EPDM ROOFING MEMBRANE
RubberGard EPDM is a synthetic rubber single-ply waterproofing membrane for flat and low slope roofs of commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
The installation of RubberGard EPDM is flame-free, making onsite working conditions safer. Being a single-ply membrane, it offers a lightweight roofing solution that is quick and easy to install.
Quick and easy installation
The RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane is easy to install. It is available in large seamless sheets up to 15.25 m wide x 61 m long (930 m²), resulting in fewer field seams needed for large surfaces and a shorter installation time. Elevate's QuickSeam tape technology offers a proven field seaming solution without requiring sophisticated or costly equipment.
High flexibility and elongation
RubberGard EPDM remains highly flexible, even at temperatures as low as -45°C, enabling year-round installation. The membrane can also elongate over 300% to accommodate building movements and temperature fluctuations.
Suitable for green* and solar roofs
Having successfully passed the EN 1394 test for resistance to root penetration on extensive green roofs, the RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane is ideal for extensive green roof systems that use lightweight, low-maintenance sedum vegetation. You can also easily combine RubberGard EDPM with any type of PV (photovoltaic) installation thanks to its high-temperature resistance and wear and tear resistance.
*Green roofs as defined by the World Green Infrastructure Network (https://worldgreeninfrastructurenetwork.org)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROOFING SYSTEM
Are you planning to install a new roof or refurbish an existing roof? Do you want an accessible or non-accessible roof, a green roof, a roof with solar panels, a blue roof…? RubberGard EPDM roofing systems offer a variety of installation options to best meet the requirements of your project.
- MECHANICALLY ATTACHED (RMA) SYSTEM
Lightweight, non-penetrating mechanically attached system developed around Elevate’s QuickSeam RMA strip. The QuickSeam RMA strips are laid over the substrate and mechanically secured to the roof deck. The membrane is then adhered to these self-adhesive strips.
- FULLY ADHERED SYSTEM
The membrane is fully adhered directly to the substrate using Elevate bonding adhesive.
- BALLASTED SYSTEM
The membrane is loosely laid over the substrate and held in place using approved ballast.
