Cost EPDM roofing
The cost of having EPDM roofing installed depends mainly on the area of the roof, the type of roof and the type of EPDM. Further pre- and finishing of the roof also affects the total price. There are several options when it comes to EPDM roofing. EPDM by itself suffices as a complete roofing material, but it can also be used as roofing under a green roof. By outlining some examples of different situations incl. the corresponding average costs, we hope to give you a better idea. These average costs are calculated based on an average roof in the Netherlands (50 m2) incl. VAT and labor costs.

Why choose EPDM roofing
EPDM roofing is very durable and lasts up to 30 years. EPDM is a synthetic rubber, making it highly elastic and resistant to large temperature differences. This makes it less likely to crack and longer lasting. EPDM roofing can be placed on the roof in one custom-made piece. Choosing EPDM is suitable for flat roofs both small and huge. From garage or shed to an entire factory can be fitted with EPDM roofing. Want to know if EPDM is the right kind of roofing for your project?

Having EPDM roofing installed
There are several methods available when installing EPDM roofing. Typically, EPDM foil is used, which is custom-made foil roofing rubber. These can be placed overlapping each other in the case of a roof with a large surface area.
Do you choose an experienced roofer from Dakdekkers 24/7? Then we will give you tailored advice and work with you to determine the best choice of material and installation method. The three possible applications of EPDM roofing are:
EPDM adhesives
Preferably, the EPDM is attached directly to the underlying layer. This is only possible when this substrate is suitable for bonding. Is this not the case? Then the installation of an intermediate layer is necessary.
EPDM with ballast layer
In this method, the foils are laid loose directly on the roof. The foils are weighted down using a weighty layer, such as gravel or pebbles.
Mechanical fastening
This fastening method involves attaching the EPDM to the roof using screws. The screws go through the EPDM and insulation layer to be attached directly to the roof. This method is becoming more common because an experienced roofer gets this job done quickly.
