EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, a synthetic rubber used in a range of flat roofing applications. Most commonly referred to as “rubber roofing”

Top Reasons to Choose EPDM:

Energy Efficient: During the winter in New England, the black EPDM does a great job of reducing heating costs which are generally 3-5 times higher than A/C costs during the summer.
Rooftop Safety: Because black EPDM does a great job of absorbing heat, it does a fantastic job of melting frost, dew, and ice. It also helps reduce the amount of snow on a roof and dries quickly.
Condensation: Undetected condensation can cause a ton of issues for flat roofs! The solar thermal benefits of black EPDM reduces potential condensation issues.
Quality Seams: Carlisle’s labor-saving Factory-Applied Tape (FATTM) and pressure- sensitive flashings improve the quality and consistency of seams. Electrical seaming equipment consumes natural resources and is dependent on the applicator using correct speed, temperature, and pressure to avoid false or cold welds

Carlisle EPDM roofs do a great job of adding energy efficiency to a house or commercial building. Check out some of the main reasons below!

Heating Reduction is Key

In Massachusetts & New England, heating costs account for a significantly larger amount of money for homeowners in comparison to cooling costs. So, in terms of a roof’s important factors, keeping a house warm during the winter is more critical than cool during the summer. The Carlisle black EPDM roof does an amazing job of absorbing heat for energy efficiency purposes.

Dark-Colored Membranes Outperform White

Because dark-colored roofs attract more heat, they are much better at saving energy in Massachusetts. Along with saving more money, black roofs create fewer carbon emissions because of the reduced heating demand.

That Leak Could Actually Be Condensation

Roofing materials that don’t get warm enough during the winter can lead to moisture accumulation within certain roof assemblies. What may appear to be a faulty roof material will simply be condensation forming in your building. Properly designed and installed insulation along with Carlisle’s EPDM can stop the formation of any condensation leakage.
