What Is EPDM Roofing

What Is EPDM Roofing

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a roofing material that can be used on certain roof types. The synthetic rubber substance is long-lasting and can be used on low-slope commercial buildings. The material is primarily made from ethylene and propylene, which come from natural gas. In order to install EPDM, we use a variety of methods, including ballasts, industry-grade tape, mechanical attachmentments, and more. Here, our experts at Intelligent Design Corporation will discuss why we use EPDM roofing as well as its benefits.

Why Does Intelligent Design Use EPDM?

At Intelligent Design, we use EPDM for a variety of reasons. EPDM is incredibly durable and can withstand a variety of harsh weather conditions. EPDM can also withstand hail damage and other extreme conditions. Other notable features include:

● Provides thermal shock durability

● Resists ultraviolet radiation

● Withstands some extreme heat from flames

● Resists cyclical membrane fatigue

What Additional Benefits Does EPDM Have?

In addition to all the reasons why we love using EPDM, it also has multiple other benefits that make it a product our customers desire, as well. Here are some of the added benefits:

● Top-Line Durability – We already discussed how well EPDM holds up in extreme weather but there’s more. Inside the synthetic rubber, there is a carbon black filler, which absorbs the UV radiation that hits your building and turns it into heat. Additionally, there is no plastic in the material, which is better for longevity and for the environment.

● Few Repairs – Because of the natural durability of EPDM and its ability to withstand harsh weather, the material very rarely needs to be repaired or replaced in any capacity.

● Environmentally Friendly – EPDM contains no plastic and is reusable, making it better for the environment than other materials. Because the material is so easy to install and manufacture, fewer resources are used in the overall process. When the time comes for you to get a new roof, you can also have the material recycled for future use.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
