EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, often laid in one sheet across smaller roofs, which means few or no joints. It's flexible, copes well with temperature changes and doesn't need heat to install.
It's a strong choice for extensions, garages and dormers, giving a clean, low-maintenance finish that can last for decades when laid and detailed properly.

EPDM rubber roofing: common questions
Can you walk on EPDM?
Occasional maintenance access is fine, but it isn't designed as a regular walking surface without protection.
Is EPDM installed with a torch?
No. It is a cold-applied system, which is useful near timber and where hot works are a concern.
Does EPDM suit complicated roofs?
It works best on simple shapes. Very detailed roofs may suit GRP or liquid systems.
