The first Firestone EPDM roof was installed in Wisconsin, USA, in 1980, and still performs well today.

The main component of the Firestone™ EPDM Roofing Systems is the Firestone™ RubberGard EPDM membrane - a single-ply synthetic rubber roofing membrane made of ethylene - propylene - diene terpolymer, mixed with carbon black, oils, curing agents and processing aids.
It is calendered into large sheets and vulcanized.

Since 1980, over 1.000.000.000 square meters of Firestone RubberGard EPDM membranes have been installed on roofs from the cold climates of Alaska to the desert sun of the Arabian Gulf.

• Superior durability & longevity
  unmatched resistance to ozone, UV radiation, extremes of both high and low temperatures, and ultimately ageing.
  
  
• Quick and easy installation
  Firestone™ RubberGard EPDM is available in large panel sizes up to 15 m in width and 61 m in length resulting in fewer field seams and less installation time.
  
  
• Good flexibility & elongation
  Firestone™ RubberGard EPDM remains highly flexible even at temperatures down to -45° C and can also elongate over 300% to accommodate building movement.
  
  
• Low life-cycle cost
  Firestone™ RubberGard EPDM requires little or no maintenance. This feature, combined with the inherent durability and competitive installed cost of EPDM roofing systems, result in a very low life-cycle cost.
  
  
• Environmentally friendly
  Firestone™ RubberGard EPDM is an inert material with limited environment impact during manufacture and use of the product. In addition, Firestone's EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification.
