EPDM Benefits for Commercial Roofing

 In Blog

Choosing the materials for your commercial building’s roof can be a challenge. You want a material that is durable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. You also want a product that will give you peace of mind knowing that you will likely have few issues with the roof such as leaking or mold and mildew growth.

What is EPDM?

Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) is a rubber roofing membrane that should be a top choice for your building’s roof. This product is highly recommended for commercial buildings that have a low slope.

What Are the Benefits to Using EPDM?

There are many benefits to using EPDM on your commercial building. Here are just three of them.

Extremely Durable

In Colorado, we experience all types of harsh weather conditions. From heavy snowfalls, high winds, and large hailstorms, your roof must be ready. EPDM provides extreme durability and can handle many of these conditions. It is designed to resist large pieces of hail and it has shown to have a high resistance to wind.

It is a Flexible Material

The seasons in Colorado can drastically change. During the winter, Denver can experience below-freezing temperatures, while during the summer months, the sun’s UV rays can be sweltering. EPDM is a flexible material, which makes it ideal for the drastic change in temperature. Regardless of the cold or hot temperatures, this material will not crack and fewer repairs will be needed.

Increase your Roof’s Lifespan

One major advantage of EPDM roofing installation is this product can easily increase the lifespan of your building’s roof. Its durability and ability to withstand many changes in temperature can lengthen out the lifespan of many additional materials, making the overall roof last longer and reducing the need for constant repairs.
