Product : Rubbergard EDPM SA
When the Base Camp building at The O2 required urgent roof renovation, ensuring minimal disruption for visitors was a key priority. With water ingress issues needing immediate attention, a fast, durable, and effective waterproofing solution was essential.
As an authorised distributor of Elevate products, Rubberseal Ltd supplied RubberGard EPDM SA, a self-adhesive single-ply membrane known for its speed of installation, long-term durability, and superior weather resistance.
Why RubberGard EPDM SA?
Rapid Installation – With a factory-applied adhesive, there’s no need for separate bonding adhesives or drying time, significantly reducing installation time.
Exceptional Durability – Resistant to UV exposure, ozone, and extreme weather, the membrane offers a life expectancy of over 50 years.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective – Solvent-free, odourless, and producing minimal waste, making it an ideal choice for commercial refurbishments.
Cold Weather Application – Can be installed in temperatures as low as -7°C, ensuring year-round usability.
Fast & Efficient Installation
The roofing installation was carried out by Permacote, an Elevate Authorised Contractor, who applied 220m² of RubberGard EPDM SA onto the OSB substrate in just one day. Working under a protective canopy, the team used QuickSeam Splice Tape to create watertight, durable seams.
Elton Day, Director at Permacote, praised the product’s efficiency:
“Although we were familiar with standard RubberGard EPDM, this was our first time using the self-adhesive version. The installation was incredibly simple—within two and a half hours, we had applied all the membranes needed to cover the roof. If we’d used traditional adhesives, the job would have taken at least a full working day. The speed of RubberGard EPDM SA is amazing, and I’m looking forward to using it again on other commercial projects.”
