Benefits of the RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM

The majority of property owners with flat roof on their houses, roof extensions, garage roofs, commercial flat roofs and new build properties, all see a wide range of products for roofs. These range from felt flat roofs, Glassfibre GRP flat roofs, EPDM membranes and PVC/TPO flat roofs.

There are two main EPDM rubber roofing manufacturers Carlisle-Syntec and Firestone. Flex-R are the exclusive distributers for Carlisle-Syntec EPDM waterproofing in the UK and Ireland.

• RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM VS Standard EPDM
• RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM VS Three-ply (FELT)
• RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM VS Fibreglass (GRP)
• RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM VS PVC
• RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM VS TPO

INSTALLATION

• No torches or asphalt are required, making installation safer
• Less weight on your roof than mod-bit 2-ply systems
• Larger rolls mean fewer seams, allowing for quicker installation
• Faster installation means less disruption for building occupants
• Year round application

QUALITY

• EPDM is made from engineered polymers rather than leftover by-products
• Because EPDM is a single ply membrane, there is no concern with interply blisters
• The embodied energy (energy used to manufacture or mine the building components, and the energy used during building) is substantially less with EPDM roofing

PERFORMANCE

• After 50 years of empirical experience in field applications, EPDM has the roofing industry's longest average service life, thanks to:
• Greater resistance to ponding water, hail, UV damage and cyclical membrane fatigue
• High resistance to ozone, weathering and abrasion
• Flexibility in low temperatures
• Superior resistance to extreme heat and fire
• Thermal shock durability
• Restoration friendly
• It is easier to install new roof penetrations at a later date
• Recyclable
