EPDM Roofing Systems
EPDM roofing is a substantial rubber membrane which is a very hard wearing and durable type of flat roofing systems. It is fitted without the need for heating, making it safe and simple to install. Its properties enable it to resist severe cold and extremely high temperatures. It can be walked on without causing any damage. All this giving you the confidence that you have an excellent enduring roofing system, with some early customers still enjoying a trouble free roof after 50 years.
Traditional roofing systems need to be heated for installation. This can be hazardous for both the roof contractors and the customer. The odour of the burning tar can be overpowering. But with the EPDM, this is not an issue. The process of installing the membrane is safe and environmentally friendly.
The rubber membrane is dense and tough and is resilient to all the climatic conditions in the UK. We tend to relate roofing issues to rain, but wind and extremely hot weather can also contribute to cracks and tears. These conditions can stretch, distort and split the roofing material and then rain will seep through the gaps. Once this happens, the situation will inevitably deteriorate.
Birds scratching, debris such as tiles or branches landing on the roof and people walking on it can be other causes of damage. But with EPDM roofing systems, none of these problems will occur. The material is strong and robust made from extremely tough rubber material. Birds cannot penetrate the surface and tree debris will not cause the material to tear.
The manufacturers are so confident that you will be delighted with your new EPDM roofing system that they offer a guarantee against any leaks or associated problems. Flat roofs have, traditionally, been problematic and have required frequent replacement or repair. However, now there are EPDM roofing systems to give your years of worry free roofing, so you can spend your money on nicer things.
EPDM roofing from ClassicBond.co.uk provides a lifetime of leak free roofing and is especially well suited to flat roof extensions and other flat roof buildings.
