What is EPDM, and why is it so effective?  

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane known for its flexibility and ability to withstand extreme weather, including UV rays, ozone, intense cold, and constant moisture. Its structure resists cracking and shrinking, ensuring continuous, long-lasting waterproofing.  

Key advantages of EPDM systems:  

EPDM offers durability of up to 30-40 years with minimal maintenance. It has superior resistance to UV radiation, hail, and thermal fluctuations. In addition, its flexibility allows it to adapt to complex architectural details, while its single-layer installation reduces points of failure. For all these reasons, it is ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential flat roofs.

This system can be installed adhered, ballasted, or mechanically fastened, adapting to different types of structures and specific needs. Its dark color allows it to absorb heat, which is beneficial in cold climates or for buildings that require efficient heating. It is applied in large panels that minimize joints, reducing the risk of leaks.

Installation process and guaranteed quality  

At ALLEN ROOFING LLC, we conduct a prior technical evaluation to check substrate condition, slope, and drainage, ensuring the surface is ready for proper EPDM adhesion. We meticulously seal critical points like corners, penetrations, and edges, guaranteeing optimal waterproofing.

  • Multi-family residential complexes.
