Roofing / EPDM

Roofing or EPDM?

Roofing or bitumen roofing is the traditional material for covering flat roofs. Roofing is made from petroleum in combination with polyester. Roofing used to have a bad reputation, but this has disappeared in recent years. Roofing is now a lot more elastic due to the addition of synthetic fibers.

Nowadays there is an alternative to traditional roofing, namely: EPDM.

EPDM vs Roofing.

• EDPM has a lifespan of 50 years vs. 25 to 30 years for roofing.
• EPDM has a seamless roof surface vs. many seams in roofing (= more chance of leakage).
• Simple placement.
• You can walk on your EPDM roofing in both summer and winter without any problems. This is not the case with roofing. There is a risk of damage here.
• EPDM is perfectly available for water recovery, while roofing requires you to use extra filters or apply an extra coating.

Roofing benefits

• Resistant to moisture.
• Cheaper than EPDM.
• Bitumen consists of recycled material and therefore roofing is a sustainable material.
• Easy to repair or replace in case of problems.
• Perfect to combine with insulation.

Cons

• Installation takes place in different phases. There are also different layers, which causes a lot of seams and a risk of leakage due to poor maintenance.
• A bitumen roof requires annual inspection and maintenance.
