What Is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber single-ply membrane that has been used on low-slope commercial roofs for decades. It is usually black, though white versions are available. Unlike TPO and PVC, EPDM is a thermoset membrane, so seams are joined with seam tape and adhesives rather than heat welding. EPDM can be fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted depending on the building.
Benefits of EPDM Rubber Roofing
- Long track record – EPDM is one of the most established low-slope roofing membranes in commercial construction.
- Flexible rubber membrane – EPDM stays flexible through temperature swings, which helps it handle building movement.
- Large sheets – Wide rolls can cover big roof areas with fewer seams.
- Several attachment options – Adhered, mechanically attached and ballasted systems give us options for different decks and budgets.
- Straightforward repairs – Many EPDM leaks can be repaired with compatible patches and seam materials.
- Johns Manville systems – We install Johns Manville EPDM; ask us about the warranty options available for your project.
Buildings EPDM Roofing Is a Good Fit For
- Commercial – offices, retail, churches, schools and strip centers
- Industrial – warehouses, shops and manufacturing buildings with large, open roof areas
- Multi-family – apartment buildings, condominiums and townhome communities with low-slope sections

EPDM Roofing FAQ
Is EPDM the same as a rubber roof?
Yes. EPDM is the synthetic rubber membrane most people mean when they say rubber roofing on a commercial building.
How is EPDM different from TPO?
EPDM is a rubber membrane with taped or adhered seams, while TPO is a thermoplastic with heat-welded seams. Each has strengths, and we will recommend the right one for your roof.
Can you repair my existing EPDM roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the membrane and insulation are in reasonable shape, targeted repairs or a roof coating may extend its life. An inspection will tell us.
Which EPDM systems do you install?
We install Johns Manville EPDM roofing systems.
