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.
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 that is easy to install? Rubber 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 materal. 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.
Rubber roofing is environmentally friendly, being completely biodegradable. Because it is flexible, it can "breathe" with a building, expanding and contracting in response to changes in 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. Rubber roofing is also the best material for flat roofs, and most large commercial structures have flat roofs. Rubber is remarkably durable, with some of it being guaranteed for fifty years. Firestone, for example promises that it's E.D.P.M Rubber roofing with neither split nor crack. EVER.
How accurate are the claims that a rubber roof will last 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. Below are photos of some recent rubber roof work we have done.
