The Advantages of an EPDM Roof

Why Install an EPDM Roof?

With so many flat roofing systems out there, why choose EPDM? There are many reasons why this material should be your top choice, including:

• Affordable. The cost of this roof is low in comparison to other types of materials, which can save you money on your next roof replacement
• Recyclable. If you’re worried about materials ending up in a landfill, get an EPDM roof. It is made of recycled products and can be recycled at the end of its lifespan.
• Durable. While the average lifespan of EPDM roofing is 20 years, that can be almost doubled with professional resealing and maintenance.
• Energy-efficient. If you choose white EPDM, this can make your roof highly reflective to reduce overall energy costs. You can even convert your roof into a garden to make it an even greener option!
• Weather-resistant. This material is extremely flexible. You won’t need to worry about it cracking due to extreme dryness or too much moisture. Heat and moisture can escape easily from a building, but the material won’t let the reverse happen.
