Rubber roofing, also known as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) roofing, is a durable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance solution for flat and low-slope roofs. Known for its excellent weather resistance, flexibility, and long lifespan, rubber roofing is a top choice for commercial buildings, residential additions, and industrial structures.
At S&T Metals, we specialize in high-quality rubber roofing installation and repair, ensuring a watertight, energy-efficient roof that protects your property for decades.
Why Choose Rubber Roofing?
A rubber roofing system provides exceptional durability, flexibility, and weather resistance, making it one of the best choices for flat and low-slope roofs. Here’s why:
- Superior Waterproofing: EPDM rubber roofing creates a seamless, watertight barrier that prevents leaks.
- Long Lifespan: With proper installation and maintenance, rubber roofing can last 30+ years.
- Energy Efficiency: Reflective coatings are available to help lower cooling costs in warm climates.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike other roofing materials, EPDM rubber requires minimal upkeep and can be repaired easily.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: EPDM is recyclable and made from sustainable materials, making it a green roofing option.

Going Green with a Rubber Roofing
EPMD is also one of the “greenest” roofing choices that a business or homeowner can make. The rubber itself takes less energy to produce than most other roofing materials and is often made from recycled materials. Another benefit is that the roof is 100% recyclable at the end of its long life. Rubber roofing is available in a variety of thicknesses from 45mm all the way up to 90mm.
Another benefit is that rubber roofing is fire resistant and are nearly impossible to set afire, even with a lightning strike. EPMD is resistant to all forms of fire and can help slow the progress of fire to the point that help has time to arrive. Business and homeowners should check with their insurance provider to see if there is a rate reduction for installing an EPDM roof.
