Peterborough Improvements are experts in providing durable, weather-resistant and environmentally friendly EPDM Rubber Roofing. A great alternative to asphalt, shingle or slate suitable for roofs of all varieties.
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, a synthetic rubber created from oil, ethylene propylene and diene – a hydrocarbon that contains two double carbon bonds. To make it usable for roofing, the EPDM Rubber is vulcanised, (dried out), and turned into roofing membrane sheets. Drying out the rubber improves the strength and increases its resistance to heat, water and abrasion making the material excellent for waterproofing and durability.
A EPDM Rubber Roof can be used on a variety of different buildings both domestic and commercial including:
• Flat Roofs
• Garage Roofs
• Car Ports
• Shed Roofs
• Childrens Treehouses
• Garden Rooms
• Low-slope Roofs
• Extensions
EPDM Rubber Roofs are leagues ahead of some older traditional flat roof materials, such as felt. One of the main benefit is that in most cases the EPDM rubber can be installed as a whole sheet. This means there are no seams and therefore making the material superb for waterproofing.
Rubber roofs are one of the most durable roofs available on the market. They can stand up to extreme conditions, are fire-resistant and with their excellent flexibility (able to stretch up to 300% before cracking or splitting) they are great in freezing winters and baking hot summers. The synthetic rubber also doesn’t support the growth of moss meaning your roof will be kept looking great all year round.
Lastly, the roofs are extremely cost-efficient. The thickness of the rubber keeps heat in during the winter months, and the sun’s heat out during the summer, reducing the need for heating or fans and with a life expectancy of a whopping 30-50 years its pretty much a one off cost and when it does need replacing you will be glad to hear the EPDM material is recyclable, making it a great eco-friendly roofing solution.
