HERTALAN EASY COVER – EPDM FLAT ROOFING

hertalan easy cover is an EPDM membrane roofing system which can provide every flat roof with the best EPDM waterproof sheeting. Our special hot bonding technique is used to connect EPDM sheets together at our factory, this way HERTALAN® produces a EPDM flat roofing system that can virtually seal an entire roof at once, using large sheets.

There are big advantages to working with an EPDM membranes. The number of seams and accordingly risks are kept to an absolute minimum. Far fewer actions on the roof are required, which makes each roof structure waterproof more quickly and effectively either as a partially/fully adhered, mechanically fixed or ballasted system process.

hertalan easy cover EPDM membranes have excellent properties and are suitable for exposure to UV and ozone radiation without ageing and therefore can be used as adhered and mechanically fixed systems without the requirement for additional surface protection.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES

hertalan easy cover is a product with unique properties, it has an exceptionally long life expectancy, requires minimal maintenance and is both root and UV/OZONE-resistant. The environmental impact is negligible and the return on investment significant for EPDM flat roofing.

HIGHLIGHTED:

LIFE SPAN RESEARCH

From reference lists of the participating elastomer EPDM producers SKZ selected 39 roofing projects in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, from late 90's ranging in age and installed between 1968 and 1996. From the samples taken the mechanical properties were determined, such as hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break. On all roofs that were investigated the EPDM roofing materials fulfils its function as waterproof membranes completely. The samples visually showed no serious ageing. The final outcome based on the service life for HERTALAN® EPDM roofing was >50 years.

DUBOKEUR ACCREDITATION

HERTALAN® products have been awarded The DUBOkeur® accreditation. The DUBOkeur® certificate proves that a product, material or property is an environmentally friendly choice. This is demonstrated by means of an environmental life cycle assessment made by the Dutch Institute for Building Biology and Ecology (NIBE), the research institute for environmental building materials. The purpose of the DUBOkeur® label is solely for the top end of the market in the field of sustainability, so it really worth getting!

TEST REPORT: RESISTANCE AGAINST ROOT PENETRATION

By commission of Carlisle® Construction Materials bv the Institute of Horticulture, University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan has tested our HERTALAN® EPDM roofing products. In this intensive, 2 year during test, the resistance to root damage of the flexible sheets hertalan easy cover and hertalan easy weld was determined.
