Product Details
The EPDM rubber roofing membrane is available for purchase by linear metre, sourced from extensive, pre-connected sheets.
These sheets are available starting from a minimum width of 0.5 meters and can be increased in increments of 0.5 meters, up to a maximum length of 30.5 meters and a width of 15.25 meters. This design eliminates the need for joining on the site for roofs within these dimensions, ensuring a swift and straightforward installation process.
ClassicBond EPDM comes in two different thickness options:
1.2mm (standard grade)
1.52mm (commercial grade)
FAQs:
Is It Safe To Walk on An EPDM Rubber Roof?
The EPDM rubber membrane is remarkably resilient, capable of withstanding moderate pedestrian activity, particularly during installation. It's crucial, however, to avoid bringing any sharp items in contact with the membrane, whether they're on footwear or tools. For a detailed guide on ensuring proper care when walking on the membrane, please refer to our instructional video to avoid any missteps.

Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
Straight forward and helpful with making the order. Delivery guy was friendly and was helpful in bringing the sheets into the back yard (was only a few). Really happy and would highly recommend!!!
