SHED ROOFING FELT - CHOOSE EPDM ROOFING KITS

An EPDM membrane is simple to attach and is our preference compared to traditional shed felt. For a long-lasting and exceptionally durable roofing material, EPDM is a great choice. Also known by its longer name, Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a synthetic rubber material that is flexible and weather resistant. Its main benefit is that the material can last for decades without needing to be replaced or repaired. It is also relatively easy to install, making it a great option for buyers.

In the past, shed roofs have traditionally been constructed using shed roofing felt. As a minimum, Buy Sheds Direct recommends that Polyester-backed felt, rather than black sand felt, is used for increased fibre reinforcement and extended longevity of 15 years or more. For a longer-lasting roof covering, choosing an EPDM rubber membrane is an ideal alternative, and in our opinion, a better option. Our EPDM rubber roof sheets will give you an impressively long lifespan of around 25-50 years. Shingle roofs on the other hand may be attractive and have a long life, but they tend to cost more, even without needing a felt or EPDM covering.

Buy Sheds Direct prefer to offer EPDM roof kits rather than providing shed felt as standard due to its durability. Although felt is not available to purchase as an individual product, it is included as one of the roofing options for specific sheds, a couple of examples are:

1. 6' x 6' Traditional Standard Apex Wooden Garden Shed (1.83m x 1.83m)
2. 15' x 11' Palmako Olaf Premium (88mm) Multi-room Shed (4.5m x 3.3m)

Buy Sheds Direct provide a wide range of EPDM sheets to fit a wide variety of shed sizes. A single sheet of EPDM roofing is included in each kit that we offer. We carry more than 20 sizes that can accommodate a variety of shed dimensions.

Our EPDM sheets range from 4'x3' to 14'x10' in size, and their prices increase as the size increases.  All our shed roofing sheets are supplied with a 20-year guarantee included in the price and are quick and easy to install.

Each EPDM roofing kit includes the following:

1. The roof membrane
2. Water-based deck adhesive
3. Adhesive applicator
4. Edge sealant

The following are just some of the advantages of installing an EPDM rubber roof:

• Longevity – you will get a lifespan of 25-50 years compared to 15 years for some of the better-quality shed roofing felts
• Attractive – the final finish is clean and aesthetically pleasing
• Install and forget – apply it once and never worry about needing to reapply
• Material qualities – EPDM will not tear or rip. It will not blow loose in strong winds. It is UV stable and therefore, will not crack, blister, or peel
• Water-tight – the finish is waterproof and resistant to extreme weather
