Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber used to create durable roofing solutions. EPDM has become an increasingly popular material for new roofs for a variety of reasons. It’s often used for roofs with low slopes, extensions, garages, and flat roof installations. Our roofing company is happy to advise customers on all aspects and applications for this roofing material.
We can also discuss the pitched and flat roofing services we offer, including emergency roof repairs, 24-hour call-outs, replacement roofs, chimney repointing, and chimney repairs, to clients across Surrey and Greater London, including Richmond and Kingston. Contact us to learn more.
Here, our roofing contractors have listed a few of the reasons why EPDM is such a popular roofing material.
One of the key benefits of EPDM is its extreme durability. It is corrosion-resistant and very strong. Its strength makes it ideal for areas exposed to inclement weather conditions. EPDM is resistant to UV light and high temperatures, which makes it the perfect roofing material. When installed correctly by our experts, this type of material can last for over 30 years and is unlikely to require roof repairs.
The high-quality EPDM rubber roofing we fit offers excellent insulation, so you can minimise the need to heat your home in the colder months. By installing roofing with energy-efficient properties, you can create a comfortable living temperature. With these flat roofing systems, your property’s energy efficiency will improve, helping you save on utility bills. Our roofing company also conducts chimney repairs to reduce heat loss in Kingston and the surrounding areas.
EPDM roofing costs much less than many other roofing materials. This type of roofing is a sustainable option because the materials used to make it are readily available, making it less expensive than other new roofs. This material is also very lightweight and doesn’t require reinforcements. EPDM’s durability means it will not require regular, costly maintenance or replacements, reducing the likelihood of emergency roof repairs.
There are several ways to install EPDM rubber roofing. The roof can be attached using fasteners or adhesives, and sealants are another option, especially for roofs with minimal sloping. Rivets are a great installation method for securely holding the top sections of hard-to-reach roofs. There is even an option to ballast EPDM with stone for those who wish to achieve a different aesthetic.
