Key features and benefits
The success of Firestone RubberGard EPDM can be =
attributed to its=20
unique combination of benefits.
=20
- Superior durability and longevity: =
Due to its=20
composition, Firestone RubberGard EPDM offers unmatched =
resistance=20
to ozone, UV radiation, extremes of both high and low=20
temperatures, and ultimately ageing.
- Quick and easy installation: =
Firestone=20
RubberGard EPDM is available in large panel sizes up to 15 =
m in=20
width and 61 m in length resulting in fewer field seams =
and less=20
installation time.
- High flexibility and elongation: =
Firestone=20
RubberGard EPDM remains highly flexible even at =
temperatures down=20
to -45=B0 C and can also elongate over 300% to accommodate =
building=20
movements.
- Low life-cycle cost: Firestone =
RubberGard=20
EPDM requires little or no maintenance. This feature, =
combined=20
with the inherent durability and competitive installed =
cost of=20
EPDM roofing systems, result in a very low life-cycle =
cost.
- Environmentally friendly: Firestone=20
RubberGard EPDM is an inert material with limited =
environmental=20
impact during manufacture and use of the product. In =

Firestone's EPDM manufacturing facilities have received =
ISO 14001=20
certification, a testimony of the company's commitment to=20
environmental management.
