Roof Replacement
Report
Rubber roof membranes were developed in the 1960's. EPDM was first employed in waterproofing applications as pond liners. As these membranes were installed on roofs, they used stone or ballast to hold them down. EPDM gained popularity during the oil embargo of the 1970's. As the supply of oil decreased, asphalt prices went up as well as the demand for a lower cost roofing solution.
