The ultimate solution for durability and weather resistance on flat roofs in New Zealand’s demanding climate. EPDM rubber roofing — flexible, long-lasting, and low maintenance.
The lashing rain and humidity of New Zealand’s climate demand a lot from most pitched roofs. When it comes to flat roofs, there’s another critical element to consider — puddling. Since gravity can’t pull water down and away, it can settle on uneven sections, causing severe water damage, attracting pests, and leading to premature roof sagging.
That’s why we recommend EPDM rubber roofing. A rubber roof coating, made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), offers a flexible, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-install sheet membrane — a superior alternative to traditional asphalt systems.
Typical Built-Up Roof (BUR) systems and modified bitumen membranes are effective but can be rigid and prone to cracking under New Zealand’s variable temperature extremes. We recommend a more advanced solution.
EPDM rubber roofing is heat-bonded directly to the roof surface as a seamless protective layer. It’s highly weather-resistant, affordable, and requires minimal maintenance over its long lifespan.
What is EPDM? Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer — a synthetic rubber compound specifically engineered for roofing membranes. It oxidises very slowly, doesn’t conduct heat, and remains flexible across extreme temperature ranges.
The primary benefit of commercial rubber roofing is its durability. It’s the best barrier for flat roofs against the havoc New Zealand’s weather can wreak — almost entirely weather-resistant and built to last.
Unlike materials that become brittle from temperature changes, rubber roofing is immune to thermal shock damage as it doesn’t conduct heat. It flexes with your building through every season without cracking or splitting.
Rubber roofing is installed by rolling out a seamless sheet and heat-bonding it to the roof — faster and easier than laying shingles or applying multiple layers. Minimal disruption to your business operations.
EPDM rubber roofs oxidise very slowly. With proper installation and periodic care, this synthetic material will last for twenty years or longer — delivering exceptional return on investment.
Rubber roofing is a common choice for its affordability and minimal upkeep requirements. Once installed, it requires only routine inspections and occasional cleaning to maintain its protective performance.

Licensed Building Practitioners and Site Safe members. Every flat roofing project is completed to New Zealand building code standards with full safety compliance.
Our EPDM installations use heat-bonded, seamless sheets — eliminating the joints and seams that are typically the first point of failure on flat roofs.
EPDM is an environmentally responsible roofing choice — it doesn't bio-accumulate, is safe around plants and waterways, and has a minimal environmental footprint.
