Commercial EPDM Roofing
Commercial EPDM Roofing in Utah County
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) has been the proven workhorse of commercial flat roofing for decades. Its flexibility, UV resistance, and long performance track record make it a reliable choice for Utah County commercial buildings.
EPDM's Proven Track Record
EPDM rubber roofing has been installed on commercial buildings since the 1960s. The performance data on this system is extensive — we know how it ages, what its failure modes are, and how to install it correctly to maximize its lifespan. For building owners who value proven performance over novelty, EPDM is a compelling choice.
Why EPDM Works in Utah
Utah County's combination of high-altitude UV, wide temperature swings, and occasional heavy hail creates a challenging environment for roofing membranes. EPDM's rubber chemistry is inherently resistant to UV degradation and ozone exposure, and it maintains flexibility through extreme temperature cycling — properties that translate to longer service life in this climate.
Installation Methods
- Fully adhered — membrane bonded to insulation with adhesive, providing maximum wind resistance
- Mechanically attached — fasteners and plates secure membrane and insulation to the deck
- Ballasted — membrane held in place by stone ballast, lowest installation cost but requires structural assessment
Maintenance and Repairs
EPDM systems benefit from regular inspection of seams, lap edges, and flashings. Most EPDM failures are detectable and repairable before they cause interior damage. We offer maintenance programs that keep your EPDM system performing at its best.
Benefits
Why EPDM Continues to Perform
Decades of track record and excellent UV resistance for Utah County properties.
Exceptional UV Resistance
EPDM handles Utah County's high-altitude UV exposure better than most membranes — resisting oxidation and cracking that shortens the life of less resilient systems.
Temperature Flexibility
EPDM remains flexible through Utah's wide temperature swings — from sub-zero winters to 100°F+ summers. This flexibility prevents the cracking and splitting that affects rigid systems.
Cost-Effective on Large Roofs
EPDM's large sheet sizes reduce seam count on big roofs, and its installed cost is typically competitive with TPO — making it an efficient choice for large commercial applications.
Long Performance Track Record
EPDM has over 50 years of documented performance history. When installed and maintained correctly, it consistently delivers 20-30 year service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
EPDM Roofing FAQs
Common questions about EPDM commercial roofing systems.
How long does EPDM roofing last?
Well-installed EPDM systems with proper maintenance typically last 20-30 years. Some properly maintained systems have documented performance well beyond 30 years.
What are the main failure modes for EPDM?
Seam and lap failures (adhesive degradation over time), punctures from rooftop traffic, and shrinkage that pulls flashings away from walls and penetrations are the most common issues.
Can EPDM be repaired?
Yes. EPDM patches and seam repairs are straightforward with the right materials and technique. Most EPDM repairs provide long-lasting results when done correctly.
How does EPDM compare to TPO for Utah County buildings?
EPDM's longer track record and superior UV resistance are advantages in Utah's climate. TPO offers better energy efficiency (white membrane) and stronger seam technology. Both are excellent systems.
Is EPDM available in white for energy efficiency?
Yes. White EPDM is available and provides reflectivity similar to TPO. It typically carries a modest premium over standard black EPDM.
What thickness of EPDM do you recommend?
60 mil for most commercial applications. 45 mil is available at lower cost but offers less puncture resistance and a shorter expected service life.
