RUBBER ROOFING
What is Rubber Roofing?
Rubber roofing is made of recycled rubber material that is molded into profiles resembling traditional shake or slate roofing. Rubber roofing is a tough, long-lasting, lighter weight alternative for historic roof renovations.
The Advantages Of Rubber Roofing
For a product to be accepted in the market, it needs to have certain factors that distinguish it from the others. It is the same case with rubber roofing, which has certain benefits. The benefits of rubber roofing systems have been listed below. They are:
- Durable
- Energy efficient
- Environment friendly
- Low maintenance
- Provide great insulation
- Light in weight
- Weatherproof
- Easy to Install
Do you want a material which is easy to install? it is much easier to install than either individual roofing shingles or corrugated seam materials. Rubber roofing might even be installed right on top of your existing roof, sparing you the expense of tearing up and disposing of your old roofing material. That only applies, however, if your old roof is still in good shape. If you have more holes than you do shingles, you should have the shingles removed.
It is environmentally friendly, being completely biodegradable. Rubber roofing is also low-maintenance roofing.
Because It is flexible, it can "breathe" with a building, expanding and contracting in response to changes in the .temperature. This means that rubber roofing is not as stressed as more rigid roofing materials like asphalt shingles, and is suitable for a wider range of climates.
It is the best material for flat roofs, and most large commercial structures have flat roofs.
Rubber roofing is remarkably durable, with some of it being guaranteed for fifty years. Firestone, for example, promises that its E.D.P.M rubber roofing will neither split nor crack. Ever.
How accurate are the claims that rubber roofing will endure for half a century? We don't know, because the first rubber roof was not installed until 1980, but you can go to Wisconsin and visit it, because it is still working as well as ever today.
