When you’re installing a long-lasting roofing system, such as EPDM, it is important to use a high quality adhesive to ensure you get the best from the system. Poor quality adhesive is likely to create patchy adhesion and shorten the service life of the membrane. We stock a range of PermaRoof and Elevate roofing adhesives, especially formulated for EPDM.
Elevate is a leading BREEAM & LEED advocate and is pleased to offer RubberGard EPDM, which helps achieve both program’s highest ratings. RubberGard EPDM roofing systems play a key role in the Green Building Rating Systems that promote responsible design and sustainable construction. For an overview of the standards set by both BREEAM & LEED and how RubberGard EPDM can minimize your environmental impact and maximize
In the case of green roofs, resistance to root penetration, and robustness to cope with roof traffic associated with maintenance is crucial. RubberGard EPDM is an ideal product for a green or living roof. RubberGard EPDM membrane has successfully passed various tests of root resistance (DIN 4062, CEN/TS 14416: 2005, EN 13948, FLL). For more details about design and installation requirements, please contact Elevate Technical Services.
Installing solar panels on roofs is a green initiative that contributes to the sustainability of the building and its value while in parallel improves its energy efficiency. The investment horizon is typically based on 20 to 25 years of financial projection. Thus, the roofing system must be able to support the installation of the solar panels for at least that period, to maximize returns. Solar panels
RubberGard EPDM is the best roofing solution for renovations. Unlike other roofing membranes where there are limitations with compatibility, applicability, and product weight, RubberGard EPDM can be applied on top of all existing roofing systems, whether it is a bituminous roof (with several layers) or a single-ply membrane.
RubberGard EPDM is easy to install. It is available in large seamless sheets up to 15.25 m wide and 61 m long (930 m²), resulting in fewer field seams for large surfaces and short installation times (typically 6.10 x 30.5 m panels used). Additionally, Elevate’s QuickSeam Tape technology provides a proven field seaming solution without requiring special tools. Unlike other waterproofing membranes, the RubberGard EPDM membrane
Lightweight construction is becoming a new trend in the market, and RubberGard EPDM fully supports such applications. Compared to other traditional waterproofing materials that come in multi-layers, RubberGard EPDM is a single-ply, thin, and lightweight membrane.
The most sustainable roof is a durable roof which uses the least amount of natural resources. Greenpeace, GreenTeam, and NIBE put forward EPDM as the roofing membrane with the least environmental impact. All in all, choosing RubberGard EPDM is an easy way towards making significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. It offers a durable, long-term, roofing solution that helps promote efficient and sustainable building
Top quality, versatility, freedom of design, and sustainability are Elevate’s RubberGard EPDM key benefits. RubberGard EPDM is a flexible membrane and keeps this flexibility even at low temperatures (-45°C). It has excellent lay-flat characteristics and adapts and conforms to irregular shapes very quickly. It follows the geometry of the supports and accepts their various expansions or retractions due to climatic variations without ever saturating or breaking.
