Firestone EPDM FAQs

There is nothing we don’t know or recommend about this amazing roofing membrane.

The unique properties and compound manufacture of EPDM makes it the answer to sustainable flat roofing and the perfect, long-awaited alternative to traditional felt roofing. The ease of application makes it ideal for DIY installation and our complete flat roof kits – Permaroof-in-a-Box – have proved to be a great success in this market.

With the nationwide growing interest in green roofing, EPDM has proved to be a fantastic base membrane, particularly through its longevity and the one-piece adhesion, which eliminates any problems that would be caused ordinarily by vulnerable joins and seams.
