over the top roofing

As any homeowner knows, a roof is an essential part of a house. Not only does it provide protection from the elements, but it also adds to the curb appeal of a home. However, roofs can be expensive to maintain and repair, and they often need to be replaced long before the rest of the house begins to show wear and tear. One way to extend the life of a roof is to rubberize it. Rubber roofing is a durable and weather-resistant material that can help to protect a roof from leaks, wind damage, and UV rays. In addition, rubber roofing is easy to install and repair, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want to keep their roofs in top condition.

Although rubber membrane roofing is used primarily on commercial and industrial projects, it is becoming a popular roof covering on low slope porches and dormers. The hottest item in the single-ply market is ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Long-term dependability, weathearbility, and durability are among the primary factors contributing to the rapidly increasing demand for EPDM roofs.

Single-Ply roofing systems are composed of insulation, a single ply membrane, flashings, and adhesive. TPO, EPDM, and PVC the three most common types of single-ply membrane systems. Since they consist only of a single layer of roofing over insulation, these popular systems are lightweight, making them an ideal choice for retrofits.
