Why Choose Rubber Roof Membrane?
Rubber roofing is fast becoming the go-to membrane for trade and DIY roofing projects in the UK. The perfect alternative to felt, EPDM rubber offers a more permanent solution, with an average service life expectancy of 50 years
What are the biggest differences between rubber membrane and felt?
Unmatched life expectancy
​
Faster, safer installation
-
Rubber roof membranes offer a flame-free installation, unlike most bituminous felt systems. Cold applied with water-based adhesives, EPDM is faster and safer to install.
Kinder to the environment
​
-
Once felt and other types of roofing reach the end of a service life, it is typically stripped off and sent to landfill. EPDM rubber can be fully recycled at the end of a much longer lifespan.
Better cost efficiency
-
Because of the 50-plus-year lifespan, a good quality rubber roof membrane will far outlive a traditional felt-based system. Felt may last for 5-15 years, depending on the quality of both the material and installation. This means you’ll only pay once to waterproof most projects with EPDM, compared to several times with certain types of roofing felt.
