EPDM Rubber Roofing

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) synthetic rubber roofing is one of the most proven, resilient flat roofing materials in the world, with over five decades of field-tested performance. Windsor Roofing Pros installs and services heavy-gauge commercial EPDM rubber roofing systems for industrial warehouses, institutional facilities, multi-family apartment buildings, and commercial complexes across Windsor-Essex.

Engineered for Canadian Winter Extremes The climatic challenge in Southwestern Ontario is not just summer heat, but rapid freeze-thaw fluctuations during winter. EPDM rubber excels in our region due to its unmatched physical properties: - **300% Elongation Flexibility**: EPDM rubber maintains flexibility down to -45°C, expanding and contracting smoothly without cracking, splitting, or becoming brittle as building foundations shift. - **Large Seamless Sheets**: Available in widths up to 50 feet and lengths up to 100 feet, allowing large warehouse roofs to be covered with minimal field seams. - **Superior Hail & Puncture Resistance**: Heavy 60-mil and 90-mil rubber compounds absorb the impact of falling ice, hail, and tree branches without puncturing. - **Ozone & UV Aging Resistance**: Synthetic vulcanized rubber resists carbon oxidation, acid precipitation, and solar UV radiation.

Installation Systems: Fully Adhered & Ballasted 1. **Fully Adhered EPDM**: The rubber membrane is bonded directly to high-density polyiso insulation boards with high-strength contact adhesives, providing superior wind uplift resistance for tall or high-exposure commercial buildings. 2. **Ballasted EPDM**: The loose-laid membrane is weighed down with smooth river stone ballast or architectural concrete pavers, creating an economical and fire-resistant roof assembly. 3. **Cured Seam Tape Technology**: We assemble laps using factory-primed butyl polymer seam tapes that form watertight vulcanized bonds that withstand ponding water.
