With a wide range of roofing materials available today, many home and business owners have an extensive choice. Finding the best materials for your projects now requires some research and planning to ensure the best long term value. We’re here to help with expert advice to guide you through.

The benefits of EPDM

EPDM membranes offer a long lasting, low maintenance covering for domestic flat roofing. Delivering 100% waterproofing over an expected service life of 50 years, EPDM brings a sustainable approach with a cost effective outlook.

One-piece membrane = no joins
Accessories available

Comparing EPDM to felt

Felt has been a traditional roofing material for decades and can still be the first thought for many UK homeowners, especially when it comes to sheds and garage roofs. However, today’s modern single ply membranes are outperforming felt in almost every way.

EPDM has a life expectancy of over 50 years and is perfect for most domestic new build flat roofs to replace felt. Gone are the days when recovering a flat roof becomes an annual task. Now homeowners are becoming more environmentally aware, felt may soon become a rare sight on the UKs roofing.

Liquid roofing systems

Liquid roofing products are perfect for complex new roofing projects where membrane is difficult or impossible to install.

PermaRoof has developed a liquid PU system that brings flexibility and durability in a single coat. Applied with brushes and rollers, and containing a self-levelling compound, P100 has been developed with domestic projects in mind, for a faster, simpler way of waterproofing without overworking the product.

Liquid roofing is suitable for almost any substrate, ideal for a wide range of applications:

Concrete roofing
Green and other eco roof systems
Metal roof systems
Basement tanking and buried roofs
Anti-slip surfaces and car parking
Box gutter waterproofing
And much more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EPDM difficult to install?2022-11-23T18:34:42+00:00

EPDM roofing systems are perhaps one of the most straightforward to install on flat roofs. Membranes are installed typically in a single sheet, using water-based adhesives and few tools.

Simplified, accelerated installation makes flat roofing achievable for DIY and reduces labour time for trade roofers.

What plants do you use for a green roof?2022-11-23T18:33:36+00:00

The planting layer of a green roof can consist of a single species, such as sedum or a variety of succulents and suitable low-maintenance garden plants.

It is common for green roof plants to be installed using a series of ‘mats’ to ease planting and decision making. Talk to our green roof division for advice about selecting the components for your project – from the waterproofing to completion.

What is a warm roof?2022-11-23T18:32:54+00:00

A warm roof has the insulation attached to the decking and not between the rafters. In this type of breathable system, condensation can be minimised, and heat conserved within the property without additional ventilation.

In flat roofs, a warm roof construction can be achieved using PIR insulation boards above the roof deck and beneath the membrane.

How long does a rubber roof last?2023-09-21T13:43:26+00:00

A high quality rubber roof system such as EPDM can far outlast many other traditional roofing materials. RubberCover, for instance, has a service life expectancy of over 50 years.
