Rubber roofing, also known as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolyme) roofing, is a type of roofing material that is made of synthetic rubber. EPDM rubber roofing is typically manufactured as large rolls or sheets, which are then adhered or mechanically fastened to the roof surface. It is available in different thicknesses, typically ranging from 45 to 90 mils (thousandths of an inch), to accommodate specific requirements and provide adequate protection. Another key characteristic of rubber roofing is its flexibility. The material can expand and contract with temperature changes, making it less prone to cracking or splitting, especially in regions with frequent temperature fluctuations. This flexibility also allows the roofing to accommodate building movement without sustaining damage. It is often chosen for its excellent waterproofing properties. The seamless installation of EPDM sheets, along with the use of proper adhesives or fasteners, creates a watertight barrier that prevents water infiltration. This feature is especially critical for flat roofs that are more susceptible to water pooling.
Rubber roofing is a popular choice for flat or low-slope roofs, and is commonly used on commercial and industrial buildings, as well as residential homes. Rubber roofing is durable, lightweight, and flexible, making it a good choice for areas with extreme temperature fluctuations. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, rain, and snow, and is also resistant to UV radiation and ozone. Rubber roofing is typically installed in large sheets that are glued or mechanically attached to the roof surface. The seams are then sealed with specially designed tape or adhesive to prevent water from penetrating the roof.

One of the advantages of rubber roofing is that it requires very little maintenance, and can last for up to 50 years with proper installation and care. It is also energy-efficient, as it reflects heat from the sun, helping to reduce cooling costs in the summer.
