When it comes to flat roofing, reliability, longevity, and ease of installation are paramount. At Roofbase, we’re delighted to showcase the TRC Fleece Backed EPDM membrane, a technologically advanced, robust, and versatile solution for both new builds and refurbishment projects.
What is TRC Fleece Backed EPDM?
TRC Fleece Backed EPDM is a 2.6mm thick roofing membrane, consisting of a 1.2mm Techno EPDM layer vulcanised to a heavy-duty, 300g/m² polypropylene fleece backing. This unique construction delivers exceptional durability and performance, making it ideal for a wide range of flat roofing applications.
Key Features and Benefits
Technologically Advanced Manufacturing
Unlike some alternatives that simply glue the fleece to the membrane, TRC Fleece Backed EPDM uses state-of-the-art vulcanisation during production. This process ensures a stronger, longer-lasting bond between the layers, enhancing overall membrane integrity.
Superior Coverage of Imperfections
The fleece backing allows the membrane to bridge minor imperfections in the substrate. This makes it perfect for overlaying uneven surfaces or refurbishing existing roofs, saving time and money on stripping and disposal.
Simple, Safe Installation
The membrane can be adhered to timber decks using a specially formulated TRC Fleece Backed Water Based Adhesive or to other substrates with a spray-applied TRC Contact Adhesive. No hot works are required, significantly improving on-site safety. Each roll comes with a pre-installed 75mm splice tape along one edge, streamlining installation and ensuring watertight seams.
Exceptional Longevity
With a life expectancy of 50 years and a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty, TRC Fleece Backed EPDM offers peace of mind and long-term value. Its elasticity and elongation allow it to move with the building, reducing the risk of splits or leaks over time.
Certified Performance
TRC Fleece Backed EPDM is CE-certified, produced in an ISO 9001 facility, and holds a BROOF(t4) fire rating, meeting stringent safety and quality standards.
Comprehensive System
The membrane is part of a complete system, including TRC adhesives, primers, trims, and accessories—everything needed for a professional, watertight finish.
Reduced Waste, Flexible Sizing
Available in 1.52m and 3.05m wide rolls, which are 15.25m long, the system allows for efficient coverage and minimal waste, regardless of roof size
