    Sorry to Haul up thread. Did you go for this stuff in the end? Looks a good alternative to felt. If you use it with a ballast.

    funnily enough i just up the materials today from a supplier in dublin, and im going to do the work in the next week. im happy enough with what ive seen of the product, the materials are pricy enough but its worth it, and its possible to do the whole area in one piece

    Thats funny. I was just looking at it on UK site as I dont want felt. Do you know what thickness you went for? Can you tell me name of place you got it? Cheers


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭El.duderino


    Yeah 1 piece sounds good. I was thinking you dont want to be joining rubber seams together. Found someplace in Cork. But Dublin would be even better. Do you mind me asking how much per m2 if you know roughly?

    yeah it depends on if you buy a roll or if they have to cut a peice for you.
    they told me they do rolls of 3x15 meters or 3 x 30 or 6x30
    if you buy a roll its €7 or €7.50 per m2 plus vat. if they cut a roll for you i think its €9.50 per m2.

    then youhaveto factor in adhesive, i big tub of waterbased is €154 plus vat if i remember correctly. then a primer for the corners at 32 plus vat.

    there is a non water based adhesive thats more expensive and harder to use, you also have to concider the detail at the gutter edge ,
    ill pm you the company details

    the product ****** EPDM ***** by the way, and it looks like 1 or 2 mm, its very tough, id say it would be hard to puncture it, theres no way it would tear like felt. Am I allowed to mention the product?

    Howdy, found this thread searching for a supplier of the epdm rubber. I have been searching for days now and I cant find anywhericon7.pnge in Ireland that sells it. I was hoping that maybe that recommended place may still be open or if anyone knows of another in Dublin or close.
    Cheers. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭Banbh


    I've been looking for a supplier in Galway and may have to get it over the internet and risk delivery problems. Garden centres sell it as pond liners and I'm wondering if it is the same stuff. Of course then there'd be the problem of getting the two types of adhesive.

    Does anyone know if it is necessary to strip off felt in order to lay EPDM? I've decided to do the job myself but it's a gamble with the weather and I want to make sure I get it done in one go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 649 ✭✭✭isup


    Yeah felt off and new ply wood base


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭Banbh


    Thanks - more work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 649 ✭✭✭isup


    The water based adhesive is alot easier to use than the other type.

    Instead of trying to strip the old torch-on felt, wouldn't new ply sheet fixed over this do instead?
    Always trying to get out of work.

    PM NW for details


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭Banbh


    Thanks for the contacts. I will get on to them and post a follow-up when I get the job done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 649 ✭✭✭isup


    Hi. If anyone knows of anywhere that supplys. I got some before -snip- but they seem to be closed down. All I need is to buy a patch


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭Curious Geroge


    Can you walk on this stuff? I have a terrace at the back of the house. Its mass concrete and wondering how do I finish it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 649 ✭✭✭isup


    You can walk on it but I wouldnt use it to walk on if you are trying to keep it water tight. It could be damaged/puncture with traffic

    Cheers. Any idea how you would finish a balcony/terrace that would be walked on (a non high traffic area).

    Where did you get the EPDM in the end? I'm thinking of upgrading my shed roof.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 wagster


    Could someone PM me an EDPM supplier in Ireland please? Galway would be handy but anywhere will do at a pinch. Thx.
