Epdm Rubber Roofing Plymouth
This is certainly not our first choice roof but is still very effective on various jobs. As you can tell, there are a number of roofing options to choose from if you are in the market for roof replacement. One popular option includes a rubber roof, or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) roof. As with other roofing investments, there are pros and cons to this materials.
Costs
Compared to other types of roofing, the cost of EPDM is generally very low. It’s also a great option that is commonly chosen for low-sloped roofs. While the contractor and manufacturer costs will vary, this material is mostly chosen by price-conscious building owners.
Eco Friendly
While the majority of EPDM roofs are black, they can also be white, allowing them to reflect UV rays and even reduce energy costs. They are compatible with rooftop gardens and solar cell arrays. This material is also lightweight, allowing it to adapt to any shape or style of the roof while providing the same advantages. In addition, very little effort or materials are required to manufacture this material, and it’s 100% recyclable
There's More
Aswell as an EPDM membrane, the choice of rubber doesn't stop there. We also install Resitrix which is a hybrid membrane consisting of rubber and polymer bitumen. The field area is a self adhesive system (eliminates the risk of fire) and when heat welding the joints, a polymer bitumen bleed appears so you can visually see joints are watertight.
