Product Specification
The rubber solution for
your flat roof replaces out of date felt systems
Firestone EPDM is a high performing synthetic rubber membrane offering a long-term
durability and a quality solution for any type of flat or gently sloping roof
surface including; core buildings, extensions, verandas, garages, carports. The main component of
a Firestone Rubbergard
Roof System is EPDM,
a single-ply synthetic
rubber membrane made
of ethylene propylene
diene monomer, mixed
with carbon black,
oils, curing agents
and processing aids.
It is calendered
into large sheets
and vulcanized. The
EPDM membrane is
fully adhered or
mechanically fixed
to an acceptable substrate
using Firestone Bonding
Adhesive.
The first Firestone EPDM
roof was installed in Wisconsin,
USA in 1980 and still remains
in service today. Since
then, over 1,000,000,000m2
of Firestone EPDM membranes
have been successfully
installed on commercial
and domestic rooftops worldwide,
from the cold climates
of Alaska to the desert
sun of the Arabian Gulf.
We are an approved and
fully trained installer
for Firestone EPDM Rubbergard
roofing solutions. All
work is carried out by
fully trained, skilled
craftsmen and does not
require the use of any
boiling tar or heat work.
Single Ply Firestone Rubbergard
Roofing systems are issued
with a 20 year material
and labour guarantee.
 
Features and Benefits
Quick Cover Installation
Firestone EPDM is available in panel sizes up to 12.2m in width and 30.5 in
length, resulting in fewer field seams and less roof exposure time. A panel
is cut specifically for your roof from a main sheet.
Superior Weatherability
and Durability
Due to its composition, essentially carbon black and EPDM polymers, Firestone
EPDM offers unmatched resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and ultimately ageing.
High Flexibility and Elongation
Firestone EPDM remains flexible at temperatures up to -45degreesC and can elongate
over 300% to accommodate building movements and temperature fluctuations.
Low Life-Cycle Cost
Firestone EPDM requires little to no maintenance. This feature combined with
the inherent durability and competitive installed cost of EPDM roofing systems,
result in a very low life-cycle cost.
Environmentally Friendly
Firestone EPDM is an inert material with limited environmental impact during
manufacture and use of the product.
Firestone
EPDM is our recommended Solution for
Flat Roof Problems
