Below are some of the Single-Ply Roofing options:

Ballasted EPDM Roofing System
The Ballasted EPDM Roof System utilizes large EPDM sheets held in place by smooth river stone or pavers. This system is extremely versatile and available in several different variations. When stone ballast is used this system is the most economical. The smooth stones used in this system offer an aesthetically pleasing surface appearance. The weight of the basic Ballasted Roof system is 12-14 pounds per square foot. Most Factory Mutual and Underwriters Laboratory recommendations can be met with this system. All EPDM membranes can be used in this system which includes 45 mil and 60 mil non-reinforced and 45 mil and 60 mil reinforced, but the 45 mil non-reinforced is the most commonly used. 5, 10, 15, or 20-year watertight warranties are available.

Fully Adhered EPDM Roofing System
With the Fully Adhered EPDM Roof System the EPDM sheets are fully adhered to the substrate with bonding adhesive. This system is extremely versatile and can be installed on steep slopes. This system also adapts itself very well to curved roof surfaces. This system is lightweight -- less than 2 pounds per square foot with most applications. This system is easily repaired. All Factory Mutual and Underwriters Laboratory recommendations can be met with this system. All EPDM membranes can be used in this system which includes 45 mil and 60 mil non-reinforced and 45 mil and 60 mil reinforced, but the 60 mil non-reinforced is the most commonly used. A white EPDM is also available that offers heat reflectivity. 5, 10, 15, or 20-year watertight warranties are available. (5 and 10 year watertight warranties available with white membrane.)
