The rubber roof EPDM membrane is sold by the running metre from large pre-joined sheets starting at 0.5m in width and increasing in 0.5m increments up to 30.5 metres in length, by 15.25 metres in width. This means no on-site joining is required as long as the roof does not exceed these measurements and makes the ClassicBond EPDM the best for quick and easy installation.

ClassicBond is available in two thickness’s 1.2mm (Standard) and 1.52mm (Commercial)

As EPDM is not affected by extremes of temperature the membrane will not crack, peel or split.

What is The Life Expectancy of EPDM rubber roofs.

EPDM Rubber roofs have a 50 year life expectancy.

EPDM has been in commercial use since the 1960s. And many of those roofs are still around today.

Will my EPDM Membrane have a Join

All membranes do have manufactures joins as supplied to us. Depending on the spacing of the joins and the size of the piece being cut off the roll sometimes there is no manufacturers join in the membrane.

All EPDM membranes whether it is Firestone, ClassicBond or SKYGUARD have these joins and they are unavoidable, however, the big advantage is that it is supplied to you in one piece as our website states which means you don't have to do any onsite joins where workmanship could be a factor.

My roof has a small hole which is causing a leak, how easy is it to repair this?

One of the most evident benefits of EPDM rubber roofing is that it can be repaired very quickly and easily, allowing you to catch a problem before it turns into something much bigger!

Can EPDM withstand hard impacts from outside conditions? Such as branches falling on it or a bird pecking on it?

Along with a life expectancy of 50 years and beyond, EPDM rubber can stand up to quite some force from outside elements, in our video below we explore what different objects falling on the rubber will do to it and how much damage it takes to actually penetrate the membrane! Prepare to be surprised!

Why have bubbles appeared on the edge of my newly laid EPDM rubber roof?

Occasionally, bubbles and blisters can appear around the perimeter of the EPDM rubber roof just after it's been fitted. There are a few reasons why this can happen, the Contact Adhesive could have been applied too thick, or if it has not been allowed enough time to properly tack-off. Luckily we can share a few tips to help avoid this potential problem, check our video for an in-depth explanation.

Is it safe to walk on an EPDM rubber roof

EPDM rubber membrane is an extremely tough material that will easily handle light foot traffic, such as when it's being installed. However, it is important to make sure no sharp objects are introduced onto the membrane from boots or tools, check our video for a proper explanation of how to make sure you don't set a foot wrong

How can I tell which way up the membrane is supposed to be?

Whilst EPDM rubber membrane has no right side up, you will notice only one side has writing on it, this is from the manufacturer and has some information about the rubber. You can lay this side down to the decking for a cleaner looking finish, this can be useful if the roof can be seen from a window for example.

Which Thickness of rubber roofing membrane should I buy? (1.2mm or 1.5mm)

Both the 1.2mm and 1.5mm EPDM rubber membranes are perfect for residential and commercial projects alike. 1.2mm membrane is a trusted product by our roofing customers and our most popular item for a good reason. 1.5mm membrane tends to lay a little easier due to the thickness and can also provide a smoother looking finished flat roof. We would recommend 1.5mm if there is going to be anything overlayed on top of the rubber like decking, screed and tiles or even a green roof.

How should I store my rubber roof kit?

If its going to be a few weeks before you fit the roof, we would suggest unrolling the membrane and re-rolling it longways, this will help prevent any creases forming. The adhesives and trims need to be stored indoors before fitting, rather than leaving them outside, as they can be affected by temperature fluctuations. Check out our video below for a full explanation from Sam!
