It felt like Pinnacle Roofing went back in time when we replaced an old rubber roof on a circa 1900 hunting lodge in Harmony, RI. This old rubber roof was replaced with a new EPDM rubber roof and 1" of Poly ISO insulation to improve the efficiency of the existing house attic insulation.
Pinnacle recommended Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) which is a high-density, synthetic rubber that provides long-term (30+ years) durability and weatherability. It offers quick and easy installation, and its elasticity is ideal for freeze/thaw conditions and hail-prone areas.
The Poly ISO Flat insulations consist of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core laminated to heavy, (non-asphaltic) glass fiber-reinforced felt facers that we adhere the EPDM with high strength solvent-based contact adhesive that allows quick bonding of EPDM membrane.
Lastly, instead of securing the rubber with a silver termination bar, we finished the edges with bronze edge metal to complement the copper flashing.
