Facades Interface Waterproofing – EPDM Still an Alternative?

Facades Interface Waterproofing – EPDM Still an Alternative?

EFFISUS

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a very durable synthetic rubber membrane and is widely used worldwide in various applications on façade walls. It has very stable properties such as vapour, air and watertightness along with elongation of >400% - allowing it to accommodate building differential movements. There are many important considerations in using EPDM in the UK and this CPD covers the specific technical requirements to be followed, as well as new developments in the industry. By the end of the article you should have a greater understanding of: -The benefits of using EPDM membranes in interfaces -The main characteristics and usage of EPDM membranes - The standards EPDM's have to comply with including CE marking and tests - The technical requirements needed to apply EPDM in the UK market - Current EPDM available and new developments for the future
