EPDM technology

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber membrane developed for roofing applications in the 1960s. Decades of field performance demonstrate exceptional reliability and longevity.
EPDM roofing is well suited to both domestic and commercial flat roofs where durability and sustainability are priorities.

Why EPDM outperforms traditional felt

  • Longevity comparison – EPDM typically lasts 40-50 years versus 10-20 years for felt systems. Over a building’s lifecycle, EPDM often proves more cost-effective despite higher initial investment.
  • Maintenance requirements – EPDM needs minimal attention beyond keeping drainage clear. Felt requires more frequent inspection and often needs protective coatings or repairs within 10-15 years.
  • Weather resistance – EPDM’s inherent UV resistance prevents the deterioration that affects felt membranes. No surface coating required for protection.

    Temperature tolerance – EPDM remains flexible in all UK weather conditions. Felt can become brittle in cold weather and soften excessively in heat.

  • Installation safety – Flame-free installation eliminates hot works permits, fire watch requirements and associated risks.
  • Environmental impact – EPDM’s long service life reduces replacement frequency. Recyclability at end-of-life and non-toxic composition make it environmentally preferable.

 

Applications and suitability

EPDM suits diverse applications:

Residential – Extensions, garages, dormers, garden buildings.
Commercial – Offices, warehouses, retail units, schools.
Industrial – Factories, workshops, storage facilities.
Agricultural – Barns, stables, storage buildings.

EPDM is particularly appropriate where:

  • Maximum lifespan is required
  • Minimal ongoing maintenance is desired
  • Flame-free installation is mandated
  • Environmental performance matters
  • Budget allows for long-term value investment
