Why Choose Ruberoid for Roofing???

Felt roofing materials are very demandable nowadays. Many homeowners have already skipped from traditional ones to a new way of low-slope and flat roof installation. Ruberoid coatings are very popular because they include membranes that are easy to apply. Such roofing materials as TPO, PVC, EPDM are installed fast and protect residential and commercial premises for many years without any necessity of repairs.

The most notable feature of the contemporary felt roofing construction types is their weather-proof properties. It means that homeowners can opt for the high-level and solid housetop covered by ruberoid coatings of the latest models. Installation costs are also budget-friendly which makes PVC, EPDM, and TPO the most affordable ones on the present-day market. Ruberoid membranes and shields protect residential and commercial premises from fire, extreme weather, and other external irritants.

TPO, PVC, EPDM – What Is the Difference?

Let’s take a closer look at the most widespread ruberoid types according to customer’s reviews. Americans prefer redoing a flat roof or low-slope housetops with TPO (thermostatic polyolefin), EPDM (ethylene, propylene, and diene monomer), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). A short description of each together with their strong and weak points are presented here: 

EPDM – the ruberoid type without surface granules and smooth upside. It can be stored everywhere you wish because it has no shelf restrictions. The average installation cost varies from $6 up to $11 (per square foot). The customers notice that EPDM coating is a wind-resistant, water-proof, and very solid professional roofing material that is applied fast. Among the disadvantages of the ethylene, propylene, and diene monomer membranes is their thin structure. Some homeowners prefer thicker materials.
TPO – thermoplastic polyolefin is one more popular ruberoid type for commercial and residential flat roof installations. The challenging specification of TPO is its way of application. Membranes should be nailed or glued to the rooftop surface. That is why incorrect installations cause water and air leakage and reduced lifespan of this felt coating. Nevertheless, TPO is widely used by MA homeowners for its weather resistance. Moreover, the price is affordable for average American families – $7-15 per square foot.
PVC – one more felt roofing coating that is notable for its fire-proof and weather-resistance properties. In comparison with plastic flat roofs and other types of housetops, polyvinyl chloride-based installations serve much longer in conditions of ever-changing climate with dry winds, storms, and heavy rains. It is worth noting that installation costs are not too high – about $6-12 for a square foot.
