WHY 1.2MM IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
The 1.2mm thickness is the UK most installed EPDM specification for domestic flat roofs. It delivers the proven sweet spot of durability, flexibility and value - significantly more robust than budget 0.9mm and 1.1mm alternatives. Every roll is BBA certified to No. 19/5670 and manufactured to the same exacting standard trusted by professional roofers nationwide.
For foot-traffic areas or commercial roofs, see our 1.5mm Heavy-Duty EPDM. For all other domestic applications - sheds, garden rooms, extensions, garages, porches and outbuildings - 1.2mm is the specification recommended by UK roofing contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions
EPDM rubber roofing membranes, kits and accessories - straight answers from the Rubber Roof UK team.
Should I choose 1.2mm or 1.5mm EPDM?
For around 95% of domestic projects - sheds, garden rooms, extensions, garages and porches - 1.2mm is the correct, professionally recommended specification. Choose 1.5mm only where the roof will see regular foot traffic or is a commercial application needing extra puncture resistance.
How long does 1.2mm EPDM roofing last?
It carries a BBA-certified service life in excess of 50 years, roughly five times longer than traditional roofing felt.
Is 1.2mm EPDM independently certified?
Yes, it holds BBA Certificate No. 19/5670, meaning it has been independently tested and approved to UK Building Regulations, with certification available on request.
What widths and lengths are available?
It's available in 20 standard widths from 0.53m up to 15.24m, in single pieces up to 6.10m wide with no on-site seams, and up to 30.5m long, sold per linear metre and cut to your exact size.
How much extra membrane should I add for overlaps?
Add a minimum of 150mm to every edge of your roof measurement. For example, a 3m x 4m roof needs a 3.3m x 4.3m membrane.
What is the membrane made from and what colour is it?
It's 045 grade EPDM rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) in a slate grey-black matt, untalced finish, with a tensile strength of at least 9 MPa and elongation at break of 300% minimum (ASTM D412).
Can a DIYer install this membrane?
Yes. It uses cold-applied adhesives with no hot works or specialist tools required, and most domestic installs are completed in a single day.
What accessories will I need alongside the membrane?
You'll need water-based deck adhesive for the field area, contact adhesive for the perimeter, edge or drip trims, and lap sealant for penetrations - we stock the complete system.
What temperature range and weather conditions can it withstand?
The membrane performs from -40°C to +120°C and resists UV, ozone, hail and high winds, and won't develop moss or algae thanks to its self-draining smooth surface.
How quickly is my order dispatched?
Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched same-day, typically arriving within 1-3 working days via tracked courier.
What if I'm not sure what size to order?
Call our UK roofing experts - they can calculate your exact membrane size in under five minutes and help you choose the right accessories.
Is 1.2mm EPDM fire rated and recyclable?
Yes, it's Class E rated to EN 13501-1 and CE marked, and the material is fully recyclable with no toxic runoff, unlike bitumen felt.
