Commercial Roof EPDM Roofing Roofers Working

EPDM, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber, is a synthetic membrane material designed to resist all sorts of damage, like cracks, tears, heat, sunlight, and other ultraviolet rays. This type of material is ultimately extremely durable. It has a long lifespan and can withstand extreme weather conditions.

EPDM has some features that make it very suitable for commercial roofing. It is very easy to install or repair, and can be installed on flat roofs, very often used with commercial structures. Because it is lightweight and very water-resistant, businesses and roofing professionals are shifting towards it, and it is becoming a favorite for Flower Mound roofing contractors.

For every business, the costs are very important in taking any investment decision. EDPM has proved to be very cost efficient also when it comes to consumption per square meter and maintenance. Because it comes in wider roll sizes, it requires fewer rolls to purchase to cover the roof. When properly installed, this type of roofing can prove very durable and can cut costs for the company, which can be invested elsewhere in the business. If a thicker layer is installed, it can resist higher temperatures and add to the overall durability, which can go as long as thirty years. In colder climates, it keeps the building warm by absorbing and retaining solar heat. EDPM is also very safe to install and maintain.
