Businesses and homeowners alike just love fully adhered roofing systems for their durability, energy efficiency and easy-care maintenance. Made with EPDM synthetic rubber (ethylene propylene diene Monomer (M-class) rubber), the system is lightweight and can adapt to any design. Unlike ballasted roofs, this roofing system sticks to the substrate with adhesives rather than passively being weighted down so it can handle sloped, irregularly shaped and contoured roofs.
This roofing style has such benefits as withstanding the mechanical stress from high wind uplift, resisting sheet flutter and billowing, attractiveness and is ideally suited for green roofs and roofs with PV installations. With their high emphasis on good looks, these roofs are especially designed for buildings whose roofs are clearly visible from the street. Roof repair is infrequent since the single-ply roof is a modern icon of watertight protection with its EPDM membrane and hot-air welded seaming.
Contact your local roofing contractor to find out pricing since adhered roofs are competitively priced with more traditional roofs. Some installers use an EPDM membrane and feltback combination to minimize any substrate irregularities showing through which is an added plus when dealing with a substrate imperfections. Fully adhered roof systems are also ideal for attaching to non-nailable substrates like cement and can be added to other adhered roofing systems without compromising vapor retarders since it is fastener free.
One last thing when considering fully adhered roofing systems is that for street visibility esthetics, a vinyl profile in either standard or custom colors can be welded to the EPDM membrane to simulate the look of a seamed metal long shingle roof.
