RUBBERALL® Membrane Qualities
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing technology
has been the choice of larger roofing contractors for low slope
roofing applications for over thirty years. Until recently, getting
that EPDM membrane proved difficult for the smaller contractor. Water Tight Technologies is making available this
proven EPDM roofing technology to the residential and light commercial
contractor by offering RUBBERALL® membrane through
your local lumberyard.
There are many reasons why RUBBERALL® membrane should be
your choice for the low slope (3 in 12 or less) roofing project:
- Over 30 Years of Proven Field Performance. One of the
first commercial EPDM roofs was installed in in the early 1960s.
EPDM roofs represent more than 1/3 of all low slope, commercial
roofing installations, today.
- Flexibility. Unlike conventional asphalt roofing,
there is no stress failure from structural movement due to the minimum 300%
elongation of EPD
- Withstands Temperature Extremes. The RUBBERALL® membrane will not split, crack or rupture due to extreme temperature
fluctuations. It has a flexibility range of -75 degrees Fahrenheit
to temperatures up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Few Seams. Traditional low slope roof installations typically
fail using shingles or granulated rolled roofing because of seam
integrity. Ice and water easily back-up under conventional shingles
in low slope applications. Rolled roofing has a seam every 36
inches that requires constant maintenance. A residential RUBBERALL® membrane installation will contain few (if any) seams. Those membrane
seams that are present are installed using RUBBERALL® Seam Tape that is proven to perform over time with no maintenance.
- Fast, Safe Installation. Our RUBBERALL® roofing systems can be installed on new construction and retrofit
projects without disruptive activities in the building. Unlike
some rolled asphalt products, an open flame from a torch is never
used when installing RUBBERALL® membrane.
- Weatherproof. Our RUBBERALL® membrane shows little
or no effect from sun, rain, hail, ice or snow
- Minimal Maintenance. Seam integrity is not an issue. Repairs are made
easily even years after installation. Coatings are never needed,
due to RUBBERALL® membrane's high resistance
to ultra violet rays and the ozone.
- Reflectivity. RUBBERALL® membrane may be coated
with approved coatings to increased reflectivity. NOTE: Unapproved
coatings will void the warranty.
- Warranties. RUBBERALL® membrane
from Water Tight Technologies, LLC is the only membrane offered
with a FREE twenty (20) and thirty (30) year transferable material
warranty using .045 inches and .060 inches membrane respectively
in a residential application. As is customary
in residential roofing, the installing contractor may commit to
insuring there are no leaks due to workmanship for some period
of time after installation.
IF YOUR GOAL IS TO "KEEP THE WATER OUT" RUBBERALL® MEMBRANE BY WATER TIGHT TECHNOLOGIES IS THE PRODUCT FOR YOU.
