EPDM — Roofing Systems (Commercial and Residential)
At Panther’s Roofing & Siding LLC, we install EPDM in Lakewood, New Jersey, a highly efficient roofing system designed for residential and commercial properties. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber material known for its excellent weather resistance, waterproofing, and long lifespan. This type of system is especially ideal for flat or low-slope roofs.
Steps We Follow for EPDM System Installation
EPDM installation requires precision, proper material selection, and professional techniques that ensure adhesion, sealing, and long-term performance. Our process is based on strict technical standards:
- Surface Evaluation and Initial Diagnosis: Before installing the EPDM system, we analyze the roof structure to determine:
- Slope or leveling
● Condition of the deck or base
● Presence of moisture or deterioration
● Drainage needs
● Ventilation requirements
This diagnosis allows us to identify whether prior repairs or slope adjustments are necessary.
- Roof Preparation: To guarantee perfect adhesion, we prepare the installation area through:
- Complete debris removal
● Surface drying
● Repair of cracks or damage
● Installation of base layers (if applicable)
● Thermal conditioning in cold or humid areas
- Cutting and Layout of EPDM Material: The EPDM material is cut to size according to the roof dimensions. We then position the sections while considering:
● Drainage orientation
● Minimal seams
● Avoidance of wrinkles or bubbles
● Protection of critical areas
- Installation and Adhesion: Depending on the project, we use the following systems:
- Fully adhered
● Ballasted
● Mechanically attached
Each method ensures durability and resistance based on the type of structure and property conditions. We also seal joints and strategic points to guarantee watertightness.
- Final Review and Protection: Once installed, we perform drainage, sealing, and leveling tests. Finally, additional protections may be applied at the client’s request, such as:
- Thermal protection
● Reflective coatings
● Energy efficiency enhancements
