Roofing: Flat Commercial/Residential
Get a New Roof Over Your Head
Sure, there are countless other improvement projects that are way more interesting, but few are as important than your home or business roof. Protecting your roof primarily from rain, and snow, a roof is made up of a supporting structure and its outer, uppermost weatherproof layer. It can be made of a variety of materials like aluminum sheeting, precast concrete, wood, and even solar shingles. Shapes and design can vary greatly depending on the look you’re going for, but most agree that durability is a key factor in choosing a roof.
Add Attic Insulation and Seal Leaks
Efficient roofing materials can only do so much. If your home is not already configured to reduce energy use, you’re not getting as much out of your roofing investment as you could. Add layers of insulation to the attic, seal holes and leaks in your ductwork, and make sure to close up leaks around doors and windows, too.
Flat Roofing
EPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used in low-slope buildings in the United States and worldwide. Its two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, are derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM is available in both black and white, and is sold a broad variety of widths, ranging from 7.5 feet to fifty feet, and in two thicknesses, 45 and 60 mils. EPDM can be installed either fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape.
EPDM SYSTEM BENEFITS
The Fully Adhered System using Acrylic Water Base Bonding Adhesive for fast installation means maximized installed cost value
Fully Adhered Systems are ideally suited for irregular building configurations
as well as steeply sloped commercial roofs, using solvent-based adhesive
Simple and versatile Mule-Hide Tape Products make installation faster and easier
UL and FM listed assemblies available
STRENGTH
EPDM is a high tensile strength, single-ply membrane ideal for long-term watertight
integrity. EPDM is lightweight, ideal for new construction and retrofit systems
without adding excessive weight to the roof deck.
FLEXIBILITY
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not
split or crack.
LONG LIFECYCLE
It provides excellent resistance to ozone and UV and can handle the coldest
winters or the desert heat.
