WE’VE PROCESSED AND SHIPPED OVER 230,000m2 OF EPDM IN THE LAST 12

MONTHS ALONE

We stock thousands of items in our dedicated EPDM warehouse ready for Next Day delivery. Stocking a range of

over 100 products from three of the leading manufacturers with direct access to over 100,000 m2 of EPDM and other

flat roofing products through our wholesalers.

EPDM Stock Management

The largest membrane we manage is 15 metre x 30 metre weighing in at 700 kg and supplied on a 3-metre wide roll. The membrane is folded 4 times on the roll so it’s not a simple case of just cutting off what you need. The membrane needs to be unfolded and processed efficiently, requiring a large amount of space, customised storage and equipment as well as our experienced team of handlers.

2

Optimised EPDM Handling

Our cut-to-size service has been integral to our growth ever since we started supplying EPDM. We’ve continued to innovate in this area, developing our own in-house cutting

machine that can cut large rolls down to size quickly. We’re continually improving our processes to maximise our use of

a full roll, reducing waste.

3

Cut-To-Size EPDM

We only manage flat-roofing systems and products, allowing us to focus fully on offering a specialised EPDM service. Whether that be our technical sales team helping with pricing or installation enquiries or our warehouse operatives packing products with proven techniques to ensure safe, damage free shipping.

EPDM Specialists

We’ve developed a range of resources to assist in promoting and selling EPDM to your customers. From our point of sale resources (including example roofs, display

stands and branded racking solutions) to our unique ClassicBond materials calculator that will quickly let staff and

customers calculate the materials needed for a project and allow staff to follow-up leads. We can also train your staff on-

site or from our Midlands EPDM training centre.

EPDM Stock ManagementDeciding what level of stock to hold in your business is critical when considering inventory and warehouse

costs. This is no less important for EPDM stockists as the CLASSICBOND® full rolls can be bulky and expensive, requiring a great deal of warehouse space to store and process the materials.

Our drop-ship solution provides merchants with a great way to avoid all the associated risks and overheads of stocking your business. We will manage all our own stock at our optimised warehouse and then simply

pick, pack and ship goods on an order-by-order basis, providing merchants with the following benefits:

REDUCE YOUR OVERHEADS BY LETTING US MANAGE THE BULKY, HEAVY STOCK

Technical SupportSo your customer has a question or 10? Relax we have all the answers and more. We understand every

roof is different and we also have the experience and range of products to ensure that the correct roofing system is recommended depending on the existing roof design and existing roof covering.

Our experienced staff will be able to support your trade counter team and if necessary speak directly to your customer to make sure nothing is lost in translation.

We are passionate about our products and services and have lots of helpful advice that we want to share with you to make sure all of your customers flat roofing projects are a success.

Our unique membrane cut-to-size service allows us to cut your drop-ship orders to the actual size required. No more end of roll off-cuts and over supply from standard inefficient roll widths. Working directly from the manufacturers rolls, we

are able to cut membrane to any size, offering seamless solutions up to 30 metres in length.

Why is this Important?

The adhesives and edge trim systems associated with EPDM rubber roofing are relatively straightforward to handle, however the larger CLASSICBOND® EPDM membrane sheets can pose more of a problem if you don’t have enough

space or the specialist equipment required to handle them.

The EPDM rolls have a cardboard inner tube measuring 3.40m in length. All membranes greater than 3.05m wide are folded to ensure the membrane is still manageable. The cut-to-size solution gives you and your customers much greater

choice of membrane size over and above the standard roll widths listed in the table below. If you do decide to bulk stock ClassicBond EPDM by the full roll we have listed the individual weights of the rolls for you here as well.

ClassicBond® Roll Size 1.2mm (Standard) 1.5mm (Premium)

3.05m x 30.5m 139kg 186kg

4.57m x 30.5m 210kg 279kg

6.10m x 30.5m 278kg 372kg

7.62m x 30.5m 349kg 465kg

9.15m x 30.5m 420kg 558kg

15.25m x 30.5m 698kg

15.25m x 15.25m 465kg

If you are interested in our Bulk Supply solution then you might want to consider the RESITRIX & Duoply EPDM systems as they lend themselves to pallet storage, are more commonly sold by the roll and both weigh under 32kg per roll.

CLASSICBOND® Materials CalculatorWe provide our merchants with all the training and support they need to start selling our products but

we also understand how important it is to just focus on the core sale and not get too caught up with the technical aspects of the system - which is why we created our Materials Calculator for CLASSICBOND®!

Designed to sit neatly within our Drop-Ship solution, our white-label calculator can be linked to from your website to allow customers to quickly create custom CLASSICBOND® roof kits in just 3 easy steps. It will

work out all the required materials (membrane, adhesives and trims) from just a few dimensions and edging details, before allowing you to take payment and place a purchase order with us for the custom kit.

Better still, our kit calculator allows your customers to save their kits, providing a great retention feature by allowing them to compare prices and quickly resume their purchase with you at a later date. Your sales team will be kept informed about these saved kits, allowing them to follow up prospective sales to maximise the

impact this tool can have on your business.
