Waterproofing of a newly built commercial roof with EPDM membrane is one of the best solutions, recommended by professional Port Huron roofing contractors. This material has existed on the market for more than half a century and enjoys unchanged popularity among consumers. This is enough to reach conclusions on the quality and characteristics of the product.
The EPDM membrane is manufactured on the basis of synthetic rubber.
One of the main advantages related to this type of waterproofing is its low price compared to other types of membranes. In addition, EPDM has a very high strength and durability. The lifetime of an EPDM roof with the preservation of its basic properties is about 50 years, this period being tested in practice.
EPDM membranes are resistant to serious temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation and ozone. They do not lose their qualities, even if they are in direct sunlight for a long time, do not break or deform. The temperature range in which products can be used can vary from -60 to +100 degrees. Also, when using EPDM membranes, you can install photovoltaic panels on your commercial roof or turn it into a green living roof. The EPDM membrane will be an excellent support, resistant to any challenges.
It is an elastic material, able to match perfectly the contour of the roof surface. Even when it is exposed to a significant weight or contracting/ expanding force, it will not break or get damaged. Last but not least, EPDM membranes are fire-resistant, non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
