The Durability of EPDM Roofing
EPDM roofing is durable and can withstand extreme temperatures. It can automatically reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 80 degrees in hot weather. EPDM roofs require minimal maintenance and repairs, which are often inexpensive.
Repairs can be made with liquid rubber or specialized tape. Some EPDM roofs only require cosmetic maintenance, such as repainting every 10 years to maintain color.
