ARBO EPDM System

Facade sealing and weatherproofing system to prevent water and air leakage from buildings. 

Features and benefits:

• Following the introduction of Document L, it has become a requirement to provide a robust seal to the internal interfaces between different facade components of a construction.
• The purpose of this seal is to reduce heat and air leakage from a building and to help prevent interstitial condensation.
• To aid rapid construction techniques, contractors demand that a building is made substantially waterproof as early as possible during construction.
• The use of the ARBO EPDM system plays an important role in achieving this aim.
• Increasing standards demanded by building insurance companies on new constructions and impending legislation means that window seals must incorporate additional robust seals and use of an external sealant only will not be permitted as a defence against water ingress.
• The ARBO Membrane system is designed to offer a fully compatible solution to this detail that not only prevents water and air leakage but uses sealants and adhesives which are safe and solvent free.
• The system will not affect sensitive substrates such as natural stone.
• It does not affect solvent-sensitive paint finishes and is compatible with other ARBO sealants which may come into contact with the EPDM system.
• Anticipated life expectancy of 50 years.
