EPDM waterproofing in Latvia

RubberGard EPDM is a flexible membrane. The manufacturer states flexibility down to −45 °C and elongation above 300%; these are material properties, rather than installation temperatures or a promise that damage cannot occur. An adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted system is selected to suit the substrate and project.

Environmental performance depends on the specific membrane, complete roofing system, installation, service life and end-of-life route. Compare products using current product-specific EPD/LCA documentation with the same scope and assumptions. Suitability for collecting rainwater and available recycling routes must be assessed separately for the intended use and local facilities.

RubberGard EPDM 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 shorter installation times (typically 6.10 x 30.5 m panels used). Additionally, Elevate's QuickSeam Tape technology provides a proven field seaming solution without requiring special tools.

Unlike other waterproofing membranes, RubberGard EPDM does not require flames or hot-air welding. The details on roofs are executed with primers and self-adhesive products. The risk of onsite fire is therefore minimized.

RubberGard EPDM can be used in roof systems with solar panels when appropriately designed. Panel attachments, loads, membrane protection, drainage and maintenance access must be checked. Roof service life and warranty should be coordinated with the selected system and operating conditions.

Product markings, declarations of performance and approvals must be checked for the specific membrane, roofing system, application and current document version. CE marking relates to declared performance under the applicable harmonised specification; it is not a universal guarantee for every use.
