If you have a low-pitch roof that needs replacement, consider EPDM roofing in Minnesota. Schmidt Roofing recommends EPDM rubber roofing for many commercial buildings. Of all the commercial roofing options available, it’s often the least expensive. Despite that, it can last in most environments for several decades.
As expert roofers, we excel in all types of services and provide the following:
"Took care of roof and siding storm damage. Our insurance was not easy to work with and they helped with the process. They were able to find a near match to our no longer made siding when the insurance wouldn't cover every side. Logan was very responsive any time I had a question or needed something followed up on." - Dan .O
Not only does EPDM roofing last longer than most other commercial roofs, but it also requires little maintenance. Experts do recommend an annual inspection, though. You may need additional inspections after severe weather or work on the roof, such as an HVAC installation. In the event there’s an issue, EPDM is very easy to repair without shortening its life expectancy.
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer. It’s a type of synthetic rubber membrane that’s perfect for low-pitch or “flat” roofs. The material has residential applications as well, such as carports and patio roofs.
All EPDM products have multiple layers. The typical EPDM that we use has three layers and is black in color. The bottom layer provides the roof its foundation and allows it to expand and contract with the weather. The second layer is what gives EPDM its fire-retardant properties. The third and top layer has polyester fibers for even greater strength.
Some EPDM roofing material is white in color. This is because it has a fourth layer that serves as the top layer and reflects sunlight. EPDM with the fourth layer does cost more, but it can be worthwhile for the increased energy efficiency of the building.
There are three core installation techniques for EPDM. Attaching the EPDM with fasteners is a cost-effective approach, but it’s only recommended for simple roofs. The most common approach is adhesive installation. This is where we apply an adhesive and then roll the EPDM over it. For greater energy efficiency, experts recommend ballasted. This is where we secure the roofing material with concrete pavers or river-washed stones.
There are many benefits to EPDM rubber roofing:
Long lifespan
Low maintenance
Easy installation
Low material and labor costs
Effective in a wide temperature range
