Advantages of Rubber Roofing
Resistant to Water
Flat roofs are renowned for water-related issues due to the lack of runoff. Whilst these issues can be minimised by adequate drainage, you must ensure your roofing material is able to handle standing water. Rubber roofing is designed for this exact application and will not degrade when regularly exposed to rainfall.
Resistant to UV
Ultraviolet light can cause some materials to blister, crack or discolour, resulting in an unsightly roof space that’s vulnerable to leaks. EPDM membranes are UV stable and can handle the harshness of UV throughout the year. Your flat roof will, therefore, maintain it's appearance and provide complete protection year-after-year.
Lightweight Solution
Flat roofs can often have a minimal timber frame, requiring a lightweight material to be used. Weighing between 1.5kg – 2kg per square meter (dependent upon thickness), rubber membranes are suitable for most projects. This includes small residential extensions and garden buildings, as well as large orangeries and commercial spaces.
Easy to Fit
Some flat roofing materials, such as liquid GRP, can be a hassle to fit due to them requiring a tradesperson or particular weather conditions. EPDM rubber, on the other hand, is typically supplied as a single, seam-free piece and is easily laid over your prepared flat roof. This is then accompanied by a few GRP kerbs to achieve a sleek and watertight finish.
