What Is EPDM Roofing?

What is EPDM and what is it used for? EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer. In layman’s terms, it is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane commonly used on commercial roofing systems.

Top roofing company Diamond Roofing Specialists, Inc. offers Elevate and Johns Manville EPDM roofing systems, which has this exact top-performance, premium-grade EPDM roofing membrane. Read on to learn more.

Different Options

Johns Manville

Johns Manville’s EPDM roofing systems are recognized for their outstanding durability and long-lasting performance. The single-ply membrane is engineered to resist the harshest elements, including extreme UV exposure, ozone, and weathering. Johns Manville EPDM roofs are designed with flexibility in mind, making them suitable for a wide range of climates, from freezing winters to scorching summers. These membranes offer excellent puncture resistance and can withstand significant temperature fluctuations without compromising their integrity.

Additionally, Johns Manville provides multiple thickness options, allowing you to choose the right level of protection for your specific project. Whether you’re looking for a standard membrane or a reinforced version for added strength, Johns Manville ensures that their EPDM products deliver exceptional performance over time, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Elevate

Elevate products are made of a fully functional solution called RubberGard™ EPDM. RubberGard offers UV resistance, as well as durability and flexibility. Elevate EPDM products are available in various options.

First, the RubberGard EPDM system. This versatile membrane can be fully adhered, ballasted or mechanically attached. It also has proven longevity of up to three decades of commercial roofing success.

Next, you can choose the FullForce EPDM, the only one to have a factory-applied adhesive across its entire surface. Elevate also has a reinforced single-ply roofing membrane, called the RubberGard MAX EPDM, that can fend off tears and punctures. This one acts as a high-caliber shield to wind forces as well.

Another excellent option for you is the EcoWhite™ EPDM membrane. This membrane performs like the traditional RubberGard EPDM and can keep the roof cooler simultaneously.

Lastly, you have the UltraBlend™ roof system, which applies the UltraPly™ TPO, or the thermoplastic polyolefin, for horizontal roof surfaces and either RubberGard or EcoWhite EPDM for vertical surfaces.

Elevate EPDM roofing systems are some of the most trusted brands in the industry. The good news is the most trusted local roofing company, Diamond Roofing Specialists, Inc. offers these first-rate products.
