When it comes to rubber roofing, granulated rolled roofing and fully adhered EPDM rubber are two options. Granulated rolled roofing is much simpler to set up than traditional shingles. It is installed horizontally across the roof and is much cheaper than other roofing materials. This material is typically reserved for buildings like garages, sheds, and barns rather than primary buildings.
EPDM, which stands for “Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer,” is a better choice for flat roofs. EPDM is simple to install and sometimes only requires a single sheet, eliminating the need for seams, but it lacks asphalt’s color variety (it is typically black but can be painted white for aesthetics and heat reflection). Due to its low cost and simple installation, EPDM is widely used in commercial buildings and flat roofs. Repairing a rubber roof is also not a hassle.
