After carefully listening to customers far and wide, RubbaSeal, a Firestone EPDM flat roof installation and fitting specialist has proudly launched RoofUs, an online flat roofing calculator.
Created to provide ease to both trade and DIY consumers, the unique Roof Bot offers a streamlined yet uncomplicated approach when establishing what is required in a rubber roofing kit before installation.
Taking into account the details you supply, the flat-roof calculator will generate a quote based on your project and allow you to progress straight to checkout, amend the quote with additional products (if needed), or save for a later date.
Here is how it is done.
Step 1
The Roof Bot tool takes the measurements you have inputted and quickly begins to calculate the EPDM measurements needed, adding necessary excess for wastage. RoofUs will then take this into account when progressing through to picking edge trims for the project.
Step 2
Your unique EPDM measurements then bring up a multitude of options (shown below), which are suitable for any type of flat roof depending on your requirements. Here is where you can begin to personalise your flat rubber roof.
RoofUs provides you with a comprehensive range of edge types. Options of which include joining the EPDM to a wall, this brings the edge up against the wall of the building. A slope off trim, that allows water to disperse from the flat roof as opposed to it gathering and causing damage. There are also options such as a rubber join edge, which joins rubber roofs together, and under tiles for slated roofing or a gutted drip, that discards water to the gutter.
Trim colour can then be selected (black, anthracite or white) and EPDM thickness (1.14mm or 1.52mm), with 1.52mm being much more durable, making it invaluable for larger commercial projects. What’s more is if you’re looking to personalise your flat roof even further, there are additional options to select a skylight to bring natural light into your space, a horizontal outlet for water drainage, a pipe kit or a rainwater outlet.
Overall, RoofUs provides you with a selection of edge trim options for your flat rubber roofing kit, which takes into consideration the correct sizing to allow a reduction in wastage of materials.
Step 3
Once the correct size and the edges have been selected, you can review your bespoke, brand-spanking rubber roofing kit and either head to the checkout to purchase (which is applicable for next day delivery) or save the project as a quote for a later date.
As demonstrated, this unique and easy to use Roof Bot tool fundamentally allows customers to determine the scope of the project prior to buying their bespoke kit, thereby carrying out all the heavy lifting for them.
DIY’ers can sit back and relax by letting RoofUs calculate their projects by quantifying their roof in length and width regardless of the shape of the roof that is in need of cover. Planning your next flat roofing project couldn’t be easier and you’ll be saving from wastage at the same time. Simply head to RoofUs to get started.
