Document record
This 12-page brochure covers the RubberGard EPDM range from Elevate. It groups the membrane by attachment method: adhered, ballasted and mechanically attached. The adhered group includes RubberGard EPDM, RubberGard EPDM SA and RubberGard EPDM Pre-Taped (PT). The ballasted option uses roofing panels of up to 50 feet by 200 feet covered with pavers or washed stone.
The brochure lists the membrane options as RubberGard EPDM, EPDM SA, EPDM Pre-Taped, EcoWhite EPDM, RubberGard MAX EPDM (reinforced), and PT and MAX PT versions. It gives thicknesses of 45 mil, 60 mil, 75 mil reinforced and 90 mil, in black or white. The SA section describes a factory-applied adhesive, an installation range down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius), zero VOCs, and wind-uplift resistance above 180 pounds per square foot with an FM 1-780 rating. The headline figure is three times faster installation, and a footnote cites a third-party test at 4.6 times faster than conventionally adhered EPDM.
The brochure notes EPDM elongation of 300 percent or more and says the membrane can be repaired at any point in its life. Its document list names design and application guides, QuickSpecs, technical information sheets, installation details and field guides. The warranty footnote refers to conditions and to the 30-year warranties listed for the adhered and mechanically attached options.
