Rubber Roofs

Featuring products from these fine companies:

Single-ply roofing is controlling an increasingly larger share of the commercial and industrial roofing industry. the hottest item in the single-ply market is ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Long term dependability, weatherability, and durability are among the primary factors contributing to the rapidly increasing demand for EPDM roofs.

As a contractor, you know that securing the job is more than having the best product. First, your customer must be aware of what you can offer. Second, you must know how to use the product most effectively. Third, you must be innovative and price competitive.

To develop product awareness, we assign each customer a sales representative. This person along with the main office personnel will help you with all of the following:

1. Getting your product and system specified by architects and building owners.
2. Providing marketing tools for your sales efforts and technical information for your customers.
3. Providing your sales staff with product knowledge and teaching them how to reach the marketplace.

Correct product usage and innovative application systems and accessories are as much a function of being price competitive as are material costs. You will find our price on premium EPDM sheet as well as our full line of application accessories to be competitive with other sources. More than that, we offer subtle but effective refinements in accessory design including improved termination bars, deck plates, and summer or winter adhesive formulations. We are one of the few sources available for white and fire-retardant premium EPDM sheets.

In-the-field training is available in both application and the bidding process. Warranties are available and can be given directly to the building owner on our materials as well as your application.

Service, training, innovation, and competitive pricing are the focus of our organization. Increase your profits with our premium line in roofing materials.

The Royal Edge in Single-Ply EPDM Rubber Roofing Technology and Performance.

Over 20 Years Field Proven Performance: One of the first EPDM roofs was installed in 1965. That roof is made with our Royal Edge polymer, and is still in service today.

Flexible: Unlike conventional asphalt roofing, there is no stress failure from structural movement due to the minimum 300% elongation.

Weatherproof: Our Royal Edge membrane has shown little or no effect from sun, rain, hail, ice or snow since 1965.

Minimal Maintenance: Coatings are never needed, due to our Royal Edge membrane's high resistance to ultra violet rays and the ozone.

Withstands Temperature Extremes: The Royal Edge 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.

Fast, Safe Installation: Our Royal Edge roofing systems can be installed on new construction and retrofit projects without disruptive activities in the building.

Fire Rated Systems: Our Royal Edge applications are in compliance with both Underwriter's Laboratory and Factory Mutual guidelines. (See UL and FM Directories for specifics).

Warranties: Our Royal Edge membrane is offered with a FREE membrane only warranty for commercial, industrial and institutional installations. Labor warranties are available for a nominal fee for periods of 5, 10 and 15 years. Labor warranties are offered only through our Registered Applicator Program.

EPDM

GenFlex EPDM roofing systems are designed for durability and to withstand extreme environmental exposure. They can provide the right solution to your project regardless of configuration, usage, slope, height, location or wind exposure.

Thousands of roofs have been installed with GenFlex EPDM membrane and protect valuable properties including distribution centers, retail facilities, hospitals and numerous schools and institutions.

GenFlex EPDM systems are suitable for both new construction and re-roofing. Seams are secured with GenFlex self-adhesive tape - a strong, reliable seaming method. This is a high performance membrane - resistant to tears, impacts, punctures and normal roof traffic. GenFlex EPDM has the system choices to fit specific projects and the options to meet fluctuating budgets.

GenFlex EPDM is available in rolls up to 15.2m (50') wide by 30.5m (100') long. Nominal thickness is 1.1mm (45 mil) and 1.5mm (60 mil).

GenFlex EPDM membrane is installed either ballasted, mechanically attached or fully adhered. Normal structural movement has no effect on its integrity and the membrane provides excellent resistance to ozone and ultraviolet light exposure.

Bar Cover Tape Regularly used in situations where the roof is subject to extreme weather conditions, such as extensive thermal variance and heavy winds. This is the top selling EPDM mechanically attached system offered by GenFlex.

Fully Adhered A system often used for installations with unusual or odd-shaped contours. Fully adhered systems install with a continuous, even surface, have no mechanical penetration of the membrane and add minimal weight to the deck.

Ballasted Used on substrates capable of supporting the dead load of this system, the Ballasted system is preferred for installations where speed and economy are prime considerations. Insulation, as well as the membrane, may be loose laid with the membrane fastened only at the perimeter.

Bar In Seam Designed for those applications where it is desirable to use 2.0m (6'5") or 2.3m (7'5") wide sheets of GenFlex EPDM membrane. This system provides a roof of exceptional strength and integrity.

GenFlex Roofing Systems is a partner in the EPA Energy Star Program and a strong supporter of white reflective roofing and the related energy benefits.
