Commercial EPDM roofing in US offers durability and longevity. However, the success of your EPDM roof depends on what lies beneath. Indeed, proper underlayment ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your investment. Let's explore the essential components installed under an EPDM membrane. The Importance of a Solid Substrate Before installing any underlayment, a clean and stable substrate is necessary. This layer provides a foundation for the entire roofing system. Structural Decking: The Base Support: This is the lowermost layer of your roof structure. It is typically constructed from materials such as plywood or concrete. Importantly, the structural decking must be completely sound, exhibiting no signs of rot, damage, or weakness. Therefore, it needs to provide a consistently secure and level surface upon which all other roofing components will be installed. Experienced roofing contractors will meticulously inspect the existing decking. Moreover. they will rigorously repair or completely replace any sections that are compromised or deemed inadequate to support the new roofing system. Cover Boards: Achieving a Smooth and Protective Surface: These are rigid, flat boards that are mechanically fastened or adhered directly over the structural decking. Their primary function is to create a smooth, uniform, and dimensionally stable surface for the layers above. Furthermore, cover boards play a vital role in protecting the underlying insulation layer from damage caused by foot traffic or other stresses.

Beyond providing a smooth surface, they also contribute to enhancing the overall fire resistance rating of the roof assembly, adding an important safety element.
