Flat rubber roofs, also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer roofs (EPDM), are extremely cheap when compared to other materials. It’s a lightweight and easy to install material, so the entire replacement project shouldn’t take too long. It’s long-lasting, covering your roof for 50 years or longer when properly installed.
A unique benefit of flat rubber roofing is the ease of leak repair. Since the material is rubber, a tube of liquid rubber is normally all that’s required to fix it. Special tape may also be used. Regular inspections and timely repairs can keep your EPDM roof in excellent condition for decades.
Rubber roofing material is a very “green” choice. It is 100% recyclable once its life span is up, and it reflects the sun’s UV rays, keeping them from heating your home. In addition to being recyclable, EPDM roofing contributes to energy efficiency. Its reflective properties help reduce cooling costs during the hot summer months, making it an environmentally friendly option that also saves on energy bills. The material’s insulation capabilities further enhance energy efficiency by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. Choosing an EPDM roof is a step towards sustainable living, reducing your carbon footprint and promoting a healthier environment.
While appearance is the main drawback with rubber roofs, acrylic paint may be applied to make it other colors. These acrylic paint coatings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the roof but can also provide additional protection against UV rays, further extending the roof’s lifespan. Additionally, these coatings can improve the roof’s resistance to weathering and reduce the buildup of dirt and debris, maintaining a clean and attractive appearance over time.
