What is Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer), is a durable form of synthetic rubber that has significant benefits over other flat roof materials like felt.

Unlike some alternative roofing solutions, EPDM is ideal for weatherproofing rooftop gardens. EPDM coatings are also fully compatible with properties that use solar cell arrays. More importantly, EPDM rubber is lightweight and easy to install on even non-conventional roof surfaces.

Suitable for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, EDPM roofing is available in black, white and color, and can also be installed in a variety of different ways depending on your existing roof architecture.

Benefits of a Low-Cost EDPM Roofing System

After installing EPDM coatings properly, Erie commercial property owners can expect roofs to remain watertight for a minimum of 20-years. Longer material lifespans mean that in the long-term, commercial property owners can reduce roof maintenance and repair costs.

At Erie SPF Roof Coatings and Insulation, we handle the installation and maintenance of EPDM roofing systems for many Pennsylvania businesses. In doing so, we equip local businesses with roofs capable of withstanding even the most extreme weather.

Preparing Your Commercial Roof Surface

To secure an EPDM roof coating to your existing roof surface, there are two methods: adhesive or mechanical. Where it is not possible to adhere coatings to existing substrates with chemical adhesive, we can mechanically attach EPDM in place with a ballast roof coating.

What is EPDM Ballasted Roofing?

Ballasted Roofing Installation

Ballasted roofing is used on TPO or EPDM roofing projects that have no adhesive or mechanical anchor to a commercial roof surface, instead weighing down membranes using gravel. We apply ballast to keep EPDM coverings in place, after welding coatings to the full perimeter of your existing roof.
