What Is EPDM Rubber Roofing?
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It is a durable synthetic rubber membrane commonly installed on flat and low-slope roofs where asphalt shingles are not appropriate.
Depending on the building and roof design, an EPDM system may be fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted.
EPDM roofing systems can be Fully Adhered ( glued down ), Mechanically Attached ( Screws and Transition bars ), or Ballasted, ( uses loose heavy stones or gravel ), depending on your building’s structure and performance needs.
EPDM is available in large sheets that are carefully secured and sealed around roof edges, drains, walls, vents and other penetrations. When properly designed and installed, the complete membrane system provides flexible, long-term protection for commercial and residential roofing projects.
What Are the Benefits of EPDM Rubber Roofing in New Hampshire?
EPDM rubber roofing is a durable low-slope roofing option that performs well in New Hampshire’s changing weather conditions. The flexible membrane is designed to handle temperature swings, freeze-thaw cycles, snow, ice, and prolonged moisture exposure while providing dependable protection for flat and low-slope roof areas.
EPDM is commonly used on commercial buildings, multifamily properties, home additions, porches, garages, and other roof areas where traditional asphalt shingles are not appropriate. Its large membrane sections can help reduce the number of seams, and when properly installed, EPDM provides reliable long-term water resistance.
For New Hampshire property owners, EPDM is especially useful because it remains flexible in cold temperatures and can perform well on properly designed roofs exposed to snowmelt, heavy rain, and seasonal temperature changes.
Durable Rubber Roofing Systems for Flat and Low-Slope Commercial Buildings
EPDM is commonly used on roofs that do not have enough slope for traditional asphalt shingles. The appropriate roofing system depends on the roof deck, drainage, existing construction and overall building design.

Frequently Asked
EPDM Rubber Roofing Questions
Is EPDM roofing only used on commercial buildings?
No. EPDM is commonly installed on commercial buildings, condominium properties and multifamily structures, but it may also be appropriate for residential additions, porches, garages, dormers and other flat or low-slope roof sections where asphalt shingles should not be installed.
What is the difference between EPDM and TPO roofing?
EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane that is generally black, while TPO is a thermoplastic membrane that is commonly white or light-colored and uses heat-welded seams. The best system depends on the building design, roof slope, drainage, existing construction, energy goals and project requirements. Learn more about our TPO membrane roofing systems.
Can EPDM be installed over an existing roof?
Sometimes. but only after the existing roof and underlying assembly have been evaluated. Trapped moisture, damaged decking, deteriorated insulation, existing roof layers and local building-code requirements can affect whether a new membrane may be installed over the current system.
How long does an EPDM roof last?
The useful life of an EPDM roof depends on membrane thickness, installation quality, roof design, drainage, weather exposure and maintenance over time. A properly designed and professionally installed system can provide dependable long-term protection, but no single lifespan applies to every roof.
