Main uses of EPDM waterproofing membrane

 EPDM roofing also known as EPDM roofing is a synthetic rubber ie. a popular material used for roofing membranes for low slope or flat roofs throughout the US and abroad. It is an attractive choice for clients who avail of commercial roofing services.

EPDM sheets can be supplied in large modules of up to 800 square metres, without joints. If requested,  you can even order a piece of EPDM cut to size or EPDM roofing services from AKVM roofing company,  and you practically solve the cover without joints.

This makes them ideal for waterproofing large surfaces, such as shopping centre roofs, hotels, hospitals, etc.

They are even used to waterproof irrigation ponds, ponds, swimming pools, and reservoirs with millions of liters of water, the membrane remaining outdoors for many years and withstanding extreme temperatures without wearing out.

They are also used in places where you want to build green roofs because the EPDM roofing sheet is already anti-root.

What are the advantages of waterproofing a roof with this EPDM rubber membrane?

• Its duration is superior to that of bituminous blankets (asphaltic sheets). It also better withstands heat, without oxidizing or degrading.

• You do not depend too much on the skill of the workforce. These sheets are delivered in large, almost custom-made pieces, with the same thickness throughout the surface.

• The quality of this material provides the best resistance to ozone and ultraviolet radiation.

• EPDM lasts a long time. AKVM roofing company gives a material and service guarantee.

• It is a  flexible and very elastic material. It does not cause structural problems due to movements, breaks, or half-rounds (encounters with walls). Instead with asphalt fabrics, PVC, and other materials if you can have these problems.

• It can have a quick joint system, which makes it safer: the primer is applied, and then neither interior putty nor exterior putty. The paper is removed and the adhesive remains.

• With this system, it is easy and safe to waterproof singular points: drains, corners, and pipes that come out.

• As it is made from recycled rubber, there is no pavement breakage. When you drive a screw into the EPDM you tighten it and it stays tight.

• It has accessories for this, such as flashing, which is a kind of chewing gum that adapts and allows you to make a continuous sheet, even if you have pivots of solar panels or antennas there.

There is a system to make the EPDM in rehabilitation passable, and also with a system of recycled and ecological material:  recycled rubber tiles, formed by recycling old shredded tires. This will make it very resistant to foot traffic. For more information regarding EPDM rubber roofing, you can contact AKVM roofing company freely.
