Made by the world’s largest EPDM manufacturer, Firestone, this RubberCover Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Rubber Roofing Membrane provides a safe and heat-free application with excellent durability and a life expectancy of more than 50 years.
When installing rubber membrane on the roof, it is recommended to allow up to 200mm on either side for walls and overhangs. Additional rubber membrane may be needed for under tiles and other features.
Question:
with the sheet being black does it get very hot in the sun? and can it be covered withsomething to prevent this?
Answer:
The Firestone RubberCover 1.1mm EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane, being black, may indeed absorb sunlight and heat up. However, it's designed to withstand various weather conditions, including intense sun exposure, without its performance or durability being affected. The EPDM flat roof membranes have a life expectancy of at least 50 years. If you're concerned about the heat, it's possible to apply a roof coating that reflects sunlight, which can help to lower the surface temperature of the membrane. However, this should be done in consultation with a roofing professional to ensure the coating is compatible with the EPDM membrane and applied correctly.
Question:
how do you install. it ? nails or glue ?
Answer:
The Firestone RubberCover EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane is typically installed using adhesive, not nails. A special adhesive is used to secure the membrane to the roof surface, ensuring a tight and waterproof seal. For more specific installation instructions, I recommend referring to our Technical Information document which provides detailed guidelines. You can access it here. Please note that installation should always be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the best results.
