EPDM IN GUTTERS

EPDM membranes are airtight and waterproof, and additionally, it is a light weight material that is easy to install. Using a special contact adhesive or a sealer, EPDM can be adhered to almost any substrate, including gutters. With all of its advantageous properties, EPDM is an ideal lining for gutters. It protects the gutter against moisture and other elements, consequently extending the lifespan of the gutter. Furthermore, the moisture-repellent qualities of EPDM can be used, for example, to protect zinc gutters against condensation. This is especially important for roof valleys – the joint between two inclined sides of a roof – and for gutters that are partially installed against a wall. Fully wrapping the gutter with EPDM membranes prevents condensation from infiltrating the wall.

The EPDM strips come on a roll and have a length of 20 meters and the width varies from 100mm to 1,400mm. We have the most common sizes available in stock. Additionally, we also have prefab rainwater outlets for a complete and waterproof finish. All sorts of gutters can be lined in this manner, a simple waterproof and airtight solution.

The abbreviation EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. EPDM has a high elasticity, to at least 400%, and retains its elasticity within a large temperature range: from -35°C to +120°C. Moreover, EPDM is resistant against the impact of many bases, acids and salts; only crude oil products are able to damage the material. EPDM is UV and ozone resistant. It requires very little maintenance and has a long lifespan. It can withstand extreme (weather) conditions, and still have a lifespan of at least 50 years. Because of this – and because EPDM doesn’t dry out – it is an environmentally sustainable material.
