EPDM Waterproofing in Dubai & Across the UAE
EPDM waterproofing is a flexible, rubber-based solution ideal for exposed roofs, gutters, planters, and podium slabs.
At Salman Syed Technical Services, we supply and install premium EPDM membranes across Dubai and the UAE. These durable sheets resist UV, ozone, and temperature fluctuations, making them a smart choice for long-term outdoor protection in the Gulf climate.
Why EPDM Waterproofing Is Trusted in the UAE
Unlike liquid-applied coatings, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a single-ply rubber membrane that maintains flexibility without cracking. Itโs ideal for large areas where seamless, sheet-based waterproofing is preferred. EPDM is especially popular for green roofs, solar panel installations, and roofs with complex detailing.
Also, explore combo roof systems if youโre looking for integrated insulation with waterproofing.
