Rubber roofs have many merits which help to explain why roofing of this type has become more common on UK homes. Such roofing is affordable – and, once fitted, can remain intact for over 50 years. Naturally, this can translate into excellent value for money.

Nonetheless, rubber roofs are not entirely immune to wear and tear – and, if you detect signs of it on your roof, summer is an especially good time to arrange for its replacement.

Summer can help a rubber roof installation to succeed

If your roof has sprung a leak or some shingles are noticeably missing, it’s a good idea to have that roof replaced while the outside temperatures are still warm. One major reason why is that, as your new rubber shingles are put in place, the heat will help them form a watertight seal.

The Bob Vila site is adamant that “wintry conditions and reroofing simply don’t mix”. Besides, a new rubber roof now can better protect you when the harsher winter weather arrives.

You can select an eco-friendly roofing solution

At Vantage, we are experts in installing EPDM roofs. EPDM – this acronym stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer – is a form of rubber which is entirely synthetic.

If you are concerned about your impact on the environment, then EPDM rubber is an excellent choice for your roof, as roofs of this type comprise recycled materials, says DoItYourself.com. EPDM can also itself be recycled when the time finally comes for a roof of this material to be replaced.

A rubber roof can generate savings all year round

Another attractive quality of EPDM for a summer installation is the material’s ability to reflect heat and so trim cooling costs during that time of the year. This is just one way in which you can quickly start benefitting from an EPDM covering once it is installed.

EPDM can also assist in insulating your home in winter – and, thus, cutting costs of the heating rather than cooling kind.

An EPDM roof in white can especially effectively reflect heat

When you order an EPDM roof from our North East roofing company, you can opt to receive that roof in either black or white. While cosmetic concerns might factor into your decision between the two, from a practical point of view, there’s currently an especially strong incentive to choose white…

One eye-opening statistic shared by The Guardian is that a white roof reflects about 85% of sunlight hitting it. This bodes well for how cool the roof can stay.
