What is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used in low-slope buildings in Canada and worldwide. Its two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, are derived from oil and natural gas.

- Proven hail resistance
- Flexibility in low temperatures
- High resistance to high winds, hail, UV rays and abrasion
- Thermal shock durability

EPDM Roofing Installation – Burlington and Area
Old roofing is completely removed prior to installation in typical installations. Roofers Burlington applies a single ply membrane is available in large rolls that enables easy installation. Our qualified roof technicians weld seams with a hot air gun across the roof surface using a range of methods that include mechanically fastening, adhesives or ballasting that provide heavy-duty reinforcement and superior protection for roof systems in commercial and industrial locations in Burlington.
How Long Does an EPDM Roof Last?
The single ply membrane of an EPDM roof will normally last for several decades with regular maintenance. Many of the first rubber roofs installed over 40 years ago are still in place with regular repair. The average life expectancy of an entire EPDM system (including original membrane and installation) is anywhere from 20 to 35 years. Ultimately, similar to most roofing materials, the longevity of an EPDM roof depends on a range of factors that include the specific structural characteristics of a building and the location and climate since rubber roofing is largely reliant on evaporation to clear water pooling.
