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

El.duderino

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

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 anywhere 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.

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.

Hey banbh, Ill pm you the details of a place i got it today. excellent.:)

Did you get sorted?

I did indeed isup, cheers

Banbh

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.

isup

Yeah felt off and new ply wood base

Banbh

Thanks - more work.

isup

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

Banbh

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.

North West

PM NW for details

Banbh

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

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

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.

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.

wagster

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

VegetativeState

Hi folks, likewise seearching for EPDM. Have found one supplier but I'd like to see what the other options are, if anyone has any info please PM me. Thanks!

wagster

Just an update in the hopes that it helps someone.

I've spoken to any number of roofing companies and roofers by this point and the general consensus is that modern torch-on systems as pretty much as good as EDPM - lifespan of around 25 years as opposed to 30 years for EDPM. Also, for a non-specialist fitter (I'm very good at DIY but not quite a builder yet and definitely not a roofer) torch-on is much harder to mess up than EDPM.

So in the end I went for the Iko Ikonic system from roofmart.ie. They provided a bit of support over the phone as well with regards to dressing the edges where the upstands meet the flashing etc. Just finished the job today and it looks and seems like a good 'un. Winter will be the test.

I went with fibre glass myself. Was all a bit messy and still needs the top coat, but is a superior product imo.
