EPDM Roofing: Proven Flat Roof Protection
EPDM roofing, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer roofing, is a trusted choice for flat roofs. It’s highly durable, weather-resistant, and offers long-lasting protection. Made from synthetic rubber, it can withstand extreme temperatures, UV rays, and environmental stressors, ensuring a watertight seal that keeps your flat roof free from leaks and moisture damage. With a typical lifespan of 20-30 years or more and minimal maintenance requirements, EPDM roofing is an excellent hassle-free solution for property owners.

Roofing Adhesive
Roofing adhesive is used to adhere the EPDM membrane to the roof deck. It provides secure and waterproof attachment.
Roof Insulation
Insulation materials are installed above the roof deck to enhance thermal performance and energy efficiency, particularly in low-slope or flat roofs.
Sealants and Primers
Sealants and primers are used to prepare and seal the substrate and enhance waterproofing and sealing at various points in the roofing system.
