The RubberBond™ FleeceBack™ EPDM Rubber Roofing
System is one of the toughest materials known for resistance
to weather wind and sun. It is a rubber roofing system that
is designed and proven to outlast conventional flat roofing
materials.
Through patented technology, a non-woven polyester
fleece is laminated to the underside of the standard RubberBond™
EPDM making FleeceBack™ a more substantial and stronger
EPDM product. This makes it an extremely durable rubber
roofing material that is:
Over twice the thickness
of standard EPDM
• 180% plus greater tear resistance*
• 60% plus greater impact resistance*
• There is no shrinkage or stress to cause leaks
at flashings, upstands or other penetrations.
• *Greater than standard 1.14mm-thick EPDM
The first synthetic rubber EPDM roofs were laid in the
States by Carlisle™ Syntec in the 1960’S and
are still protecting these roofs today.
Well known buildings rely on their EPDM rubber roofing
such as Honda factories, Microsoft, Staples, Barclaycard,
The Play House Theatre, schools, shopping centres, railway
stations, hospitals and hundreds of thousands more commercial
and residential properties.
RubberBond™ FleeceBack™ is not affected
by extremes of temperature. Installations are in varied
climates - from the glaring sun of the Middle East to
the freezing cold of Siberia and Alaska.
RubberBond™ rubber roofing is not degraded by
ultra violet or ozone as again witnessed by the many
installations in hotter climates such as the Middle
East.
• The colour of a dark grey slate looks natural
and doesn’t easily show dirt.
•
The smooth synthetic rubber finish does not require ballast
or chippings that have an annoying habit of blocking gutters
and downpipes.
• RubberBond™ does
not support moss growth. It not only looks good on day
one but also stays looking good even after 30+ years...
• The additional thickness of FleeceBack™
helps to hide the negative of the existing deck or finish.
RubberBond™ easily bends with no stress, to follow
the contours of the roof, up stands to walls, check curb
edges, sky lights, pipes, terminations into gutters and
the like.
RubberBond has over 300% flexibility so will easily
accommodate building movement.
RubberBond™ FleeceBack™ rubber roofing repels
all moisture and does not suffer with age from cracking
or crazing.
RubberBond™ FleeceBack™ “breathes”
allowing vapours to escape, thus preventing blisters.
Extremely ECO friendly materials all applied with little
energy – Both Government and the International Kyoto
Ecology agreement recommend EPDM rubber as Best Value
sustainable eco-sound roofing.
The RubberBond™ rubber roofing system holds British
Board of Agrément certification No 02/3967 BBA
– is designated by government to issue European
technical approvals.
