EPDM supplier?

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.

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
