Both offer 25-40+ year lifespan. Choice depends on traffic levels and budget. Professional recommendation based on your specific needs.
What is seaming and why is it important?
Seaming joins EPDM membrane sections creating water-tight seals. Proper seaming essential for system integrity and leak prevention. Professional seaming uses appropriate adhesives and techniques. Poor seaming causes leaks and failure. Professional EPDM seaming ensures lasting water protection and system reliability.
