What Is the RubberBond EPDM System?

RubberBond is a premium EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) flat roofing system designed for exceptional durability, weather resistance and long-term performance. Manufactured in the USA and widely trusted across the UK, RubberBond EPDM is one of the highest-quality single-ply membranes available for domestic, commercial and industrial flat roofs.

Unlike traditional felt or bitumen, RubberBond offers a seamless, highly flexible membrane that is engineered to last for decades with minimal maintenance. It is installed using a cold-application process — meaning no flames, no hot works, and a cleaner, safer installation.

Key Benefits of RubberBond EPDM

Long-lasting durability

With an expected lifespan of over 50 years, RubberBond is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, UV exposure and constant weathering without cracking, shrinking or splitting.

Seamless, watertight protection

EPDM sheets come in large, continuous sections, meaning fewer joints and seams. This significantly reduces the risk of leaks, even on complex roof shapes.

Compatible with most roof types

RubberBond can be installed over many existing flat roof surfaces (subject to inspection), making it an excellent choice for refurbishments, extensions and new installations.

Low-maintenance solution

Once installed, EPDM requires very little upkeep. It does not blister, rot, absorb water or suffer from heat movement issues that can affect other materials.

Environmentally friendly

RubberBond is an eco-conscious choice:

  • Fully recyclable
  • Low energy manufacturing process
  • Extremely long service life (reduces waste)
