ROOFING MEMBRANES & synthetic rubber roofing compounds for flat roofs outperform gravel roofing materials and make roof leak detection far easier. These roofing materials are basically seamless and fight UV damage. Used mostly commercially, flat roof membranes have many residential uses.
RUBBEROID Torch Membranes
Are tough, resilient modified membranes manufactured to stringent GAF Materials Corporation specifications. Their core is a strong, resilient, non-woven polyester mat that is coated with weather resistant, polymer-modified asphalt. "FR"-designated membranes are coated with an inherently fire retardant polymer-modified asphalt. RUBEROID torch-applied membranes are designed for new roofing and re-roofing applications as well as construction of flashings. They are also an ideal product for the repair of built-up roofing systems.
Cost effective - the installed cost of RUBEROID torch-applied membranes is less than most single-ply systems on the market today.
Resilient - special polyester mat core allows it to resist splits and tears due to its pliability and elongation characteristics.
Durable - specially formulated APP-modified asphalt gives RUBEROID torch-applied membranes lasting performance.

Peel & Stick
The Peel and Stick Sheet Membrane Waterproofing System consists of a 1.5 mm thick rubberized asphalt membrane which is laminated to high density 0.1 mm polyethylene film on the face and has a siliconised release sheet on the adhesive side.
As it is an Energy Smart Roof membrane it's highly reflective surface reduces solar heating of the roof and building envelope, reducing building cooling costs and reducing the urban heat island effect that is a contributor to smog formation.
The Peel and Stick Sheet Membrane Waterproofing System is suitable for a wide variety of applications such as waterproofing of below ground foundation walls, between the structural slab and wearing course on parking decks, plaza decks, terraces, balconies, and on spandrel beams. To provide complete waterproofing on wooden structures.
SEAMLESS - - Most residential flat roofs are straightforward rectangles. This means we can install a single sheet of EPDM rubber to cover your roof. This means you don't have to rely on seams to waterproof your roof.
LOW COST & ECO FRIENDLY - The installed price of your roof will probably be similar to that of a quality felt roof and significantly lower than other "newer" systems. So you can have a flat roof to rely on at a fair price and also be very "green". The conclusion of a report by ACTAC (the Association of Community Technical Aid Centres Ltd) named EPDM as the ‘best buy’ roofing membrane due to its’ low environmental impact in comparison to other membranes, high durability and re-usability.
LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS - There should be no reason to maintain an EPDM Rubber roof. So long as the deck can withstand more weight you can even use an EPDM Rubber roof as a garden or you can install paving or decking over it. All you will have to do is wipe clean the edge trims now and again.
NEVER PERISHES AND REMAINS FLEXIBLE - EPDM Rubber is UV and ozone stable so it never perishes. It stays flexible and so can move with the building unlike static installation systems.
SUCCESSFUL IN VERY COLD AND HOT CLIMATES
EPDM rubber is installed successfully in all areas of the world.
Flat-Torch On
EPDM and CSPE
Successfully installed for over 40 years, EPDM is the worlds most used single ply roofing membrane. Over One Billion Square Meters of Firestone EPDM has been successfully installed, and is a testimony of pure excellence.
These membranes have many uses in residential work. You can use them on shed roofs that commonly have low slopes or on a certain style house with a dormer. There are many older houses that have low sloped worn out tin roofs. The membranes are far cheaper to install than replacing with tin or copper!
