Rubber Clad Roofing EPDM

Project progress - Ruin Studios - Conservation & Innovation

The project uses EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber waterproofing to clad entire new structure of the building. The main advantages of the material can be summarised as follows:

• Water resistant yet vapour permeable.

• Withstands extremes of temperature between -50°C and +130°C.

• Elongation of over 400% with no degradation over time.

• Resistant to ozone and UV.

• No fire risk.

• A natural product.

• Individual elevations including cut-outs for doors and windows can be manufactured in the factory with vulcanised joins between roll widths.
