How does EPDM Rubber Roofing Add Value to Your Home?

The roof of your house is one of the most important and integral components of your home. EPDM rubber has value.

Your roof's health affects your home’s energy efficiency, waterproofing, structural integrity, and more. As a result, it is important that you choose a high-quality roofing material that is right for your home. EPDM rubber roofing is not only the best waterproof surface for your roof, but it has a better lifespan, flexibility and overall resistance to the elements than other roofing materials. EPDM can add value to your home.

1) EPDM rubber roofing is durable and cost-effective. 

EPDM has a lifespan much greater than other forms of roofing material, lasting typically 30-50 years. 

2) EPDM is resistant to ozone and UV damage. 

It is fire retardant and elements such as wind, water and even hail won't damage the surface. EPDM rubber roofing is highly durable in extreme temperatures, it resists thermal shock and will not crack in very cold temperatures. In addition, because of its durability, re-usability and long lifespan EPDM rubber roofing is considered very environmentally friendly. Most EPDM rubber roofs are also made out of recycled materials.

3) EPDM rubber roofing is a fantastic insulator.

This will ensure the house is cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. It can also withstand structural movement and settling of the house without any stress to the material.

4) EPDM rubber roofing has a simple and inexpensive application process with value. 

You can purchase rolls in 50 feet wide sheets, so most roofs can be covered with a single sheet, essentially making them watertight. When installed as a single sheet you don’t need to worry about sealing the seams, which usually can risk leakage over time. Waterproof rubber roofing is lightweight, making it easier to move and shape during installation, and very easy to repair. Most homeowners can make repairs themselves in the unlikely event of any tears.
