EPDM membrane roofing (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) meets all the performance criteria required for modern roof waterproofing. The white EPDM membrane roof is an ecological solution for roofing, reducing heat islands in urban areas. The service life of an EPDM membrane roof depends on the chosen material. An EPDM membrane thus has a lifespan of 25 to 50 years with maintenance every 10 years.
There are two ways to install an EPDM membrane roof.

Roof Ventilation

Roof venting is not a choice, it is a requirement of the National Building Code of Canada.
The two (2) main advantages of a roof ventilation system (attic ventilation) are:
The cooler roof in summer
The roof is dryer in winter

The main problem with the formation of moisture and ice in the roof (attic) is the unwanted heat from the attic and the resulting high temperatures. The solution is to keep the attic cool. It is essential that the air in the attic be within a few degrees of the same temperature as the air outside the house.
Difference between static fan and passive fan:
The static fan works with wind and pressure differentials, allowing it to create a chimney effect. The air is exchanged continuously. The passive fan (the air intake), on the other hand, is only a hole in the roof covered with a piece of metal that serves as protection. No suction force is created by this product. At Roof Star, we only use roof ventilation (attic ventilation), Ventilation Maximum fans . The Maximum fan is static while the air intake is a passive fan.
