Waterproofing of facades
Why should you choose EPDM strips for waterproofing, airtightness and damp-proofing façades?
The waterproofing strips are ultra-high performance, suitable for any type of support
- Exceptional air- and water-tightness (water vapour transmission factor μ = 2,000,000 for EPDM/butyl)
- Can be used on any type of support for any applications linked to impermeability
- Standard sizes or made to measure
- Meets French standards
The EPDM waterproofing strips are produced by hot vulcanisation giving extreme resistance
- Maximum solidity of the welds due to the hot vulcanisation
- Excellent mechanical resistance (traction, elasticity, static puncture)
- Strip guaranteed for 10 years
- Service life of more than 50 years for the EPDM material
- Perfect resistance to UV and extreme temperatures (- 40°C to + 120°C)
An economical solution that is more environmentally friendly
- Clean, non-toxic material guaranteeing hazard-free installation
- Significantly lower labour costs
- No trimming or material loss

As a result of its experience in building waterproofing
Flexirub has been able to develop a new generation
of multi-use waterproofing stripsThroughout their life building façades are subjected to weather conditions which vary enormously: action of wind and water, thermal movements or even large variations in temperature.
Building waterproofing must therefore combine a whole series of requirements to resist these continual attacks: solidity, longevity, elasticity, resistance to bad weather and air pollution. The Flexirub waterproofing system meets all these requirements.The EPDM strips which Flexirub has developed make it possible to provide high quality waterproofing for your façades, windows and wood or masonry walls.
The EPDM strip is a light, waterproof, elastic elastomer membrane. Its formulation was developed to meet the requirements for waterproofing façades.
This system prevents rain and water from penetrating buildings and air leaks into the structure.Flexirub offers a range of EPDM waterproofing strips.
EPDM strips
The Flexirub EPDM strip for façades is a rubber-based elastomer waterproofing membrane, EPDM 1 mm, which guarantees a high water vapour transmission factor. The EPDM strip has a 2-sided textile footprint so as to obtain maximum adhesion to the support. It can be put in place with adhesive or mastic depending on the support on which this waterproofing membrane is placed.1 mm membrane
25 metre roll
10 to 60 cm wide.Advantages of EPDM strips
- Perfectly waterproof membrane
- High water vapour transmission factor
(μ = 98,000) - Adapts to the movements of the building due to the elasticity of the EPDM
EPDM/Butyl strips
The self-adhesive EPDM/Butyl strip for façades from Flexirub is a waterproofing strip made up of one 1 mm thick layer of EPDM and one adhesive layer of 0.6 mm thick Butyl. The combination of EPDM and Butyl makes it possible to obtain a 1.6 mm thick waterproofing strip with an exceptional water vapour transmission factor. In addition, the Butyl-based adhesive strips facilitate positioning when the waterproofing is being put in place.1.6 mm self-adhesive membrane

- Simple to install because of the self-adhesive Butyl
- Perfectly waterproof membrane
- High water vapour transmission factor
(μ = 98,000) - Adapts to the movements of the building due to the elasticity of the EPDM
EPDM levelling course strips
The Flexirub EPDM levelling course strip is an EPDM rubber-based elastomer waterproofing membrane. It is recommended for any type of partition and underground wall, and is a safe, perfectly waterproof protection, which prevents rising damp and absorption of water in the load-bearing walls. It is light and easy to use, adheres easily and reduces the risk of shearing.Waterproofing membrane

25 metre rolls
20 to 40 cm wide.
Thickness: 0.6 mm or 0.75 mm.Advantages of EPDM levelling course strips
- Protects the building from capillary rise coming from the ground
- Good water vapour transmission factor
(μ = 32,000) - Adapts to the movements of the building due to the elasticity of the EPDM
- Different water vapour permeability’s depending on the role of the facades
Flexirub has developed a complete system to protect façades, windows and walls against water, bad weather, and damp and also to guarantee perfect airtightness.
The waterproofing strips are recommended for all waterproofing finishing work. They are studied and designed to provide perfect air-and water-tightness. Furthermore, the EPDM/butyl strip is particularly suitable for this application, particularly in the context of RT2012. The EPDM and EPDM/butyl waterproofing strips will make it possible to create a real barrier in the façades to:- Water rising by capillarity (levelling course strip)
- Water penetration into the building (waterproofing under cladding)
- Air entering the structure (tightness of joinery work)
Watertightness under cladding
EPDM strips are ideal for incorporating into metal or concrete constructions. The EPDM strips are placed between the metal wall and the cladding (wood, metal, etc.).Levelling course strip
EPDM levelling course strips are ideal for cutting off rising damp by capillarity and ensuring impermeability to air and wind. In the case of a house with a wood frame, the strip is put in place between the walls of the basement and the sill plate of the wooden structure.Impermeability of joinery work
When placed around the joinery work the EPDM strips make it possible to guarantee the air- and water-tightness of a construction. Where there is insulation by the exterior, the insulation covers the EPDM strips fixed around the joinery work.
Flexirub offers you a range of professional accessories to facilitate installation, and finishings for the made-to-measure EPDM membranes.
