EPDM rubber is perfectly suited for flat roofs thanks to its unrivalled water resistance and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. EPDM membranes can be installed onto a variety of structures ranging from low-pitch garage roofs to large industrial buildings.

Unlike common liquid-based alternatives, EPDM membranes are easy to fit, even if you’re doing it yourself. What’s more, they offer a superb lifespan of over 50 years if well looked after. This makes them ideal for homeowners that want peace of mind with minimal maintenance required.

Our wide range of EPDM membranes includes products from leading rubber manufacturers such as Classic Bond, Firestone, and Resitrix.

Uses for EPDM Membranes

EPDM rubber is an incredibly versatile material that can be used across a wide array of flat roofing applications. The most common of which are:

• Sheds or garden buildings
• Garages or house extensions
• As the waterproof membrane for green roofs
• Balcony extensions
• Commercial or agricultural buildings

Benefits of Rubber Roof Membranes

Water Resistance

These single-ply rubber membranes can be installed as one large piece, meaning there’ll be no seams on the roof’s surface. This will virtually eliminate the chance of nightmare leaks, one of most common causes of damage to flat roofs.

As these membranes are made from highly-advanced synthetic rubber, they’re incredible flexible and durable. This helps to prevent tears during or after installation, and provides additional protection from water damage.

UV Stable

Some roofing materials may blister or crack following exposure to ultraviolet light. You may also suffer the consequences of thermal movement, which can result in membranes becoming saggy and unsightly. 

The same cannot be said for an EPDM membrane, which is able to withstand continuous exposure to UV light without significant deterioration. This is particularly important in the UK, where heatwaves are becoming more common.

Lightweight

Rubber roof membranes weigh between 1.5kg and 2kg per square meter. This makes them ideal for almost any flat roof, whether it features a minimal timber frame or mighty steel supports. 

Its light weight makes EPDM rubber incredibly versatile, with uses ranging from large garden buildings to small residential garages. It also makes it far easier to fit by both handy homeowners and experienced tradespeople.
