When it comes to protecting your business, your first line of defense is the roof over its head. Opting for an EPDM roofing system can make all the difference when inclement weather blows through your town, and these flat commercial roofs carry many added benefits besides simply weathering the storm.

The Benefits of EPDM Roofing

1. Environmentally Friendly

White EPDM roofing membranes are explicitly designed to reduce energy consumption with their titanium dioxide composition. They reflect up to 80% of UV rays, keeping your building cooler and saving you money on your AC bill during those hot summer days. There are also ENERGY STAR® approved coatings that installers can use to increase the roof’s energy efficiency even further. And when it’s time to replace your roof, the materials are recyclable. 

2. Durable

When installed properly, EPDM roofing has a life expectancy of up to 50 years, an industry best for service life. This resiliency comes from its synthetic rubber roofing membrane that can withstand hail, extreme temperatures, and wind—essentially anything the elements could throw at it. These roofs can handle temperatures as low as -49 degrees F and up to 240 degrees F. It also boasts Class A fire resistance to add an extra layer of protection to your building, and if you don’t think these perks are enough, roofing specialists can reinforce the surface to increase tear resistance. 

3. Inexpensive

Comparable 50-year roofing systems can cost up to $250 per square foot. Meanwhile, EPDM roofing will cost only $4 to $6 per square foot. If installed correctly, the roof will require minimal upkeep, making the cost for the duration of the life of the roof equally as cost-effective.
