RubberGard™ EPDM Mechanically Attached Warm Roof System
Verified by manufacturer 3 months ago
A lightweight, non-penetrating, mechanically attached EPDM warm roof system.
Application
Suitable for profiled metal deck applications and other deck types which provide sufficient anchorage for mechanical attachment.
Description
The RubberGard™ EPDM RMA System is a lightweight, non-penetrating mechanically attached system developed around the QuickSeam™ RMA strip: a strip of reinforced EPDM membrane incorporating two strips of self-adhesive QuickSeam™ Splice Tape laminated along each edge over the length of the strip.

Preparation | - |
Horizontal work | SA-19 Primer.Firestone SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Firestone V-Gard vapour control membrane. It's also used to prime seams when required. |
Skirtings and vertical work | SA-19 Primer.Firestone SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Firestone V-Gard vapour control membrane. It's also used to prime seams when required. |
Air and vapour control layer | - |
Type | V-Gard Vapor Control layer.Firestone V-Gard Vapor Control Membrane is designed to be used as a vapour control layer in Firestone roofing systems. It consists of a reinforced aluminium foil with self-adhesive bituminous backing protected by a release film. The fibreglass reinforcement makes it suitable for applications that involve high mechanical stresses. The Firestone V-Gard membrane can be installed on concrete, wood and steel deck. |
Attachment | Self-adhesive bituminous backing. |
