RubberGard™ EPDM

Since the first Elevate EPDM roof was laid in 1980, Elevate has manufactured and installed more than 1,500,000,000 m² of Elevate RubberGard EPDM roofing systems, from the cold climate of Alaska to the sun-filled deserts of the Persian Gulf. RubberGard EPDM systems are intended for roofs on different types of buildings in accordance with the manufacturer’s documentation and the project requirements.

The roofing solution of the highest quality. The Elevate RubberGard EPDM roofing system is based on an age-resistant EPDM rubber membrane and is designed for flat and low-slope roofs of commercial, industrial and residential buildings. It can also be combined with green roofs and/or solar PV installations.

UltraPly™ TPO

UltraPly™ TPO

The aim of offering a complete set of efficient roofing solutions led to the development of the Elevate UltraPly TPO membrane. These thermoplastic membranes are used for waterproofing commercial roofs. They are widely recognised in the industry for their many advantages in installation and performance. Since the first TPO roofs were laid in the early 1990s, hundreds of millions of square metres of UltraPly TPO membranes have been installed worldwide, from the cold of Canada to the hot and humid climate of Southeast Asia.

Model roofing. Elevate UltraPly TPO is a flexible thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane for low-slope roofs of commercial and industrial buildings. It can also be combined with green roofs and/or solar PV installations.

RubberCover™ EPDM

RubberCover™ EPDM

Elevate designed the RubberCover™ EPDM roofing system specifically for the roofs of small outbuildings. The system is based on high-quality Elevate RubberCover EPDM membranes and a limited number of components, providing a watertight, long-term roofing solution.

Elevate RubberCover™ EPDM roofing systems can be used for various small buildings, such as extensions, verandas, mansards, terraces, garages, carports, garden houses, balconies, gutters and trailers.

Elevate RubberCover EPDM roofing systems should be selected for the project in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions:

  • long service life
  • large sheets that can reduce the number of joints
  • maintenance costs depend on the project and servicing
  • flame-free installation subject to safety requirements
  • high flexibility and elasticity
  • environmental properties assessed using the specific product documentation
