How long will EPDM last?
50 years
An EPDM rubber roof is incredibly long-lasting and durable. The rubber recycled and used for the synthetic rubber membrane isn’t damaged under the sun’s UV or ultraviolet rays. If installed correctly, you can expect a rubber roof to in excess of up to 50 years.
Is EPDM 100% waterproof?
EPDM is a 100% cured single-ply roofing membrane, meaning it is extremely waterproof and very durable to the elements. EPDM offers resistance to the ozone, UV radiation and high or low temperatures.
Is EPDM suitable for hot water?
EPDM is excellent for hot water and steam service up to 275°F (135°C). EPDM also keeps its flexibility in freezing temperatures (down to -55°F).
Is EPDM rubber flammable?
However, EPDM is a flammable material with a very low limiting oxygen index (LOI) value, which greatly limits its further development and application. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the flame retardant performance of EPDM [2,3,4].
Can EPDM be laid on concrete?
EPDM rubber roofing can be installed on a few different surfaces, but it works best when it adheres to timber deckings such as roofing grade plywood or OSB sterling board. Sometimes EPDM can be bonded to lightweight concrete and other surfaces that are non-porous like fiberglass and tissue-faced insulation.
