EPDM rubber roofing materials are produced in different thicknesses. They are .045, .060, and .090 thousandths of an inch. Most contractors use the industry standard thickness of .060 thousandths of an inch, which is very near the thickness of a single quarter.
EPDM is a thin synthetic rubber prone to punctures due to foot traffic from workman servicing units on a roof.
Although rubber mats are placed where foot traffic is likely to occur, they are seldom used consistently enough to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. The EPDM is compromised and small needed repairs can become structural leaks.
Although EPDM has been a popular single ply roofing system for over 40 years, the adhesives used in their installation, fail prematurely.
