When your home or business has a flat or shallow roof, it may be difficult to find options for installing a new one. Rubber roofing may be your best—or only—solution. If you are unfamiliar with this product, the following information will bring you up to speed and explain its benefits.

What Is Rubber Roofing?

Rubber roofing is an environmentally friendly roofing material made from a collection of recycled products or byproducts, including recycled tires, sawdust, and slate dust. It forms a durable barrier against the elements. Typically, it comes in large sheets that installers unroll onto flat or gently-sloped roofs. It also comes in shingle form, which takes longer to install and offer less impregnability.

Who Can Benefit from a Rubber Roof?

Rubber roofing Typically, rubber roofs are installed on commercial buildings with flat or gently sloped roofs. Under these circumstances, traditional shingles do not perform well, because they permit water to backflow. However, you can also install rubber roofing on residential buildings, as long as the slope is flat enough that it makes sense to do so.

What Are the Benefits of Rubber Roofing?

Rubber roofing is largely made of cast-off and recycled materials, so it is very inexpensive. It rolls on easy, so installation is quick and uncomplicated. It is also maintainable in that if it develops cracks, these can be quickly patched with sealant, liquid rubber, or even latex tape. The sheets are large and cover a lot of square footage, so seams are rare and deterioration at joints is minor. It creates a formidable barrier for your home.
