Rubber Roofing (EPDM) Solutions by Mustang Roofing
What Is Rubber Roofing (EPDM)?
Rubber roofing, also known as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), is a synthetic rubber membrane widely used for low-slope and flat roofing systems. EPDM roofing is recognized for its long lifespan, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather.
At Mustang Roofing, we specialize in installing and maintaining high-quality EPDM systems tailored to Georgia’s unique climate — offering a cost-effective, low-maintenance roofing solution for both residential and commercial property owners.

Key Features of EPDM Roofing
Material Composition: Made from ethylene and propylene (derived from natural gas and oil), EPDM comes in large rolls, typically in black or white.
• Installation Methods: Can be fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted — allowing flexibility for different building needs.
• Thickness Options: Commonly available in 45 mil, 60 mil, and 90 mil thicknesses.
• Color Options: Black for traditional absorption and white for reflective energy savings.
Benefits of Rubber Roofing
Durability: Resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and temperature extremes — lasts 25–30+ years with proper maintenance.
Flexibility: Maintains integrity in both freezing cold and high heat without cracking or shrinking.
Waterproof: Seamless protection with heat-welded or taped seams, ideal for low-slope designs.
Cost-Effective: Lower upfront and long-term maintenance costs compared to other flat roofing options.
Eco-Friendly: Fully recyclable and often installed using low-VOC adhesives.
Fire Resistance: Meets or exceeds fire code requirements.
