Firestone EPDM Roofing Membranes offer unmatched resistance to ozone, UV radiation and high or low temperatures. They have a life expectancy of up to 50 years and come with a 20 year guarantee upon installation by us. Over a billion of square metres of roof installations worldwide are a testimony of Firestone EPDM roofing membrane’s proven performance.

Firestone EPDM roofing membranes are available in large, seamless sheets up to 6.10 metres in width. Most small residential roofs can therefore be covered with one single sheet without any field seaming.

Firestone EPDM roofing membranes require little to no maintenance after installation. This feature, in combination with the membranes inherent durability and competitive installation cost, results in a very low life cycle cost.

Firestone EPDM roofing membranes remain highly flexible even at low temperatures, enabling year round installation. The membrane can also elongate over 300% to accommodate building movements. Environmentally friendly Firestone RubberCover EPDM is an inert material with limited environmental impact, both during manufacture and installation. In addition, Firestone’s EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification for their environmental management system.

Over past years, most garage roofs have been fitted with timber decking and felt. Normally, over time the felt will split and leak and be overlayed with further layers of felt when repairs are carried out. The outlets may block up with debris causing standing water called ‘ponding’ which adds additional weight to your roof and will need addressing on roof replacement by using new timber firring pieces to enable the water to drain off the roof properly.

Flat roofs contract and expand when they heat up and cool down during the day and night. This is where felt roofs fail and split and begin to leak. If you look at the pictures below, you’ll see typical damage associated with a felt roof as it reaches its lifespan.

Modern flat roofs, especially EPDM are extremely flexible and elongate to over 300%. They are also hugely stable and have a proven lifespan of up to 50 years plus and come with a 20 year guarantee.
