With hertalan EPDM strips, HERTALAN® has a Damp Proof Membranes System in which you can make all structures damp-, water- and windproof. hertalan EPDM strips is an EPDM system for sealing applications. This Damp Proof Membranes System can be used for waterproofing roof gutters, cavity wall structures, conduits and window frames quickly and effective against leaks and moisture penetration. It can be attached to virtually any substrate, it has an exceptionally long life cycle, is very environmentally-friendly, stays flexible, can be recycled and is easily adhered to numerous surfaces. Also, this versatile product is completely resistant to acid rain.
With hertalan EPDM strips you opt for quality, flexibility and convenience. Thanks to our comprehensive adhesive system and the textured surface of the EPDM sheet it can be attached on virtually any surface. That makes hertalan EPDM strips the ideal solution for Damp Proof Course (DPC) applications in e.g. cavity walls, around window frames and in curtain walls.
In a curtain walling construction hertalan EPDM strips are applied between the prefabricated panels and connections of the façade element on the first floor. For wooden and aluminium frames hertalan EPDM strips are used as loose strips or as completely prefabricated frameworks. In cavity wall constructions and dormers as an alternative to lead. All these joints and seams are connections with hertalan EPDM strips to an optimum wind and waterproof surfaces.
EPDM strips are ideal for the renovation and new construction of gutters. When renovating zinc gutters hertalan EPDM strips are easy to apply. The substrate must be suitably prepared and then Damp Proof Membrane System can be adhered with the Hertalan contact adhesive. Prefab roof drains and corners ensure easy waterproofing of details.
Nowadays in new gutter construction the quality of the timber is reduced. If you than apply a new 'cold' zinc gutter, it will cause condensation underneath it. The combination of cheap timber and condensation is not good. As a result, the life span of the gutter can be shortened considerably. hertalan EPDM strips offers a solution: The gutter is fully adhered with hertalan EPDM strips for long life and a zinc bead for the aesthetic view.
With hertalan EPDM strips you opt for quality, flexibility and convenience. You can work on virtually any substrate. That makes hertalan EPDM strips the ideal solution for Damp Proof Course applications in cavity walls, around window frames and in curtain walls.

New buildings must meet certain requirements in the field of energy efficiency. This is expressed in the Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC). How lower the EPC, the more economical the building is. As an example the situation in The Netherlands: The EPC is becoming tougher, the target is a nearly zero coefficient for buildings at the end of 2020. At this moment the EPC for new homes is 0.6 or less. For new offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings the EPC is even lower.
hertalan EPDM strips can contribute to this objective. Compared to traditional DPC systems hertalan EPDM strips provides many advantages, especially in making a building 100% dampproof.

NIBE Netherlands gives a clear overview of the environmental costs (EPD) of building materials that are most commonly used. NIBE classifies the Environment Costs pro building material, shown as "hidden environmental costs". Although it is a Dutch institution, good and accurate information is provided. There is always a first class product, this is the least environmentally damaging product of the overall assessment. The classification of all other products within the same group is related to this first class product.
HERTALAN EPDM sheets have an Classification 1A, this is the highest achievable ranking.
