Installing EPDM

EPDM is easy to install, because it typically comes in rolls sized to fit the project roof. Larger sized rolls also mean fewer seams on the roof. A smaller number of seams means less of a chance for water leaks. The size of the roll usually maxes out at 50 feet, so depending on the size of your roof, there may be no seams at all. Once the material is rolled out, it is just a matter of adhering it to the top of the roof with liquid adhesives or ballasts. Some newer formulations come in a peel-n-stick variety that eliminates the need for adhesives, which makes the installation job much faster and less messy.
