EPDM
Lightweight, synthetic elastomer material used in roofing since the early 1970s. Its resilience, tensile strength, elongation, resistance to ozone, ultraviolet light and ponding water make EPDM a superb roofing material. EPDM membranes are also available in fleece back, which can be installed in hot asphalt or low rise adhesive.
Single Ply
Single Ply Roofing is a single layer of roofing material. This type of system that is very popular on the East Coast. Single Ply Roofing has many advantages:
- Provides high puncture and tear resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and high tensile strength
- Offers superb resistance to ozone and UV exposure, extreme weather conditions, chemicals, and fire
- Heavy equipment is not required
- The membrane can be applied during inclement weather
- Reflective coating reduces energy costs
- Offers advantages of the proven weathering of both rubber and plastic membranes
Membrane sheets are somewhat larger than conventional material and many are custom manufactured to individual job specifications. There are three types of membranes used in our Single Ply Roofing systems. The professionals at Fairchild Roofing can recommend the one best suited for your roof:
- EPDM (Ethyl Propylene Diene Monomer) — an elastomeric rubber roofing membrane
- PVC (Thermoplastic Membrane) — an energy efficient, fiber-reinforced, lightweight roof membrane
- TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin Membrane) — a high quality, reinforced membrane with superior tear strength and stability
