Ireland's Most Trusted Commercial Roofing Supplier – Complete Systems, Expert Support, Guaranteed Results Commercial property owners and contractors across Ireland trust QBM to deliver roofing systems that protect their investments for decades to come. Our comprehensive range of commercial flat roofing solutions includes premium single-ply membranes from leading European manufacturers, reinforced bituminous systems for traditional applications, and advanced standing-seam metal roofing for architectural projects demanding both performance and aesthetics. Whether you're specifying materials for a new industrial warehouse, replacing the roof on a retail park, or upgrading a multi-storey office building, QBM stocks the complete system components you need, from membranes and insulation through to flashings, fixings, and drainage accessories. The performance demands placed on commercial roofs far exceed those of residential applications, which is why system selection requires careful consideration of exposure conditions, building use, budget constraints, and long-term maintenance implications. Our single ply PVC and EPDM membranes offer exceptional resistance to UV degradation, thermal cycling, and chemical exposure whilst remaining flexible across Ireland's temperature range. For projects requiring fire-rated specifications or where traditional aesthetics are preferred, our reinforced bitumen systems provide proven reliability backed by decades of field performance. Standing seam metal roofing delivers unmatched longevity and architectural appeal for high-profile commercial developments where roof visibility is a design consideration. QBM works exclusively with manufacturers whose products carry comprehensive third-party certifications, including FM Approvals, BBA certificates, and CE marking. These certifications provide architects, engineers, and building owners with the confidence that specified systems will meet stringent performance criteria for weather resistance, fire safety, and structural integrity. Many of our commercial roofing systems qualify for extended warranty programmes reaching 25 years or more when installed by approved contractors using complete system components. Our technical team can assist with warranty registration, compliance documentation, and ongoing maintenance planning to protect your investment throughout its service life. Installation efficiency directly impacts project timelines and overall costs, making system selection a critical commercial decision. Modern single ply membranes can be mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or ballasted depending on substrate conditions and building constraints, offering contractors flexibility in installation methodology whilst maintaining watertight integrity. The lightweight nature of EPDM and PVC systems reduces structural loading compared to traditional built-up felt, often eliminating the need for costly structural reinforcement on refurbishment projects. For new build developments, our modular roofing solutions integrate seamlessly with building envelopes, accelerating construction programmes and enabling earlier handover dates. QBM's Dublin trade counter maintains substantial stocks of commercial roofing materials for immediate collection, whilst our logistics network ensures reliable delivery across Ireland for larger projects requiring multiple loads. Our relationships with leading manufacturers mean we can access specialist products and bespoke fabrications when standard components don't meet project requirements. From initial system selection and material take-offs through to technical support during installation and post-completion inspections, QBM provides the complete service commercial contractors and property developers need to deliver roofing projects on time, on budget, and built to last. Got a Question? Find the Answer Here What is the typical lifespan of commercial roofing systems in Ireland? High-quality commercial roofing systems properly installed and maintained can achieve service lives of 25-40 years, depending on the membrane type and exposure conditions. Single-ply PVC and PIB membranes typically offer the longest service life due to superior UV resistance and chemical stability. EPDM systems provide excellent durability for 20-30 years, whilst reinforced bitumen systems generally last 20-25 years. Regular maintenance inspections and prompt repairs of minor damage are essential to achieving maximum lifespan from any commercial roofing system. Which commercial roofing system is most cost-effective for warehouses and industrial buildings? For large industrial roofs, mechanically fastened EPDM systems often provide the best value proposition when considering initial cost, installation speed, and long-term performance. These systems require minimal substrate preparation, can be installed quickly by experienced crews, and deliver reliable waterproofing at competitive rates per square metre. However, building-specific factors, including roof configuration, existing substrate condition, and warranty requirements, should inform the final system selection. Our technical team can provide comparative costings for your specific project. Can commercial roofing systems be installed during the winter months in Ireland? Many modern commercial roofing systems can be installed year-round with appropriate weather precautions. Single-ply membranes like PVC and EPDM can typically be installed in temperatures as low as -5°C, though productivity may be reduced in cold or wet conditions. Bituminous systems generally require minimum substrate temperatures of 5°C for proper adhesion. Standing seam metal roofing can be installed in most weather conditions as it uses mechanical fixing rather than adhesives. Project scheduling should account for Ireland's weather patterns, with contractors often planning major installations during drier spring and summer months to minimise weather delays. Do commercial roofs require regular maintenance, and what does this involve? Commercial roofs should be inspected at least twice annually, typically in spring and autumn, to identify and address minor issues before they develop into costly problems. Maintenance activities include clearing debris from drainage outlets, checking membrane condition around penetrations and upstands, inspecting flashings and edge details, and removing vegetation growth. Most manufacturers require documented maintenance records to maintain warranty coverage. Many building owners establish planned maintenance contracts with specialist roofing contractors to ensure consistent inspection schedules and prompt repair of any damage identified. What fire rating requirements apply to commercial roofing in Ireland? Commercial roofing systems in Ireland must comply with Building Regulations Part B (Fire Safety), with specific requirements varying based on building use, proximity to boundaries, and roof size. Most commercial applications require external fire performance classification of BROOF(t4) as a minimum, achieved through appropriate system design, including suitable substrate, insulation, and membrane selection. Buildings with higher fire safety requirements, such as schools, hospitals, or high-rise structures, may need enhanced specifications. All roofing products we supply carry relevant fire test certifications, and our technical team can advise on compliant system configurations for your specific application.

FC panels engage with a proprietary modular click-rail substructure, avoiding visible fasteners through the main panel face. The rails and brackets are still fixed back to a designed structural substrate. Can installation proceed from the top or bottom? The system permits installation in more than one direction, which can help site sequencing and refurbishment logistics. The chosen sequence must follow the designed panel layout, joint arrangement and access strategy. Which supporting walls can carry the system? Kalzip FC can be used with suitable concrete, masonry, steel-framed and other wall constructions through an appropriately designed bracket and rail system. Fixings, pull-out resistance, tolerances, wind loads and thermal movement require project-specific calculation. Can a damaged panel be replaced? Local panel replacement may be possible because of the click-rail arrangement. The exact removal sequence depends on the panel location, installation direction and surrounding details, and replacement colour may differ from weathered existing panels. Which finishes are suitable for exposed or coastal sites? Kalzip offers a range of coatings and metallic finishes, but suitability depends on the exposure category and warranty conditions. The designer should confirm alloy, coating, cut-edge treatment, fixings and cleaning requirements for the site.

To stop, release the enter key. Transform Your Modular Construction Timeline with Ireland's Complete Roofing and Façade Solutions The modular construction sector demands roofing solutions that match the speed, precision, and quality of off-site manufacturing. QBM has established itself as Ireland's specialist supplier of complete roofing and façade systems designed specifically for modular buildings, from rapid-deployment classrooms and medical facilities through to multi-storey residential developments and commercial offices. Our Elevate EPDM systems represent a breakthrough in modular roofing technology, with wide-width membranes available up to 15 metres that enable entire modular units to be waterproofed using a single piece of material. This eliminates joints, reduces installation time dramatically, and provides clients with the watertight integrity that modular construction schedules demand. Traditional roofing approaches struggle to keep pace with the accelerated timelines that make modular construction commercially attractive. Factory-finished roofing systems installed during the manufacturing phase can suffer transport damage, whilst site-applied systems create bottlenecks that delay project completion. QBM's modular roofing solutions bridge this gap by providing systems that can be rapidly installed on-site immediately following module placement, with full weatherproofing achieved in hours rather than days. The lightweight nature of modern EPDM and single ply membranes means no structural loading concerns, whilst cold-applied installation eliminates fire risk in occupied or partially completed buildings. For developers and main contractors operating on tight programmes, this translates directly into earlier handover dates and reduced preliminary costs. Quality assurance in modular construction extends beyond the factory floor to every component installed on site. QBM works exclusively with manufacturers whose products carry comprehensive third-party approvals, including BBA certificates, FM Global listings, and CE marking, providing the documentation trail that architects, engineers, and building control require. Our technical team understands the unique challenges of modular construction, from accommodating module joints and differential movement through to managing complex interfaces between roof zones and vertical façades. We can provide complete system specifications, detailed drawings for factory preparation works, and on-site technical support during installation to ensure every project meets both performance standards and programme deadlines. The versatility of QBM's modular roofing range extends well beyond basic waterproofing. We supply integrated systems that incorporate thermal insulation, vapour control layers, green roof substrates, and photovoltaic mounting solutions, enabling modular buildings to achieve demanding energy performance targets without compromising installation speed. Our façade waterproofing products protect vertical surfaces and module joints against driving rain whilst maintaining aesthetic requirements, with options ranging from transparent protection for render finishes through to complete cladding systems. For projects requiring fire-rated specifications, acoustic performance, or specific sustainability certifications, our manufacturers offer specialised variants backed by comprehensive test data. Whether you're a modular manufacturer seeking reliable supply partnerships, a main contractor managing a fast-track programme, or a developer specifying materials for modular construction, QBM delivers the complete package. Our Dublin facility maintains substantial stocks for immediate collection, whilst our logistics network ensures reliable delivery to manufacturing facilities and construction sites nationwide. From initial system selection and material specifications through to technical support during installation and warranty registration, QBM provides the expertise and service that keeps modular projects moving. Got a Question? Find the Answer Here Why are wide-width EPDM membranes better for modular buildings than standard roofing materials? Wide-width EPDM membranes available in rolls up to 15 metres wide can cover entire modular units without joints, eliminating the most common source of roof leaks in modular construction. This single-piece installation dramatically reduces labour time compared to traditional materials, with typical modular classroom units fully waterproofed in just a few hours. The elimination of joints also simplifies quality control and removes potential failure points that could cause problems years after installation. For modular manufacturers and contractors operating on tight schedules, this translates into faster turnaround times and greater confidence in long-term performance. Can roofing systems be installed after modules are positioned on site, or must they be factory-applied? Both approaches are viable depending on project requirements and logistics. QBM supplies systems suitable for either factory application during manufacturing or rapid site installation following module positioning. Many clients prefer site installation as it avoids transport damage to completed roofs and allows flexibility in module configuration. Cold-applied EPDM and single-ply systems are ideal for site installation as they require no hot works, can be installed in most weather conditions, and achieve full weatherproofing within hours. Our technical team can advise on the optimal approach for your specific project and timeline. What fire safety requirements apply to modular building roofs in Ireland? Modular buildings in Ireland must comply with Building Regulations Part B (Fire Safety), with requirements varying based on building use, height, and proximity to boundaries. Educational facilities, healthcare buildings, and residential developments typically require external fire performance classification of BROOF(t4) minimum, achieved through appropriate membrane, insulation, and deck combinations. Many modular manufacturers working in sensitive sectors such as schools and hospitals specify enhanced fire-rated systems as standard. All QBM roofing products carry relevant fire test certifications, and we can provide system configurations that meet project-specific fire safety requirements. How do modular roofing systems handle module joints and differential movement? Properly specified modular roofing systems accommodate module joints and structural movement through careful detailing and appropriate material selection. Flexible EPDM membranes can bridge module joints without stress concentration, whilst purpose-designed joint covers and movement accommodators handle differential settlement between units. The key is ensuring adequate substrate preparation at module interfaces and selecting membranes with sufficient elongation properties to accommodate expected movement. Our technical team can provide detailed joint specifications and has extensive experience with various modular construction systems used across Ireland's education, healthcare, and residential sectors. What warranties are available for roofing systems on modular buildings? Modular construction projects can access the same comprehensive warranty programmes available for traditional buildings when systems are installed by approved contractors using complete manufacturer-specified components. Many EPDM and single ply systems carry insurance-backed warranties extending to 20-25 years, providing building owners with long-term protection and peace of mind. Warranty coverage typically requires documented installation procedures, regular maintenance inspections, and retention of all system components and records. QBM can facilitate warranty registration and provide the technical documentation required for warranty compliance throughout the building's service life. Looking for Your Ideal Roofing Product?

If you need a steer towards experienced roofers in Tyrone for a specific product, our team can usually help point you in the right direction. What roofing system is best suited for a project in Tyrone? The right system depends on the building type, roof geometry, exposure, and the performance requirements of the project. EPDM rubber membranes perform well across a wide range of Irish conditions because they stay flexible and resist UV degradation. However, PVC single-ply systems are often specified for commercial buildings where particular fire or chemical resistance requirements apply. The best approach is to talk to our technical team about your specific project so we can recommend a suitable system.

Ireland's Complete Supplier of Bitumen Waterproofing Systems for Commercial and Residential Projects Bitumen waterproofing has protected Irish buildings for decades, and modern modified bitumen systems continue to deliver reliable, cost-effective protection across countless applications. At QBM, we supply the full range of bituminous waterproofing products throughout Ireland, from torch-on membranes and self-adhesive systems to liquid-applied coatings and all necessary accessories. Whether you're working on a commercial flat roof in Dublin, basement waterproofing in Cork, or balcony refurbishment anywhere in between, we stock the materials and provide the technical support to get your project done right. Our bitumen systems come in two main polymer modifications, each suited to different performance requirements. SBS elastomeric membranes offer excellent flexibility and cold-weather performance, making them ideal for Irish climate conditions where freeze-thaw cycles and substrate movement occur regularly. These rubber-like membranes provide superior crack-bridging capabilities, particularly important for timber substrates and movement-prone structures. APP plastomeric systems deliver exceptional heat resistance and higher softening points, perfect for accessible roofs, high-traffic areas, or surfaces with significant sun exposure. Both types integrate seamlessly with modern insulation layers and vapour control systems to meet current building regulations. Installation flexibility matters for contractors working under different site conditions. We supply torch-on products for traditional rapid installation, self-adhesive systems for flame-free application in occupied buildings or sensitive environments, liquid-applied coatings for complex geometries and below-grade work, plus mechanically fixed and ballasted options for refurbishment projects. This range means you can select the installation method that best suits your project constraints, whether that's safety protocols, site access, substrate conditions, or installation team capabilities. Many contractors choose hybrid approaches, combining self-adhesive base sheets with torch-on cap sheets to balance installation safety with proven top-layer performance. Complete waterproofing systems require more than just membranes. QBM stocks all the components needed for professional installation: vapour control layers with aluminium reinforcement, PIR insulation boards for thermal performance, heavy-duty cap sheets with mineral finishes, anti-root membranes for green roof applications, and comprehensive accessories including preformed corners, pipe collars, edge trims, primers, mastics, and drainage outlets. We work with leading manufacturers to provide materials suitable for flat roofing, basement tanking, car park decks, balconies, terraces, and below-grade structures. Our inventory covers everything from light-duty systems for basic applications through to premium products with extended warranties for demanding commercial projects. Contact our technical team to discuss your specific waterproofing requirements. We'll help you select the right bitumen system based on your substrate type, application method preferences, performance standards, and budget parameters. With stock available for immediate dispatch and delivery throughout Ireland, QBM keeps your projects moving forward without delays. From single-layer felt replacements to complex multi-component systems, we supply the complete range of bituminous waterproofing solutions Irish contractors rely on. Got a Question? Find the Answer Here What is the difference between SBS and APP modified bitumen membranes? SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) modification creates elastomeric "rubberised" bitumen with excellent flexibility and cold weather performance, ideal for Irish climates where temperature fluctuations cause substrate movement. APP (atactic polypropylene) modification produces plastomeric bitumen with higher heat resistance and softening points, performing better in heat-exposed applications. SBS excels at crack bridging and low-temperature flexibility, whilst APP offers superior dimensional stability under thermal stress. Most Irish projects favour SBS for its elasticity, whilst APP suits applications requiring maximum heat resistance or accessible roof surfaces experiencing regular traffic and thermal loading. Can bitumen waterproofing systems be used for basement applications? Yes, bituminous waterproofing systems excel at basement and below-grade applications when properly specified. External tanking, applying waterproofing to the outside of basement walls before backfilling, provides optimal protection against groundwater and hydrostatic pressure. Bitumen thick coatings (both 1K and 2K formulations) work particularly well for these applications, applying by brush or trowel to concrete or masonry substrates. Protection boards over the waterproofing prevent damage during backfilling. The system must accommodate expected hydrostatic pressures and include proper drainage where applicable. Liquid-applied bitumen products handle complex geometries and details more easily than sheet membranes in below-grade environments. How long do bitumen waterproofing membranes typically last? High-quality polymer-modified bitumen membranes typically last 20-30 years or longer with minimal maintenance when properly installed and detailed. Premium systems with heavy-duty reinforcement can exceed 30 years. Service life depends on several factors: membrane quality and thickness, reinforcement type, exposure conditions, substrate stability, installation quality, and maintenance. Systems protected from UV exposure and mechanical damage (beneath paving or green roofs) often outlast exposed membranes. Regular inspections and prompt repair of any damage extend the lifespan significantly. Many manufacturers offer 10-20 year warranties on specific systems, though actual performance often exceeds warranted periods. What preparation does the substrate require before bitumen membrane installation? Substrates must be clean, dry, stable, and free from loose materials, dust, oils, or other contaminants that might prevent proper adhesion. Remove all debris, protruding nails, or mortar residues mechanically. Concrete surfaces should be fully cured, moisture-tested where appropriate, and primed with suitable bituminous primers to seal porosity and improve adhesion. Timber decks need secure boarding without movement, with boards properly fixed and joints supported. Fill cracks or depressions with appropriate materials before membrane application. Different substrate types require specific primers; consult manufacturer guidelines. Inadequate preparation remains a leading cause of waterproofing failure, so invest time in ensuring substrates meet specification requirements before membrane installation begins. Are bitumen waterproofing systems suitable for green roof applications? Yes, specialised anti-root bitumen membranes are specifically designed for green roof systems. These membranes contain additives that prevent root penetration without harming vegetation, tested to EN 1394 standards, confirming resistance to root growth, humic acids, and fertilisers commonly present in green roof environments. The bitumen layer sits beneath drainage layers, moisture retention mats, and growing media, providing reliable waterproofing that won't be compromised by plant roots. Once green roofs are established, accessing the waterproofing membrane for repairs becomes difficult, making the selection of appropriate root-resistant products essential. QBM supplies anti-root membranes suitable for both extensive sedum systems and more intensive planting designs across Ireland. Looking for Your Ideal Roofing Product? Get in Touch with Us Today.
