Dutt Roofing Solutions EPDM Rubber Roof Systems

The EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) single-ply rubber roofing
membrane has been an excellant choice for the low-slope commercial roofing
industry for over 40 years. The number one roofing choice of architects, roof
consultants and contractors for both new construction and replacement
roofing projects according to market surveys from Building Design and
Construction, and Roofing/Siding/Insulation magazines, and the National
Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).
EPDM has gained industry-wide acceptance and respect by providing
immediate and long-term roofing solutions. As environmentalists and code
regulators place more emphasis on the sustainable performance of building
materials, EPDM continues to be the roofing material that stands the test of
time. Characteristics that contribute to EPDM's overall system performance
include:

* Membrane fatigue resistance
* High resistance to ozone, weathering and abrasion
* Flexibility in low temperatures
* Thermal shock durability
* Proven hail resistance
* Superior resistance to extreme heat and fire
* Ultraviolet radiation resistance

EPDM's high resistance to wind damage has also proven to be an
increasingly desirable attribute. These roof systems can be designed to meet
a variety of wind uplift criteria from Factory Mutual, including 1-60, 1-90, and
1-120 ratings and greater, and the stringent code of Dade County, Florida.
Architects, roof consultants and contractors have come to depend on EPDM's
time tested, long-term performance.
EPDM membrane formulations have remained relatively constant for the
past 30 years, with roof systems installed in the 1970s still performing well.
Even so, EPDM manufacturers remain committed to continuous product
innovations. In response to technological advancements, membrane research
and contractor requests for more ergonomic products, EPDM accessory
products continue to evolve in order to meet the demands of the industry.
The innovation of seam tapes in the 1980s to replace liquid adhesives has
resulted in reduced reliability on contractor workmanship, greater
productivity for the contractor and enhanced performance for the roof
system and building user. Self-adhering components (components that have
factory-applied adhesive tape) have increased roof system quality, especially
in more problematic areas such as fl ashing installations. Installation
equipment has evolved as well. Ergonomic innovations have reduced crew
force fatigue and have enhanced roof system installation and performance.
The highly puncture resistant and tough 90 mil EPDM membrane offers the
thickest layer of monolithic waterproof protection in the roofing industry.
The 90 mil EPDM roof systems are redefining the roofing industry and the
expectations of architects, roof consultants and building owners. Thirty-year
warranties are now available on roofing systems that utilize 90 mil EPDM
membrane. This is the only long-term performance guarantee in the roofing
industry, and can include warranty coverage for punctures, hail and wind
speeds up to 100 mph.
