  When you are looking for membranes for pond lining or roofing, you demand materials that have extraordinary water resistance. Among all the membranes like TPO, bituminous, and others, you should choose an EPDM membrane .  Well, an EPDM membrane sheet is not 100% waterproof, but it is the most effective barrier for waterproofing. Unveiling the Truth About the Waterproofing Properties of EPDM Membrane EPDM membrane is extremely non-porous in nature. As a result, it has a high water retention capacity.  The surface of the EPDM membrane sheeting is smooth and even. As a result, it prevents the accumulation of water and absorption.  Its molecular structure has dense cross-linking of monomers. Thus, water has negligible chances of penetrating through it. It is impermeable and does not allow water penetration.  An EPDM waterproofing membrane is puncture-resistant. Hence, it does not allow water leakage easily, even in the presence of sharp objects. It works as an eff...
