Commercial Rubber Roofing for Flat Roofs
The ultimate solution for durability and weather resistance on flat roofs in New Zealand's demanding climate.
The Challenge of Flat Roofs in New Zealand
The lashing rain and humidity of New Zealand's climate demand a lot from most pitched roofs. However, when it comes to flat roofs, there's another element to consider—puddling. Since gravity can't pull water down and away, it can settle on uneven sections, causing severe water damage, attracting pests, and leading to premature roof sagging.
Traditional vs. Modern Solutions
Typical Built-Up Roof (BUR) systems and modified bitumen membranes are effective but can be rigid. We recommend a more advanced solution: EPDM rubber roofing.
A rubber roof coating, made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), offers a flexible, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-install sheet membrane. It's a superior alternative to traditional asphalt systems.

Why Choose Rubber Roofing?
The primary benefit of commercial rubber roofing is its durability. It's the best barrier for flat roofs against the havoc New Zealand's weather can wreak because it is almost entirely weather-resistant. A flat layer of rubber membrane is heat-bonded to the roof, acting as a protective layer. Furthermore, it's a common choice for its affordability and low maintenance requirements.
Resistance to Thermal Shock
Unlike materials that become brittle from temperature changes, rubber roofing is immune to this damage as it doesn't conduct heat.
Quick and Easy Installation
Rubber roofing is installed by rolling out a seamless sheet and bonding it to the roof, which is faster and easier than laying shingles.
Long-lasting Solution
EPDM rubber roofs oxidise very slowly. With proper installation and care, this synthetic material will last for twenty years or longer.
