Lehigh Valley EPDM Rubber Roofing
What Is EPDM Rubber Roofing?
This type of roofing is a single-ply membrane made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), a synthetic rubber material designed to be resistant to all types of weather. Because it is lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to install, EPDM has become one of the most popular roofing materials on the market. It is a great alternative to metal, and it works well with porches, accessory dwelling units (ADU), and other types of roofs that might be separate from your home or business. EPDM rubber is also energy efficient, as it reflects sunlight and reduces your rooftop temperature. This makes it easier to keep your property cooler in the summer months, lowering your energy costs.
So how do we install this advantageous type of roofing?
It is a straightforward process:
- We prepare your roof’s surface for the membrane by removing any existing materials.
- Once complete, we lay the EPDM rubber membrane down and fasten it into place with a durable adhesive.
- To ensure the membrane is watertight, we heat weld its seams together making it a cohesive protective layer.
EPDM rubber roofing can last for up to 50 years or more, but only if it has been installed properly and maintained regularly. Both the application and welding require attention to detail and experienced technique. Faulty installation can allow ice dams to form, which put your property at risk of water damage. Poorly installed membranes can also be vulnerable to tears and rips, allowing moisture to seep in and wreak havoc on your home or business’s interior.
Fortunately for our customers, we are Versico-certified contractors. This means we have displayed excellence in installing and repairing EPDM rubber roofing in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton. It also puts our customers in a position to get high-quality materials and manufacturer warranties.
