EPDM rubber roofing membrane is so popular because it is proven to last for up to 50 years with little maintenance. Resistant to extreme temperature, weathering and ultra violet radiation. In this article we discuss the features that has made this type of single ply roofing membrane to become so popular in the UK.

Rubber roofing membranes were introduced to the building market in the 1960's and have a 50 year history of use. EPDM rubber roofing membrane has been used in the most demanding situations to stop water seeping through roofs onto the content of residential homes and industrial properties. EPDM rubber roofing membranes are now routinely used for flat roofs replacing the three layer felt system that was commonly used. The difference between these two roofing systems is that EPDM has over a three times longer life span, it can be recycled and the water that runs off this roofing system is safe to use in 'grey water' recycling.
