Thankfully today there are a number of different roofing systems that are cost effective and efficient; one of the most popular flat roofing systems that are used is EPDM roofing. This rubber comes in single ply sheets and is applied directly to the roof; the membrane of the rubber is vapour permeable which means blisters will not form.
