EPDM Roofing: the ideal roof membrane for flat roof and lot pitched roofs

Due to its unique product properties, EPDM roof membranes are extensively used as the roofing solution for flat and low pitched roofs. EPDM is the synthetic version of a natural rubber, and as such, has unique properties. The three most important characteristics of EDPM are: a proven lifetime of over 50 years, outstanding performance in the area of sustainability and the easy and safe installation process, without the use of open flame. EPDM membranes are naturally UV and ozone resistant, contain no plasticizers that leach out of the material, and as a result, remains permanently flexible.

These properties have led to EPDM membranes being seen as the ideal roofing system for flat and low pitched roofs, having been used for over 50 years worldwide. The last few years have seen exponential growth in market share.  This is simply due to the fact that the many advantages of EPDM roofing membranes are being made known to a wider audience. More and more professional installers and architects are advising the use of EPDM roofing systems.

The EPDM membranes that we manufacture are a so-called homogenous membrane; an elastomer membrane without reinforcement. We have been developing and manufacturing these EPDM membranes in house since the 1960’s. We were the first in Europe, and remain the only manufacturer of EPDM roofing systems and EPDM strips in the Benelux.
