If you researched commercial roofing products in the past, you probably already heard of EPDM as one of the most viable, practical and cost-effective roofing materials on the market. The term EPDM is an abbreviation for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It is essentially a type of synthetic rubber membrane roof that is applied with special coatings to make it energy efficient, weatherproof and durable.
Some of the qualities that make EPDM such a great choice for roofing include its durability, cost-effectiveness, versatility and low maintenance. You won’t have to pay a lot to either install or repair EPDM roofing in Dallas, and the process of repairing and maintaining it requires minimal cost and effort.
When it comes to durability, you can expect the lifespan of an average EPDM roof to be right around 40 years. That means, of course, that depending on who you hire to install it or what brand you use, as well as on the overall maintenance work applied to your roof over the years, it can last for anything between 30 and 50 years.
EPDM can be mechanically attached or fully adhered to the surface below it. Both approaches to the installation of EPDM roofing have their unique advantages, so make sure that you contact a dependable and knowledgeable roofing professional before you have your new roof installed.
