The benefits of EPDM for DIY flat roofs

EPDM flat roofing materials are a far cry from traditional flat roof products. Felt, tar paper and other bitumen-based systems are becoming less common as the benefits of EPDM membranes are realised.

Easy to apply

EPDM membranes are typically laid in a single sheet for most domestic projects. This is ideal for DIY installation, as there are no joins to worry about.

Basic tools

For preparation of the roof and application of the new membrane, just a few simple tools are required. A domestic brush, rollers or pad to apply adhesive and penny rollers to help with the edges.

Cold-applied adhesive

EPDM membranes are adhered with a cold system using water-based adhesives and bonding adhesive. Traditional methods often require the use of hot substances or tools for application and this is a big advantage for the EPDM system for DIY use.
