4Environmentally Responsible Featured in<br />
the Green Guide and contributing to a<br />
BREEAM summary A+ rating over an<br />
appropriate support, EPDM is an inert material,<br />
containing no plasticisers, heavy metals or<br />
chlorine, which means there is no change in the<br />
material even when exposed for many years.<br />
EPDM’s extended service life significantly lowers<br />
its environmental impact, and the membrane is<br />
completely recyclable.<br />
5Heat & Flame Free Installation is totally<br />
heat- and flame-free, with all joints formed<br />
using a self-adhesive splice tape. This<br />
avoids any fire risk from the roofing project, along<br />
with any fire-risk related insurance costs or fire<br />
safety wait times for installation teams at the end<br />
of a day on site.<br />
As no electrically-powered tools are needed,<br />
there is no requirement for any temporary or<br />
permanent power source; a significant<br />
advantage for both remote locations where<br />
getting a generator to site may be onerous and<br />
for residential areas where a generator could<br />
create nuisance noise.<br />
