The Benefits Of EPDM Roofing Membranes

EPDM roofing membranes are high quality, durable, energy efficient and weather resistant. They are ideal as a roofing material for flat roofs or low sloping roofs and this is why they are becoming more and more popular in the UK. The rubber material protects against a variety of elemental pressures including rain, hail, strong sun, frost, and snow and the rubber membrane is more resilient to tearing and impact than other roofing materials. EPDM roofing membranes have been proven to enjoy a life expectancy of 50 years or more.

Durability

Durability is important to roofing membranes. A membrane that is too weak can become easily damaged or torn by the weather or by debris such as twigs blowing onto the roof and being scraped across it. While some materials may be prone to ripping, EPDM is a highly durable rubber material and there are some types of EPDM which offer double thickness offering even greater strength and durability.

Weather Resistance

The rubber membrane material is not affected by extreme temperatures. It can resist a build up of snow or frost and is resistant to continued UV rays from the strong summer sun. It will not warp, bend, stretch, tear, or shrink as a result of the weather. This means that whatever the weather you really can enjoy stress free flat roofs on your home or business.

Good Looks

Durable, rubber membrane is available in a slate grey colour and has an attractive and classic look that will fit virtually any style of property. This means that you do not need to add gravel or any ballast which has a tendency to blow off and block drainage pipes or become messy looking after a year or two. The rubber will retain its good looks for many years so you can leave it to do its job without having to worry about covering it.

EPDM Roofing Membranes

All of this strength and resilience means that EPDM roofing membranes require very little in the way of maintenance each year and with a 50 year life expectancy this means that the maintenance costs of any flat roof are greatly reduced with the most appropriate membranes being used.
