Since its invention over twenty years ago, EPDM has become one of the most popular solutions for flat roofing, and as news of its many benefits spreads, DIY EPDM from Classic Bond is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most popular and effective options.
What is EPDM?
EPDM is a synthetic material which is similar to rubber in its production and characteristics. The letters EPDM stand for ethylene propylene diene monomer.
In addition to material used in roofing, it has a number of other uses including flooring for balconies, roofs for sheds and animal habitats such as kennels and hutches and shepherd huts.
Benefits
The main reason for the intense popularity of EPDM is that it offers so many benefits to building owners.
Stating that it is waterproof is a gross understatement. Not only is it guaranteed to remain watertight for up to fifty years, but the material actually repels water, meaning that as well as helping to prevent damp and leaks, there is also the avoidance of moss, algae and other growths.
In addition, EPDM also provides a layer of insulation for the property in question meaning that in addition to keeping heat inside the property and reducing the amount of draughts which can enter, the heating and fuel bills are likely to be reduced. This can significantly improve the carbon footprint of the building owner.
A final benefit to the installation of EPDM is that it will not, in its fifty year guaranteed lifespan pollute or poison any of the water which runs away from it. This gives a huge benefit to any building owner who wishes to harness the rain water for either personal or gardening use.

Because of the simple installation methods, many people opt for EPDM on a DIY basis, and thanks to their growing reputation for strong products together with enviable customer service, the reputation of Classic Bond as a supplier of DIY EPDM is spreading rapidly.
