COST-EFFECTIVE COMMERCIAL ROOFING
Mechanically Fastened EPDM Roofing
Secure, durable rubber membrane installed with mechanical fasteners. Ideal for large commercial buildings in Princeton, WV and surrounding areas.
When is mechanically fastened EPDM appropriate?
Mechanically fastened EPDM uses an attachment system to secure a rubber roofing membrane to a suitable roof deck. It is an option for commercial and low-slope roofing, but suitability depends on the deck, insulation assembly, wind-design requirements, and the selected manufacturer’s specifications. Double R Roofing offers mechanically fastened EPDM roofing in the Princeton area. An inspection should establish whether the existing roof can support the proposed work and identify drainage or moisture problems. Ask the proposal to specify the membrane, fasteners, attachment layout, perimeter details, seams, and flashing. Fastener selection and spacing are design decisions, not interchangeable rules for every building. Compare this approach with a fully adhered assembly using project-specific requirements and written warranty terms.
