EPDM - Highly flexible,
weather-resistant,
and virtually maintenance-free
EPDM rubber roofing membrane designed to deliver long-lasting protection for flat and low-pitched roofs. Unlike traditional felt, EPDM comes in large seamless sheets, which greatly reduces the risk of leaks. It’s incredibly durable, UV-resistant, and can withstand extreme weather conditions without cracking, shrinking, or becoming brittle.
One of its biggest advantages is flexibility — EPDM easily adapts to the shape of your roof, no matter how simple or complex. Lightweight and environmentally friendly, it also requires very little maintenance once installed, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run. With a proven long life expectancy, Elevate RubberCover gives homeowners and businesses complete peace of mind.
At ACE Flat Roofs & Carpentry, we supply and install EPDM rubber roofing membrane roofs in Monaghan, Louth, Cavan, Dublin, Carrickmacross, Dundalk, Drogheda and Kingscourt. Using a cold applied seam process your roof is protected by the Elevate RubberCover (formally Firestone) premium brand.
