Rubberall® Roofing uses EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene
Monomer) rubber roofing technology that has been the choice of
larger roofing contractors for flat roofing and low slope roofing
applications for over thirty years.
Single-ply roofing enjoys the largest share of the commercial and industrial
roofing market. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is by far and away
the most popular single-ply product used in commercial roofing. Long term
dependability, weatherability, and durability are among the primary factors
contributing to the demand for EPDM roofs.
Today, this technically advanced product is quickly becoming the product
of choice in residential and light commercial roofing applications.
Rubber
roofing, used commercially for many years, is now finding its way
onto more and more residential projects. Properly
installed, a rubber roof can solve even the most difficult flashing
details.

Rubberall® Membrane Qualities
There are many reasons why Rubberall® EPDM membrane should be your
choice for flat or low sloping roofing projects.
Over 40 Years of Proven Field Performance.
One of the first commercial EPDM roofs was installed in the early 1960s
and EPDM roofs represent more than 1/3 of all flat and low
sloping commercial roofing installations today.
Flexibility.
Unlike conventional Asphalt roofing, there is no stress failure from
structural movement due to the minimum 300% elongation of EPDM.
Withstands Temperature Extremes.
Rubberall® EPDM membrane will not split, crack or rupture due to
extreme temperature fluctuations. It has a flexibility range
of -59degrees Centigrade to 149 degrees centigrade.
Few or No Joints.
A commercial or residential Rubberall® EPDM membrane installation
will contain few (if any) joints. Due to the wide range of sheet sizes
most applications can be installed in one piece. Any membrane joints
that are necessary are installed using Rubberall® Seam Tape that
is proven to perform over time with no maintenance.
Fast, Safe Installation.
Rubberall® EPDM roofing
systems can be installed on new constructions and Refurb projects without
disruptive activities in the building. Unlike Asphalt products, an open
flame from a torch is never used when installing Rubberall® EPDM
membrane as it is all cold applied.
Weatherproof.
Rubberall® EPDM
membrane shows little or no effect from sun, rain, ice or snow.
Minimal Maintenance.
Joint/Seam integrity is not an issue, if repairs became necessary they
are easy to rectify even years after installation. Coatings are not necessary
due to Rubberall® EPDM membrane’s high resistance to ultra
violet rays and ozone.
Warranties.
Rubberall® EPDM
membrane is the only membrane offered with a FREE twenty (20)
and thirty (30) year transferable material warranty using 1.14mm (.045
inch) and 1.52mm (.060inch) membrane respectively in roofing applications.
As is customary in roofing applications, the installing contractor may
commit to insuring there are no leaks due to poor workmanship for some
period of time after installation.
If your goal is to "KEEP THE WATER OUT" Rubberall® membrane
is the product for you.
Rubberall® EPDM is Environmentally Friendly.
The conclusion of a report by ACTAC (The Association of Community Technical Aid Centres Ltd) named EPDM as the “Best Buy” roofing membrane due to its low environmental impact in comparison to other membranes due to its high durability and re-usability.
The findings of this report are published in the “Green Building Digest” Issue
14. For further reference, the Greenpeace publication “Building The Future” names
EPDM as the environmentally friendly choice for roofing membranes.
