Since its introduction in 1980, Firestone's RubberGard EPDM system has dominated the single-ply roofing market through its proven performance, durability and flexibility over a wide range of building types.
The RubberGard EPDM system has delivered more than three decades of commercial roofing success by building upon a heritage of innovation in rubber polymer technology. The versatile membrane offers a variety of installation options including fully adhered, ballasted or mechanically attached that deliver superior long-term weather ability and exhibit exceptional wind-uplift resistance.
RubberGard R.M.A. System uses large EPDM panels bonded to Firestones QuickSeam R.M.A. strips to provide uninterrupted, weatherable thickness, while its large panels deliver faster installation. This system can provide up to 25 years of warranty protection with no additional maintenance or inspections required to maintain coverage. The RubberGard R.M.A. System is also a recyclable roofing option that offers a low annualized cost, reduced VOC emissions, and complies with certain FM and UL approval standards.
