Alexandria, Va. (October 15, 2004)
Alexandria, Va. (October 15, 2004) - The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) announced the availability of a Spanish and Canadian French version of ERA Technical Bulletin No.1, a comprehensive guide and primer to the EPDM rubber roofing system and to overall system performance information.
"Our association is committed to being an educational resource for the roofing marketplace. By creating a Spanish and Canadian French version of our Technical Bulletin, we empowering Spanish and Canadian French-speaking roofing professionals with valuable information on making the best use of the EPDM roofing membrane," explained Robert Delaney, ERA's Communications Committee chairman.
The EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) rubber roofing membrane has been an appealing choice of the low-slope commercial roofing industry for over 40 years, with more than 500,000 warranted roof installations on 20 billion-plus square feet. Annually, EPDM accounts for over 1 billion square feet of new roof coverings in the United States, and is the most frequently used roofing material in the marketplace. Building Design and Construction magazine and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) confirmed in their 2002-2003 market surveys that EPDM continues to be the number one roofing membrane of architects, roof consultants and contractors for both new construction and replacement roofing projects.
The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) is the first trade association solely representing the manufacturers of EPDM single-ply roofing products and their leading suppliers. ERA provides technical and research support to the public and the construction industry, and communicates the longstanding attributes, consistency and the value proposition of EPDM rubber membrane roofing materials.
