One of the other biggest concerns that most commercial businesses have for their roofing decisions is the price tag. The good is that, despite bringing the best all-around protection to your building, EPDM is inexpensive and efficient compared to many of the other materials available.

There are a number of ways that EPDM is able to cut costs, with the first being how easy it is to install. Because it’s so lightweight and easy to work with, you’ll save on time and labor as well as future repairs due to its durability.

EPDM’s ability to stretch is great, but the fact that it holds together with an adhesive while being done in fewer pieces is better at preventing leaks. Underneath the single-ply layer, it’s attached to the structure of the roof for added protection.

It’s important to note that we recommend having a team of professionals install your layer of EPDM, because you’ll make sure that it’s done with the best results. The better the installation, the less repairs and maintenance you’ll need down the road.

Another way that EPDM can help your wallet is with the opportunities that it creates. By being made of a black material, it absorbs and attracts UV rays so it pairs great with solar panels. It’s rubber-like similarities also let it stretch, so it’s not hard to work around roof structures and designs.

With all of that said, there’s one thing that spells doom for roof structures that EPDM protects from the best: Water. Moisture and leaks can cause weakened beams and mold spores among other issues that can lead to a complete roof replacement, which can be very expensive.

EPDM is one of the best at preventing these problems, which increases the life span of your roof. It also can fit any surface that’s flat or low-angled so there’s nothing to stop you from having a team of Xterior Pros do the install, so give us a call!
