Superior durability and longevity
Total peace of mind for a very long time, that is what the RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane has to offer. Properly formulated EPDM membranes show an unmatched resistance to ozone, UV radiation and extreme temperatures. As they do not contain any plasticizers or flame retardants, their characteristics remain stable and unchanged over time. Studies show that EPDM roofing membranes have a life expectancy of more than 50 years.
Quick and easy installation
The RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane is easy to install. It is available in large seamless sheets up to 15.25 m wide x 61 m long (930 m²), resulting in fewer field seams needed for large surfaces and a shorter installation time. Firestone's QuickSeam tape technology offers a proven field seaming solution without requiring sophisticated or costly equipment.
High flexibility and elongation
RubberGard EPDM remains highly flexible, even at temperatures as low as -45°C, enabling year-round installation. The membrane can also elongate over 300% to accommodate building movements and temperature fluctuations.
Low-life cycle cost
RubberGard EPDM requires little or no maintenance. If needed, it can be easily repaired using Firestone QuickSeam tape products, even after decades of service. This feature, combined with its inherent durability and competitive installation costs, result in a very low life-cycle cost.
Sustainable roofing solution
RubberGard EPDM supports your sustainable efforts. It is an inert material with a low environmental impact. No toxic substances are released during or after its installation, allowing the collection of run-off rainwater for domestic use. RubberGard EPDM can also be recycled and re-used. Firestone's EPDM manufacturing facilities have received the ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company's commitment to environmental management. Are you ready to reduce your footprint?
Compatible with green roofs and photovoltaic installations
Are you into green roofs and solar energy? Having successfully passed the EN 1394 test for resistance to root penetration on extensive green roofs, the RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane is ideal for extensive green roof systems that use lightweight, low maintenance sedum vegetation. You can also easily combine RuberGard EDPM with any type of PV (photovoltaic) installation thanks to its high temperature resistance, wear and tear resistance and unmatched life expectancy.
