EPDM Roofs

Professional Rubber Roofing Contractors

Skyward Roofing are experts in a variety of flat roofing systems. We provide metal, single-ply membrane, and flat roofs for our customers throughout Elmwood Park. The two most common types of flat roofs are EPDM and TPO. We install, repair, and maintain both types.

Also referred to as “rubber roofs”, EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane material that has been around since the 1960’s. They are a go-to roofing material for many commercial buildings. They have a long lifespan and usually come in black. This dark color absorbs sunlight which can help reduce your commercial building’s heating costs, and aid in energy efficiency.

An EPDM (ethylene propylene diene) roof is the easiest flat roof to install. This means reduced labor costs and downtime. These types of roofs are mechanically fastened, as well as using adhesives to bond edges together to ensure they are fully adhered. Rubber roofing does not require specialized tools and electricity to install, unlike other flat roof materials. They are also recyclable when they reach the end of their life!

What is an EPDM Roof?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is single-ply membrane roofing material, usually black. For a slightly higher cost, it can also come in white to conform with local ordinances. Also known as “rubber roofing”, it comes in a variety of thicknesses, and in wider rolls than TPO, generally making it more economical for large jobs. EPDM is durable, and has seams that are either fastened or glued down.
