IS EPDM RUBBER WATERPROOF?
EPDM rubber is a waterproof material that makes it an ideal choice for flat roofs.
As the synthetic rubber is compromised of ethylene, propylene and diene, the membrane boasts waterproofing properties that make sure that your roof is protected during rainy and wet periods.
Furthermore, an EPDM rubber roof provides smooth surfaces and soft edges which is ideal for making sure rainwater is passed down to nearby gutters.
Water damage can easily be caused to traditional flat roof materials as ponding water can seep through the integrity of the material over time.
This can gradually lead to damp and further damage caused to the roof and ceiling of your shed or home.

With its incredibly durable and waterproofing qualities, an EPDM rubber roof can last up to 50 years. How long should a rubber roof last?
