EDPM/ TPO Roofing
EDPM/ TPO Roofing
For EPDM roofing in Albany, contact us any time. EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer, a synthetic rubber membrane most often used on the low slope roofs of businesses and stores. EDPM roofing is also called rolled roofing or rubber roofing. One of the primary advantages of this material is the low cost, which is around $0.75 per square foot. EPDM is also very light, so the roof doesn’t need any reinforcements to support it. Installation of the rubber roof is a breeze because it’s rolled out in sections prior to being fastened to the structure. A high-quality EPDM installation can last two decades. The main disadvantages are the appearance and the ease of damages. Rubber roofing isn’t particularly attractive; this tends to matter less on commercial buildings. Also, the surface can be punctured relatively easily by sharp object or a fallen limb. If damage does occur however, roof leak repair is simple.
We also provide a Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing service in Albany. TPO is commonly used for commercial roofing because of its heat reflection and energy-efficient properties. Much like EPDM, the TPO roofing cost is lower because it’s a rubber-like material. In addition, it’s mostly used on flat or low-slope roofs. Installation and small repairs are faster than average because the material is easily replaceable.
