EPDM Single-Ply Roof Membrane
EPDM is a rubber membrane whose principal components consist of Ethylene and Propylene. At first EPDM membranes were used as pond liners, but it didn’t take long before the roofing industry saw its value and created a high tech, high quality roof membrane. EPDM roof membranes can be installed fully adhered, mechanically attached and ballasted (loose rock) The main advantages to EPDM are that it is lightweight, unaffected by standing water and low initial costs. There is also very little odor and mess, which is appealing to building owners and occupants.
With over 1 billion square feet of membrane installed worldwide, EPDM has established itself as the membrane for all climatic conditions. This is supported by various laboratory studies and actual field installations. This excellent track record is the result of unique and unmatched physical characteristics:
- EPDM has superior resistance to UV (ultraviolet) radiation
- EPDM has unmatched resistance to thermal shock
- EPDM exhibits superior resistance to cyclic fatigue
- EPDM has superior resistance to hail damage
- EPDM will not become brittle and will not shatter due to low temperature flexibility
TPO Roofing Systems
Thermoplastic polyolefin, or TPO, is the fastest-growing segment of the commercial roofing industry. TPO roofing is reflective, energy-efficient and cool roof products are becoming the norm. Available in white and tan, TPO Roof membranes are ENERGY STAR® rated and Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)-certified, and have been directly attributed to a reduction in a building’s energy use for cooling costs.
TPO Roof membranes are available in sizes up to 12-feet wide and 100-feet long, TPO roof membranes can be installed fully adhered, mechanically attached and ballasted (loose rock) making installation of this roof system fast and efficient. Adding to the efficiency of a TPO installation are prefabricated accessories that drastically reduce the amount of time needed to complete roof-top penetrations.
