EPDM Roofing

Please browse the recent articles featured for the tag EPDM roofing. The PermaRoof UK blog provides industry and company news, customer stories, product features and analysis for our customers and peers in the industry.

EPDM is a system that uses EPDM single-ply membrane and supplies. More of the country’s homeowners are using EPDM systems for DIY flat and shed roofing. This is because it is faster and easier to apply than many other roof materials and is typically fitted in a single piece, eliminating joins. It is also growing in popularity for green roof projects due to its waterproofing performance over an expected lifespan of more than 50 years.
