Energy Efficient
Dark-colored EPDM is a strong choice for Vermont and other cold climates because it helps reduce heating costs, which are typically much higher than cooling costs. By absorbing heat, it lowers energy use and reduces overall carbon footprint. It also improves safety by helping melt snow and ice faster, reducing buildup and minimizing hazards from frost, dew, and icy surfaces. This added heat retention can also help limit condensation issues within the roof system.
EPDM — The Proven Rubber Membrane
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane that has been the standard for flat roofing in cold climates for over 50 years. It stays flexible in sub-zero Vermont temperatures, allowing it to expand and contract without cracking, while resisting UV, ozone, and long-term weathering. With proper installation, it delivers a 20 to 30 year lifespan and has a proven track record across New England. It also comes at a lower material cost than TPO, making it a strong option for residential homes, garage roofs, low-traffic flat roofs, and budget-conscious replacements where long-term durability matters most.
TPO — Energy-Efficient & Weld-Tight
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a white or light-colored roofing membrane designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat buildup during warmer months. It uses heat-welded seams, which are stronger than glued or taped joints, making the seams the strongest part of the system rather than the weakest. TPO is resistant to punctures, tears, and rooftop chemicals, and typically delivers a 15 to 25 year lifespan depending on membrane thickness. Energy Star rated options are available, making it a solid choice for light commercial buildings, additions with rooftop equipment, or homeowners looking for a durable system with strong seams and improved energy efficiency.
