that reflects sunlight and helps keep your building’s interior cool.
