Firestone Consolidates EPDM Membrane Offerings
May 18, 2011
Firestone is committed to bringing our customers the highest quality products available in the roofing industry. Continuous investment in research and development allows Firestone to lead the way in innovation. As new products are introduced, products that become obsolete are removed from our line. New technology leads the way toward improved products that sustain quality and enhance efficiency.
Firestone has proudly manufactured two leading grades of EPDM roofing membrane: “Standard” and “Low-Slope Fire Retardant (LSFR)”. Our LSFR membrane is truly one of the very best single-ply membranes in the roofing industry, tested and proven; carrying the most comprehensive building codes.
Moving forward, we are pleased to announce that RubberGard EPDM LSFR grade membranes will be sold exclusively. This realignment of products allows our Standard EPDM membrane customers to upgrade to premium LSFR membrane at no additional cost. The following table shows a sample comparison of our most popular Standard and LSFR membrane panel sizes. In most cases, switching to LSFR from Standard will be as simple as substituting “R” with “L” in the item number field during the ordering process.
