Rubber Roofs Manchester
EPDM rubber membrane flat roofing flexible, UV-resistant and ideal for larger flat roofs across Manchester.
Flexibility that lasts.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing is a single-ply membrane that offers outstanding durability and flexibility. It copes exceptionally well with temperature changes and thermal movement, making it the ideal choice for larger flat roofs where expansion and contraction are a factor.
A properly installed EPDM roof typically lasts 20-25 years.

Engineered for the elements.
Flexible and resilient
EPDM rubber remains flexible across a wide temperature range, accommodating the thermal movement that occurs on larger flat roofs without splitting or cracking. This flexibility is one of the key reasons it outperforms older flat roof materials.
Unlike brittle materials that crack over time, EPDM moves with your roof season after season.
