What is EPDM Membrane?
When you have a new commercial roof installed, you want it to last a long time, and roofs made with EPDM membrane certainly meet these expectations. You may be thinking, "What is EPDM Membrane?" Let's answer that question for you!
EPDM membrane is a popular roofing material made from ethylene and propylene. When combined, they create a durable and highly stable synthetic rubber sheeting that withstands even the harshest climate conditions.
EPDM is a dimensionally stable, cross-linked membrane that can handle severe swings in temperate and weather events. This naturally pliable membrane can absorb impacts, like hailstones, without cracking. Some materials have an elasticity of more than 300 percent.
Long-Term Performance
Studies on the effects of long-term weathering on EPDM membranes are conclusive – EPDM roofs perform well, even roofs that are over 30 years old.
These studies show EPDM roofs withstand extreme weather and a variety of climates and can have a nearly 40-year service life. That’s a good return on your investment.
