Advantages of EPDM

Time-Tested

Meeting or exceeding ASTM standards, black EPDM roofs have been used for more than 50 years and white EPDM roofs have been used for more than 30 years.

Energy Efficient

Black EPDM helps to reduce heating costs in northern climates and white EPDM aids in reducing cooling costs in southern climates.

Rooftop Safety

Black EPDM helps to melt frost, dew, and ice, reduces a roof's snow load, and dries more quickly than a light-colored roof.

Reduces Condensation

Black EPDM membrane can help to reduce the potential for condensation issues on the roof.

Durable

EPDM membrane provides excellent resistance to any weathering and hail damage.

Why EPDM?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) offers a proven history of performance over 58 years based on superior flexibility, elongation, UV resistance, and hail damage resistance. Dark-colored EPDM helps building owners save on heating costs, and light-colored EPDM helps building owners save on cooling costs.

EPDM Installation

Installation is important when it comes to putting a single-ply roofing system on a building. There are over 150 variations of details available from Carlisle SynTec for EPDM roofing systems. Videos have been put together for many of these details, and can be found below.

System Options

Adhered

A fully adhered system provides the highest level of stability and uplift protection, plus a complete line of adhesives available for high-wind areas.

System Options

Ballasted

With a fast and easy installation, ballasted assemblies are a popular option for the large, open rooftops found on retail stores, warehouses, and other buildings.

System Options

Mechanically Fastened

The most widely installed system in commercial roofing, mechanically-fastened assemblies are perfect for areas with moderate winds.

System Options

Vent Secured

Using V2T vents, the vent secured system creates a suction effect that strengthens the entire roof and holds the membrane securely in place.
