What Is Firestone EPDM Roofing?
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane engineered specifically for low-slope and flat roofing applications. Firestone has been manufacturing high-quality EPDM roofing systems for decades, making it one of the most trusted names in the roofing industry.
EPDM membranes are available in large sheets, reducing the number of seams where leaks could occur. The material remains flexible through extreme temperature changes, making it an excellent roofing solution for Ohio's hot summers, freezing winters, heavy rain, hail, and snow.
Why Choose Firestone EPDM?
When it comes to protecting flat and low-slope roofs, Firestone EPDM rubber roofing delivers outstanding performance with minimal maintenance.
Exceptional Longevity
When professionally installed and properly maintained, an EPDM roof can last 30 to 50 years. Its durable rubber construction resists UV rays, ozone exposure, extreme heat, freezing temperatures, wind, rain, and snow.
Outstanding Weather Resistance
EPDM remains highly flexible instead of becoming brittle during freezing temperatures. It easily handles heavy rainstorms, thermal expansion, wind uplift, and extreme temperature swings.
Excellent Leak Protection
EPDM membranes are manufactured in large sheets to minimize roof seams. Fewer seams mean fewer leak opportunities, and properly sealed flashings provide exceptional waterproof protection.
Low Maintenance
EPDM roofing requires very little maintenance compared to other flat systems. Annual inspections can identify debris, drainage, or loose flashing issues, and repairs are completed quickly.
Energy Efficiency
Insulation installed beneath the EPDM membrane helps lower heating costs during winter and improve indoor comfort. White EPDM options are also available to reflect sunlight and lower cooling costs.
Professional Installation
Our certified team carefully prepares the roof deck, installs insulation base layers, seals seams, and completes detailed flashing specs according to Firestone instructions for watertight durability.
