EPDM is a rubber compound used predominately in flat roofing

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing enjoys the one of the largest shares of the
commercial and domestic roofing market.

  • usually installed as a single sheet with no joins means waterproof

  •  up to 30 year warranty available and >50year life expectancy

Long term dependability, weatherability, and durability are among the primary factors
contributing to the demand for EPDM roofs.

Today, this technically advanced product is quickly becoming the product of choice in
residential and light commercial roofing applications.

Rubber roofing, used commercially for many years, is now finding its way onto more and
more residential projects. Properly installed, a rubber roof can solve even the most difficult
flashing details.

There are many reasons why  EPDM membrane should be your choice for flat or low sloping
roofing projects.

Over 40 Years of Proven Field Performance.

One of the first commercial EPDM roofs was installed in the early 1960s and EPDM roofs
represent more than 1/3 of all flat and low sloping commercial roofing installations today.

Flexibility.

Unlike conventional Asphalt roofing, there is no stress failure from structural movement due to
the minimum 300% elongation of EPDM.

Withstands Temperature Extremes

EPDM membrane will not split, crack or rupture due to extreme temperature fluctuations. It
has a flexibility range of -59degrees Centigrade to 149 degrees centigrade.

Few or No Joints.

A commercial or residential EPDM membrane installation will contain few (if any) joints. Due
to the wide range of sheet sizes most flat roof applications can be installed in one piece.
Any membrane joints that are necessary are installed using Rubberall® Seam Tape that is
proven to perform over time with no maintenance.

Fast, Safe Installation.

EPDM roofing systems can be installed on new constructions and refurbishment projects
without disruptive activities in the building. Unlike Asphalt products, an open flame from a
torch is never used when installing Rubberall® EPDM membrane as it is all cold applied.

Weatherproof.

EPDM membrane shows little or no effect from sun, rain, ice or snow.

Minimal Maintenance.

Joint/Seam integrity is not an issue, if repairs become necessary they are easy to rectify even
years after installation. Coatings are not necessary due to EPDM membrane’s high resistance
to ultra violet rays and ozone.
