Where Can I Buy EPDM Rubber for my roof?

The simple answer is, you can buy all your EPDM Rubber Flat Roofing needs from The Lincs Group, who are suppliers of the premium Elevate range of products. 

There are other suppliers though, many who are deserving of their good reputation. Here are a few things to look out for when deciding where to buy your EPDM Rubber.

Material Quality

Ensure the EPDM rubber you purchase is of a high quality, & sourced from a reputable manufacturer. Manufacturers with proven track records and positive customer reviews are key. The Lincs Group supply the Elevate range of rubber roofing items, the global leaders in quality & with a sterling reputation developed over 40 years.

Size and Thickness

Determine the appropriate size and thickness of the EPDM membrane for your roofs specifications. Thicker membranes do generally offer better durability and insulation properties, but they're not always necessary. If under 100 sqm, relatively simple, & with little to no foot traffic, the standard 1.14mm EPDM should be fine for your needs. 

If over 100sqm, with durability being more necessary, the premium 1.52mm would be better suited. Both membranes are equally waterproof though, so don't be caught out by sellers telling you otherwise!

Accessories and Adhesives

Does the EPDM Rubber supplier supply the necessary adhesives, tapes, and other accessories necessary for the job requirements.? Using compatible products with the EPDM Rubber ensures a secure and long-lasting installation. A key Lincs Group tip here, is to consider checking the price of these other items - as some suppliers may display cheaper Rubber prices, but then display higher prices for all the other roofing items, making them not so cheap after all! 

Rubber life expectancy and Support

Check the life expectancy of the EPDM Rubber. The Lincs Group recommend our chose manufacturer, Elevate, who's EPDM has up to a 50 year life expectancy. Some suppliers do also offer warranties, but generally this is only provided when installed by a certified installer.

Conclusion

When it comes to buying rubber for a flat roof in the UK, The Lincs Group are a preferred supplier for many. But providing you follow as many of the steps above, you should be able to narrow your search down to the reputable providers deserving of your purchase.
