Skyguard EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane

Skyguard EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane

One-Piece Shed & Garden Room Rubber Roof Covering

Skyguard is a 1.0mm thick EPDM rubber roofing membrane designed as a long-lasting alternative to traditional shed felt.

Hand cut to size and supplied in a single piece, Skyguard provides a clean, modern, fully waterproof finish for sheds, garden rooms and timber outbuildings - without the layering, nails and short lifespan of felt.

Backed by a 20 year membrane guarantee and with a life expectancy of over 50 years, Skyguard is built to outlast your shed.

Key Benefits

  • 1.0mm thick EPDM rubber membrane

  • 50+ year life expectancy
  • Fully waterproof
  • UV stable
  • Maintenance free
  • Modern, clean appearance
  • Faster and easier than felt
Why Choose Skyguard Over Shed Felt?

Traditional shed felt:

  • Requires multiple layers
  • Is fixed with tack nails (creating pinholes)
  • Can crack, blister and split
  • Often needs replacing every few years

Skyguard EPDM membrane:

  • Is fully adhered (no nail penetrations)
  • Supplied in one continuous sheet
  • Will not tear, blister or crack
  • Remains flexible for decades
  • Requires virtually no maintenance
  • Lasts 50+ years

Because the membrane is bonded rather than nailed, there are no perforations through the roof covering, reducing the risk of leaks significantly.

Perfect for DIY Projects

Skyguard is designed with homeowners and DIYers in mind.

It is:

  • Lightweight
  • Easy to handle
  • Simple to trim
  • Quick to install

When used with Skyguard Water-Based Deck Adhesive and Bond & Seal Mastic, installation is straightforward and does not require specialist tools or heat.

Many customers find it faster and easier to install than felt - with far better long-term results.

Supplied in One Piece

Each Skyguard membrane is:

  • Pre-joined
  • Cut to size
  • Supplied as a single sheet

There is no need for on-site joining, and Skyguard is not compatible with joining tapes.

If your roof exceeds available sheet sizes or requires seam joining, we recommend upgrading to ClassicBond EPDM, which is suitable for larger and regulation-compliant projects.

Important: Building Regulation Compliance

Skyguard is ideal for:

  • Sheds
  • Summerhouses
  • Garden rooms
  • Log cabins
  • Outbuildings

However, it is not suitable for roofs that must meet building regulation fire requirements (BROOF(t4)).

If your project requires full building regulation compliance, consider ClassicBond EPDM in 1.2mm or 1.5mm thickness.

A Roofer’s Perspective

For sheds and garden buildings, Skyguard is a massive upgrade from felt.

It installs cleanly, avoids nail holes and lasts decades instead of years. For DIY garden projects where building regulation compliance isn’t required, it’s a practical, long-term solution.
