EPDM Roofing Services in Edmonton & Area
What Are EPDM Roofs?
An EPDM roof is also an environmentally-conscious option. These systems can help any project improve its sustainability. Since EPDM roofs are long-lasting and provide top performance, they reduce the need for repair and replacement. You’ll enjoy lower utility usage during your roof’s lifespan, and when it’s time to replace your roof, the old EPDM membranes are recyclable. EPDM is a great choice whenever being eco-friendly is a project priority.
How Are EPDM Roofs Made?
EPMD can be manufactured in widths up to 50 feet, so it’s ideal for large commercial roofs. An EPMD membrane becomes increasingly flexible when it’s heated. This thermosetting property helps EPDM adjust to any rooftop fixtures or utilities your building may have. After being stretched into place on your rooftop, EPDM holds its shape for decades.
How Are EPDM Roofs Applied?
Self-Adhered EPDM Roofing Systems
Self-adhered EPDM systems feature a layer of industrial-strength, factory-applied adhesive on every roll. A self-adhered roofing system offers some of the fastest installation times available. Since there’s no need for additional adhesives or glue, you’ll enjoy a rapid installation process.
New EPDM applications can fit easily into any construction schedule. Roof replacements are fast and odour-free so they don’t interfere with your regular operations. Self-adhered EPDM roofs also provide lasting protection from wind, water, and other weather damage.
Mechanically Fastened EPDM Roofing Systems
A mechanically fastened EPDM roof connects to your building with physical fasteners and plates. The plates and fasteners give mechanically fastened roofs extra flexibility and resilience, making these systems perfect for projects that need premium dimensional stability.
Mechanically fastened EPDM roofs can be applied on a range of roofing deck materials like steel, OSB, structural concrete, plywood, cement, and more. Insulation is attached to your roofing deck with fasteners and plates before the EPDM layer is applied. This multi-layer process provides decades of comprehensive protection for any building.
Fully Adhered EPDM Roofing Systems
Fully adhered EPDM roofs are applied using a complete, full-roof layer of industrial adhesive. This process fully attaches the EPDM membrane to your roof’s insulation for powerful performance. A fully adhered EPDM roof provides the best protection against high winds, heavy storms, and other impacts. If your building will be exposed to regular high winds or needs to withstand steady foot traffic, a fully adhered EPDM roof offers the protection you require.
Ballasted EPDM Roofing Systems
A ballasted EPDM roofing system uses stones, pavers, or other weights to hold your roofing membrane in place. Since a ballasted system isn’t adhered to or fastened to the roof, these options provide fast and easy installation. Ballast protects the EPDM membrane from wind, weather, and impacts while also keeping the membrane safely in place. You can extend your roof’s lifespan with our simple ballasted EPDM roofing options.
