What is an EPDM membrane?
The EPDM membrane is a thick and waterproof synthetic rubber, which offers excellent durability (up to 35 years with regular maintenance). It is an elastic material resistant to bad weather, acid rains and degradation due to UV sun rays. The EPDM membrane can be used as a base for the installation of extensive green systems (green roofs). Its installation is safe as it doesn’t require the use of a torch.
Advantages of the EPDM membrane
The EPDM membrane for flat roofs resists extreme colds, seeing as how its structure is elastic. It does not deteriorate during heat waves as it is also resistant to the UV rays from the sun. In addition, this flat roof covering does not mold when exposed to humidity or when water stagnates on the roof.
Its characteristics render the EPDM membrane to be very ecological: it is often made from recycled materials, while it is fully recyclable at the end of its life! It is therefore a sensible choice for residential or commercial owners that wish to participate in sustainable development.
Installation of an EPDM membrane
The EPDM membrane can be installed on new flat roof buildings, or replace the covering of an existing roof. EPDM is composed of ethylene, propylene, diene and monomer, or, more simply, it is a synthetic rubber. This type of material remains elastic during extreme colds, thus preventing the apparition of cracks.
It is an ecological and safe membrane since it is recyclable and its installation does not require fire. This covering is installed with the help of a solvent-free industrial glue. It is possible to cover the EPDM with river stones to achieve a lighter colour and create a very high resistance to bad weather.
