What is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM material is comprised of a single membrane of high performance synthetic material (elastomeric polymer diene monomer) that is combined with carbon black, processing oils and various stabilizing agents that allows it to stand up to the most extreme weather conditions. National Roof Repairs LLC works with trusted EPDM manufacturers to combine a superior roofing product with our proven roofing expertise that results in a rubber flat roof option that is cost effective, lightweight and easy to install.
EPDM Roofing Installation
Old roofing is completely removed prior to installation in typical installations. National Roof Repairs LLC applies a single ply membrane is available in large rolls that enables easy installation. Our qualified roof technicians weld seams with a hot air gun across the roof surface using a range of methods that include mechanically fastening, adhesives or ballasting that provide heavy duty reinforcement and superior protection for roof systems in commercial and industrial locations in Cleveland.
How Long Does an EPDM Roof Last?
The single ply membrane of an EPDM roof will normally last for several decades with regular maintenance. Many of the first rubber roofs installed over 40 years ago are still in place with regular repair. The average life expectancy of an entire EPDM system (including original membrane and installation) is anywhere from 20 to 35 years. Ultimately, similar to most roofing materials, the longevity of an EPDM roof depends on a range of factors that include the specific structural characteristics of a building and the location and climate since rubber roofing is largely reliant on evaporation to clear water pooling.
