Firestone’s EPDM synthetic rubber membrane has been growing in popularity for flat roofing for two decades and is proving to be the roofing industry’s most innovative, sustainable solution to cover flat roof installations.

What is EPDM?

EPDM is the industry-accepted abbreviated term for Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Terpolymer. It is a flexible synthetic rubber roofing membrane, manufactured in the US by Firestone and has a proven track record of high performance in both commercial and domestic flat roofing installations all over the world.

This high performing membrane is suitable for:

  • Flat roof extensions
  • Shed roofing
  • Garage roofing
  • Green roof projects

EPDM and the environment

The roofing industry has been looking at this revolutionary membrane as a viable replacement for outdated felt roofing. For a long time, roofers have felt that there must be a sustainable solution to traditional flat roofing methods. And now EPDM looks like it may be the very thing they have been looking for.

A single-ply, 100% cured inert roofing membrane, it has a unique composition that has limited impact on the environment during manufacture and use. It has a surprising life expectancy of more than 50 years if installed correctly.

As environmental concerns rise around the world, more homeowners and businesses are gaining a greater awareness about sustainable buildings and materials. Firestone EPDM is bringing sustainability closer to the roofing sector.
