New RubberGard LSFR Membrane Sizes
July 13, 2011
Firestone is pleased to announce the expansion of its Low Slope Fire Retardant (LSFR) EPDM membrane offering. The recently announced consolidation of our EPDM membranes around the LSFR formulation positions Firestone to provide our customers with industry leading membrane technology in a wide range of widths, lengths and thicknesses.
The benefits of these initiatives include:
- Flexibility to utilize a wider range of widths and lengths to meet project specific needs
- Reduced scrap and installation costs by increasing panel layout options
- Reduced inventory carrying costs associated with inventorying both Standard and LSFR EPDM panels at our customers' facilities
- LSFR EPDM has the most comprehensive code ratings of any unreinforced EPDM
We will continue to sell our “standard” EPDM membranes for the next 60-90 days as we transition to exclusively selling LSFR EPDM. Customers who order “standard” EPDM will automatically be switched to the premium LSFR–grade as specific sizes are depleted from inventory. Additionally, we have discontinued a few of our low-demand membrane sizes. Current inventories of these membranes, which no longer exist on Firestone’s online EPDM item list, are also available for sale while supplies last.
For more information and for purchasing available discontinued sizes, please consult your local Firestone Sales Representative.
