IS EPDM ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) membranes are incredibly environmentally friendly and offer a range of benefits for your flat roof. If you’re a homeowner in the UK looking to lead a sustainable, energy-efficient life, then rubber roofing is for you.

The International Kyoto Ecology Agreement recognises and recommends EPDM as the best value, sustainable, environmentally friendly roofing material available today.

Go Green

Popular roof membranes from brands such as FlexiProof One-PieceFlexiProof Fleece-Backed and Shed Rubber have several environmentally friendly benefits, including:

  • 100% Recyclable. Because the EPDM is made from rubber, the membrane sheet is 100% recyclable.

Furthermore, it’s becoming more common for Tyre Manufacturers to donate recycled tyres to create EPDM.

  • Durability. Unlike other roofing materials, a roof membrane can last over 50 years with little.

It has minimal maintenance throughout its lifetime. A ‘rubber’ flat roof doesn’t degrade, is extremely weatherproof and isn’t prone to moss or algae growing on it.

  • Fantastic Insulation. The rubber membrane used for an EPDM roof has desirable insulation properties.

This helps keep heat inside your home, meaning you can save money on your heating bills.

  • Recyclable rainwater. The membrane doesn’t pollute rainwater because of the rubber properties and surface.

This allows you to harvest and recycle rainwater, and with our range of drain products, you can step into a more sustainable lifestyle.
