EPDM is by far the most typical roof type in the RV industry. The reason for this is simple. EPDM has been proven time and time again to be one of the most weather-resistant and durable roofing solutions on the market. This is especially important for RVs and motor homes, as they are constantly on the move and frequently finding themselves in inclement weather.<\/p>\n
If your RVs roof has sprung a leak, there is no need to panic. Even though it may seem daunting to hop up on the roof and fix the problem, in most cases the repairs are simple to make. All you need are the right tools and a little bit of knowledge, and that leak will soon be plugged!<\/p>\n
Even though the original EPDM is exceptionally durable, the truth is that over time everything fades and wears out and the membrane will chalk exposing the black. While your EPDM roof will last longer than other roof types for your RV, at some point it will become necessary to make repairs.<\/p>\n
You will need three things. The first is a reputable liquid coating that has proven itself in the industry. In a nutshell, a product like RvRoofMagic<\/a> is a liquid version of rubber in this case Butyl Rubber. It does go further than other coatings on the market as its proprietary solvent allows for a chemically cross-link to occur whereby the coatings and your roof become one in the same. After applying the product to your roof, it will dry and fill in holes and extend your roof another 15-18 years. Secondly, you are going to need a 3\/8-inch nap roller, which you will use to apply the product evenly to the surface of your RV or motor home\u2019s roof. This will allow it to self-level as it dries. Finally, you are going to need something to clean that roof. We suggest Roof Protect available at: https:\/\/www.epdmcoatings.com<\/a><\/p>\n
