Firestone RubberCover Roofing System

EPDM Rubber for your flat roof

Proven over more than 40 years - You can rely on an EPDM Rubber roof because it's been installed successfully in the USA over more than 40 years, unlike many other "newer" materials to the UK. Globally, EPDM is the world's most used single ply roofing membrane. Over One Billion Square Meters of Firestone EPDM has been successfully installed, and is a testimony of pure excellence.

Seamless - Completely reliable - Most residential flat roofs are straightforward rectangles. This means we can install a single sheet of EPDM rubber to cover your roof. This means you don't have to rely on seams to waterproof your roof. Sheet sizes can be up to 15m x 30m long.

Low cost best material and eco friendly too - The installed price of your roof will probably be similar to that of a quality felt roof and significantly lower than other "newer" systems. So you can have a flat roof to rely on at a fair price and also be very "green". For example, 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 envronmental impact in comparison to other membranes, 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. Firestone Building Products' commitment to the environment is reflected in the ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System implemented at all of our EPDM manufacturing plants.

Very low maintenance costs - There should be no reason to maintain an EPDM Rubber roof. So long as the deck can withstand more weight you can even use an EPDM Rubber roof as a garden or you can install paving or decking over it. All you will have to do is wipe clean the edge trims now and again.

Never perishes and remains flexible - EPDM Rubber is UV and ozone stable so it never perishes. It stays flexible and so can move with the building unlike static installation systems.

Successful in very cold and hot climates - EPDM Rubber is installed successfully in Alaska and in the Middle East. So UK weather is never a problem!

Very Safe Installation - Because installation is a cold lay technique there is no requirement for any heat.

Overlay = Saved Money - You don't have to remove your old roof. EPDM Rubber can overlay virtually any old roof so long as your roof decking and joists are sound. This saves you money and saves the environment by reducing debris from the work. See our installation guide.
