What applications are suitable for EPDM membrane?
EPDM membrane can be used for low and steep slope roofing, as well as unusually shaped structures (such as domes, barrels and other geometrically shaped roofs) due to its versatility. The membrane can be adhered, mechanically fastened, or loose laid. It can be installed above or below insulation (i.e., an IRMA application), and can also be used in below grade waterproofing applications. Unlike most asphalt base products that are limited in their installation to a fully adhered application and have restrictions of ponded water, EPDM membrane can be used successfully in exposed or concealed assemblies due to its ability to withstand temperature extremes and resist the absorption of moisture.
