Proven Performance
EPDM is time-tested in real-world conditions. Black EPDM roofing systems have been used for more than 50 years. Testing of 30-year old EPDM shows tear, tensile strength, and flexibility meet or exceed today’s standards. Longer life means longer whole-life cost.
Advanced Design
EPDM’s nominal 1.2mm of weathering protection is significantly greater than the 0.5 – 0.6mm over scrim of most plastic-based sheets. A thicker membrane contributes to greater longevity.
Energy Efficient
In northern, cooler climates, the solar thermal benefits of black EPDM help to reduce heating costs, which are typically 3-5 times greater than air-conditioning costs. The cross-linked nature of EPDM can handle the heat of all climates. Energy efficiency means EPDM can save operational costs.
Futureproofed
EPDM remains repairable throughout its long life. Unlike with some other membranes which degrade over time and cannot be altered later, with EPDM, rooftop additions such as skylights, vents and other penetrations can be successfully installed to old roofs and repairs can be carried out at any stage of the roof’s lifespan.
Common Questions
What is EPDM?
FleeceBack roof system is a reinforced material made out of polyester that can be added to the underside of low slope roof membranes like EPDM.
Is EPDM better than felt?
Rubber roofing like EPDM is considered a far superior product than traditional felt thanks to the wide range of benefits it offers. It’s one of the highest quality materials for flat roofs and is incredibly easy to install.
Does EPDM last longer than felt?
The reality is that modified bitumen roof life expectancy is way shorter than that of EPDM. EPDM has a life expectancy of 50 years.
