  • Elevate Isogard HD Cover Board

    The ISOGARD HD cover board spreads the load and protects the insulation boards underneath. It combines impact resistance and ease of installation in a single durable product. It is also an excellent choice for refurbishment projects, used as recovery board over the existing roofing system. Elevate Isogard HD Cover Board The ISOGARD HD cover board spreads the load and protects the insulation boards underneath. It combines impact resistance and ease of installation in a single durable product. It is also an excellent choice for refurbishment projects, used as recovery board over the existing roofing system. < Back Next > ISOGARD™ HD ADDED STRENGTH AND PROTECTION FOR FLAT ROOFS Elevate’s ISOGARD HD cover board is a 12.7 mm thick, high-density, closed-cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a mineral coated fiberglass facer. When foot traffic on the roof is heavy, mineral wool insulation runs the risk of being crushed or, in the case of plastic foam insulation, the adhesion of the facer to the foam can be affected. The ISOGARD HD cover board spreads the load and protects the boards underneath. It combines impact resistance and ease of installation in a single durable product. It is also an excellent choice for refurbishment projects, used as recovery board over the existing roofing system. ISOGARD HD can be applied over existing as well as new roof surfaces and under fully adhered or mechanically attached single-ply roofing membranes. Features and benefits Outstanding performance ISOGARD HD has the highest thermal performance of any 12 mm rigid cover board and is resistant to extreme weather conditions. It has a superior wind uplift performance, lays flat and requires fewer fasteners per board compared to 25 mm insulation boards. Lightweight A single 1.22 m x 2.25 m ISOGARD HD cover board weighs only 5 kg, resulting in easy handling and placement. Quick and easy to install ISOGARD HD is easy to cut and handle for quick installation around roofing details such as drains or other penetrations, reducing installation time and labor costs. High compressive strength ISOGARD HD has a compressive strength of over 800 kPa (5 to 6 times that of a normal PIR insulation board). An added measure of protection ISOGARD HD adds structural strength to the entire roofing system and helps to absorb the effects of hail, foot traffic and other potentially damaging impacts. It can also enhance the fire performance of the roofing system Durable When installed correctly, ISOGARD HD will last for the lifetime of the building. Environmentally friendly ISOGARD HD is composed of mold-resistant material that does not support the growth of damage-causing fungi and bacteria. The board is manufactured with a 100% fiberglass, mold and moisture resistant facer and it contains more than 9% of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled combined content. The foam technology uses a HCFC-free blowing agent with a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) and zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential). Elevate Isogard HD Cover Board Data Sheet Download Frequently Asked Questions How does ISOGARD HD protect the roof build-up? The high-density cover board spreads installation and maintenance loads over a wider area and provides added resistance to hail, dropped tools and other impacts. It also creates a stable surface above compatible insulation or an approved existing roof. Can ISOGARD HD be used on refurbishment projects? Yes, it can be used as a recovery board in technically suitable overlay systems. The existing waterproofing, insulation, deck, moisture condition, fastener pull-out resistance and fire build-up must be assessed before an overlay is specified. What is its compressive strength? Elevate states a compressive strength of more than 800 kPa, approximately five to six times that of a normal PIR insulation board. This improves impact and point-load resistance but does not replace structural support for plant, pavers or concentrated loads. Why use a thin cover board rather than additional insulation? A cover board is selected primarily to improve durability, surface stability and system performance, not simply to increase insulation thickness. Thermal targets should be met with the designed insulation layer, while the cover board performs its own protective role. Can it be used with adhered and mechanically attached membranes? ISOGARD HD can form part of approved adhered and mechanically attached roof systems. Adhesives, fasteners, plates, membrane compatibility and the complete tested or warranted assembly must be confirmed for the project.

What roofing system is best suited for a project in Tipperary? 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.

  • Rhenofol CG Membrane

    Rhenofol CG is a glass reinforced roofing membrane. Rhenfol CG has successfully passed all FLL testing making it ideal for use underneath a green roof or a ballast roof. Rhenofol CG Membrane Rhenofol CG is a glass reinforced roofing membrane. Rhenfol CG has successfully passed all FLL testing making it ideal for use underneath a green roof or a ballast roof. < Back Next > QBM are UK suppliers for Rhenofol CG, a reinforced pvc roofing membrane especially designed for Green Roofs and Ballast Roofs. Rhenofol is manufactured by FDT (FlachDach Technologie GmbH- ‘Flat Roof Technology’) FDT is Europe’s leading single ply roofing membrane manufacturer with manufacturing plants in Mannheim and Hemsbach in Germany. FDT launched Europe’s first singly-ply roofing membrane 70 years ago. Rhenofol CG is a glass reinforced roofing membrane.

Non-Shrinking, root resistant and resistant to perforation. Ideal for new build green roof projects. Single-ply with reliable sealing of seams Applied without naked flame Completely recyclable roofing product BBA Approved BBA Service Life Expectancy of 40 + years. Rhenofol CV & Rhenofol CG EPD Download Rhenofol CG Data Sheet Download Rhenofol Brochure Download Frequently Asked Questions Why does Rhenofol CG contain a glass-fleece inlay? The internal glass fleece provides dimensional stability, making the membrane suitable for loose-laid applications beneath approved ballast, paving or green-roof layers. Protection layers are still required where specified. Is Rhenofol CG resistant to root penetration? FDT identifies Rhenofol CG as root and rhizome resistant for suitable green-roof systems and references FLL testing. The complete roof must also include protection, drainage, growing medium and inspection provisions. Does it replace a separate root barrier? Within an approved Rhenofol CG green-roof build-up, the waterproofing membrane can also provide the required root-resistance function. Compatibility with vegetation type, joints, penetrations and project warranty conditions must be confirmed. How is the membrane installed? Rhenofol CG is normally loose laid and secured by approved ballast or overburden. Adjacent sheets and details are still joined by hot-air welding or another FDT-approved method, and wind resistance must be demonstrated for the complete system. Is Rhenofol CG compatible with bitumen? Rhenofol CG is a plasticised PVC membrane and is not directly compatible with bitumen. A suitable separation layer or approved build-up is required where it is installed near bituminous materials.

  • Elevate Modular Roofing

    Engineered and manufactured for the fast-paced demands of today’s modular building systems, Elevate EPDM Modular Roofing Systems offer significant advantages over other modular roofing products. Elevate Modular Roofing Engineered and manufactured for the fast-paced demands of today’s modular building systems, Elevate EPDM Modular Roofing Systems offer significant advantages over other modular roofing products. < Back Next > From construction site trailers to school buildings and medical centres, the advent of modular building technologies has hastened construction schedules and expanded design options for a wide variety of building types. Through their increased production efficiencies and cost economies, modular building systems offer an alternative to traditional construction projects – an alternative that means more effective utilization of capital resources, more building options and more flexibility for future expansion and construction designs. For optimum performance and economies of scale, each component of modular design requires maximum construction efficiency. Roofing is no exception, which is why we offer a complete line of quality roofing products and systems for modular buildings. Engineered and manufactured for the fast-paced demands of today’s modular building systems, Elevate EPDM Modular Roofing Systems offer significant advantages over other modular roofing products. At QBM we not only stock all you need for any modular Roofing system in our North Dublin facility, we also provide a complete back up service and as much advice you require. Modular roofing features & benefits The combination of the EPDM membrane, the accessories and the proven seaming technology offers a unique combination of features & benefits which have been demonstrated on thousands of commercial, industrial and residential rooftops across Ireland. Lightweight panels provide fast and easy installation in a factory environment Diverse panel sizes provide the best alternative for your modular needs while the variety of installation methods allow installation both in a factory environment and in-situ onto different supports Superior weatherability, even in the harshest conditions, results in long-term performance and owner satisfaction Elongation of over 300% allowing the membrane to easily accommodate the typical movements of building components Superior durability and longevity Quick and easy installation High flexibility and elasticity Low life-cycle cost Sustainable roofing solution Modular roofing material available from our Dublin facility. Modular Roofing Brochure Download Frequently Asked Questions Which modular buildings can use Elevate EPDM roofing? RubberGard EPDM can be used on many temporary and permanent modular buildings, including education, healthcare, offices and accommodation. The roof deck, module dimensions, transport method, fire build-up and final site connections must be assessed for each project. Why is EPDM useful in modular construction? Large flexible sheets can allow individual modules to be waterproofed in controlled factory conditions. Elevate seaming products can then be used to connect module joints on site, subject to approved detailing and inspection. How does EPDM accommodate movement? RubberGard EPDM has high elongation and remains flexible over a wide temperature range. The membrane can accommodate normal building movement, but module interfaces, structural joints and differential movement still require purpose-designed details. Can the roof be installed in the factory and on site? Yes. Main module areas may be completed off site, with final seams, perimeter details and interfaces installed after transport and assembly. The sequence should protect the membrane during lifting, transport and site works. Can modular EPDM roofs be altered later? Elevate promotes EPDM for adaptable modular buildings because compatible materials can be used to reseal connections and local changes. Any later relocation, extension or modification should be surveyed and detailed by competent roofing and structural professionals.

To stop, release the enter key. Protect Your Home with Ireland's Most Trusted Residential Roofing Materials Irish homeowners planning flat roof replacements, extensions, or new builds face a bewildering array of roofing material options, many making bold claims about performance and longevity. QBM cuts through the confusion by supplying only proven residential roofing systems from Europe's leading manufacturers, backed by comprehensive warranties and decades of field performance in Irish weather conditions. Our range includes high-performance EPDM rubber membranes, advanced single ply PVC systems, liquid waterproofing solutions, and traditional reinforced bitumen materials, giving your chosen contractor access to the exact specification needed for your project. Whether you're replacing the roof on a rear extension, waterproofing a new garage, or upgrading a dated flat roof on your period property, we supply the complete system components that professional installers trust to deliver lasting protection. The performance gap between premium roofing materials and budget alternatives becomes painfully apparent five to ten years after installation, when cheaper systems begin showing premature degradation, whilst quality membranes continue performing as new. QBM supplies residential roofing materials that are engineered to withstand Ireland's challenging climate, from driving Atlantic rain and coastal salt exposure through to thermal cycling and UV radiation that degrades inferior products. Our Elevate RubberCover EPDM systems offer exceptional flexibility and weather resistance with manufacturer warranties extending to 20 years, whilst liquid waterproofing solutions provide seamless protection for complex roof geometries where traditional sheet materials struggle. Every product we supply carries relevant certifications, including BBA approval and CE marking, providing homeowners with confidence that materials meet stringent European performance standards. Selecting appropriate roofing materials requires understanding your property's specific requirements, from substrate compatibility and insulation needs through to aesthetic considerations and long-term maintenance implications. Our Dublin trade counter team provides expert guidance to contractors and homeowners alike, helping match roofing systems to project requirements without overselling unnecessary components or premium specifications. We maintain comprehensive technical data sheets, installation guides, and system warranties for every product line, ensuring your contractor has the information needed to specify and install materials correctly. For homeowners managing their own projects or seeking second opinions on contractor recommendations, we offer honest advice grounded in decades of roofing materials experience across thousands of Irish residential properties. Material availability can make or break project schedules, particularly during Ireland's limited dry weather windows when roofing work becomes viable. QBM maintains substantial stocks of residential roofing materials at our Baldoyle facility for immediate collection by contractors, eliminating the delays associated with special orders or back-ordered products. Our comprehensive accessory range includes primers, adhesives, flashings, trims, insulation boards, and drainage components, enabling contractors to source complete system packages from a single supplier. This one-stop approach streamlines procurement, reduces site visits, and ensures material compatibility across the entire roofing assembly. Quality Building Materials has built its reputation by supplying products that perform as promised and supporting both trade customers and homeowners with honest, practical advice. We work exclusively with manufacturers whose warranties mean something, whose technical support responds when needed, and whose products deliver the longevity that makes flat roof investments worthwhile. Our relationships with leading brands like Elevate, coupled with our technical knowledge of residential applications, mean we can guide material selection for projects ranging from modest shed roofs through to architect-designed contemporary homes. When you purchase residential roofing materials from QBM, you're accessing not just products but the expertise and support that ensures your roofing project succeeds. Got a Question?

We can recommend approved installers for specific systems if needed. Which roofing material is best for a typical Irish residential flat roof? For most residential flat roofs in Ireland, EPDM rubber membranes offer the best balance of performance, longevity, and value. Systems like Elevate RubberCover provide exceptional weather resistance, flexibility across temperature ranges, and proven durability with warranties extending to 20 years. EPDM handles Ireland's wet climate particularly well and remains flexible throughout its service life, unlike some materials that become brittle with age. However, the optimal choice depends on factors including roof size, substrate type, access constraints, and budget. Our trade counter team can recommend appropriate systems based on your specific project requirements. Can homeowners purchase materials directly from QBM, or is it trade-only? Homeowners are welcome to purchase residential roofing materials directly from QBM's Dublin trade counter. Whilst many of our customers are professional contractors, we regularly supply materials to homeowners managing their own projects or working with builders who prefer clients to source specialist roofing materials directly. We provide the same expert advice and technical support to all customers, helping ensure appropriate material selection regardless of who's installing. For complex systems requiring specialist installation techniques, we'll advise honestly about whether professional installation is recommended. How long do residential flat roofing materials typically last in Irish weather conditions? Quality residential roofing materials properly installed can achieve service lives of 20-30 years in Irish conditions. EPDM rubber systems typically last 20-25 years, whilst premium PVC and PIB membranes can exceed 25-30 years. Traditional built-up felt systems generally provide 15-20 years of service. These lifespans assume proper installation, adequate substrate preparation, and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping drainage outlets clear. Cheaper materials or poor installation dramatically reduce longevity, often resulting in premature failures within 5-10 years. Material quality and installation expertise are both critical to achieving expected service life. What's included when purchasing a complete roofing system from QBM? A complete residential roofing system from QBM includes all components needed for professional installation: the primary waterproofing membrane, appropriate primers or adhesives, flashing materials for upstands and penetrations, edge trims, sealants, and fixing components specific to the chosen system. We also supply compatible insulation boards, vapour control layers, and drainage accessories when required. Our trade counter team can calculate material quantities based on your roof dimensions and help ensure you purchase everything needed to complete the installation. All products come with manufacturer technical data sheets and installation guidelines. Looking for Your Ideal Roofing Product? Get in Touch with Us Today. Get in Touch

We are your local specialist roofing supplies company based in Baldoyle, Dublin 13, delivering nationwide across Ireland with next working day dispatch on orders placed before noon. If your project involves a flat roof extension, a commercial re-roofing, or a domestic repair, our team can help you specify the right system and get the materials to your site. QBM is a supplier, not a roofing contractor. We do not install or repair roofs. Since 2012, our focus has been on supplying high-performance roofing materials to contractors, builders, architects, engineers, and experienced specifiers, backed by technical guidance and reliable nationwide delivery. Everything ships from our Baldoyle warehouse in Dublin, which is how we maintain consistent stock levels and product availability for customers right across Ireland. What Roofing Products Does QBM Supply? Our product range covers everything you may need for your next roofing project in Rathmines. This includes, but is not limited to; Single Ply Membranes : EPDM rubber membranes (Elevate RubberCover) and PVC systems (FDT Rhenofol) for flat roofing on residential and commercial buildings. Reinforced Bitumen Systems : Modified bitumen membranes from Nord Bitumi, suitable for traditional flat roof construction and refurbishment. Liquid Waterproofing : Seamless liquid-applied systems for complex roof geometries where sheet membranes are difficult to detail. Standing Seam Metal Roofing : Kalzip and Vestis metal systems for pitched and architectural roofing projects. Roof Drainage and Accessories : Rainwater outlets (b/s/t and Harmer), edge trims, pipe flashings, roof vents, primers, adhesives, and sealants.

Professional Roofing Tools : Specialist hand tools by Freund, hot air welding equipment, and sheet metal folding machines for on-site fabrication. Facade Systems : Kalzip FC rainscreen facade panels and airtight membranes from Riwega. One of the practical advantages of ordering from QBM is the ability to source a complete roofing system from one supplier. Membrane, insulation, drainage, trims, adhesives, and tools all come from the same place, which helps ensure material compatibility and avoids warranty issues that can arise from mixing components from different manufacturers. Approvals and certifications vary by product and system. Where required for building control submissions, tender documentation, or specification work, we can supply the relevant data sheets and certification information for the specific products you are using. Delivering Across Rathmines from Our Baldoyle Warehouse We ship our roofing products across Rathmines and the rest of Ireland from our warehouse in Baldoyle, Dublin 13. Orders placed before midday are dispatched the same day for next working day delivery. For larger construction projects requiring multiple loads or phased deliveries, our logistics team can coordinate scheduled drops to keep your site supplied as the programme progresses. Our trade counter in Baldoyle is also open for collection if a project timeline is tight or you happen to be passing through Rathmines. Contractors, builders, and specifiers working in Rathmines choose to source from QBM rather than a general builders merchant for many reasons. Stock availability . One of the more frustrating parts of any construction project is waiting on materials. We hold substantial stock at our Baldoyle warehouse across the main product categories, which means fewer delays and less time spent chasing back orders. For Rathmines-based contractors, that translates to materials arriving when they are supposed to. Technical support and system guidance . Our team can help with product selection, material compatibility, and full system specification. That includes advising on the right membrane for a given exposure or build-up, recommending compatible accessories, and helping you avoid the kind of mixed-system issues that cause problems later. If you are tendering or pricing a job in Dublin, we can assist with take-offs. Documentation for submissions . We can supply the data sheets, certification information, and product documentation needed for building control submissions, tender packages, and specification work. If you need something for compliance, ask us, and we will get it to you. Nationwide delivery from a single Dublin hub . Operating from one warehouse means consistent stock visibility and a single point of contact for your orders, wherever in Ireland your site is. Frequently Asked Questions Does QBM deliver roofing materials directly to sites in Rathmines? Yes. We deliver across Rathmines, from our warehouse in Balydoyle, Dublin 13. Orders confirmed before noon go out the same day for next working day arrival. Larger projects requiring coordinated or phased deliveries can be arranged through our logistics team.

We stock, supply and deliver a wide range of roofing materials and products to all local customers in Rathmines. Can QBM recommend a roofing contractor in Rathmines? QBM is a materials supplier and does not directly employ roofing contractors. That said, we work with installers across Ireland who are familiar with the systems we supply. If you need a steer towards experienced roofers in Rathmines 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 Rathmines? 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. Request a Quote or Speak to Our Technical Team If you have an upcoming or ongoing project and are looking to request a quote or speak to our technical team about the right specification for your job, call us on 01 839 1170, email info@qbm.ie , or visit our trade counter in Baldoyle, Dublin 13.

  • EPDM Facade Membrane Systems

    Elevate Giscolene F EPDM is a strip of EPDM membrane used to seal facades, around window frames or behind various types of claddings. EPDM Facade Membrane Systems Elevate Giscolene F EPDM is a strip of EPDM membrane used to seal facades, around window frames or behind various types of claddings. < Back Next > Elevate Giscolene F EPDM is a strip of EPDM membrane used to seal facades, around window frames or behind various types of claddings. The Giscolene F EPDM can also be used as thru-wall flashing in masonry walls to prevent ground water to move up in the walls or to guide rain water out of cavity walls in both commercial and residential buildings. Elevate offers a full line of accessories that allow Giscolene F EPDM to be installed to a variety of surfaces. Features And Benefits Over 300% elasticity which allows high tolerance to structural or thermal movements of supports Good UV resistance (thickness dependent) Wide range of vapor permeability Compatible with most building materials Outstanding life expectancy High resistance to extreme temperatures (-45°C to 130°C) Suitable for long-term contact with water or damp Low environmental impact Quick and easy installation Contributes to building airtightness Lightweight (1 mm = 1 kg/m²) Elevate Giscolene F EPDM Brochure Download Elevate Giscolene F EPDM Data Sheet Download Frequently Asked Questions Where is Giscolene F EPDM normally used? Giscolene F is used to seal façade junctions, window and door perimeters, concealed areas behind cladding and selected cavity-wall or through-wall flashing details. The membrane, adhesive and termination method must be selected for the supporting material and exposure. How does its elasticity help at façade junctions? Elevate states that Giscolene F can elongate by more than 300%, allowing it to accommodate normal thermal and structural movement within the limits of the detail. Movement joints and large differential movements still require a properly designed joint arrangement. What temperature range can Giscolene F resist? Elevate publishes resistance to temperatures from approximately -45°C to 130°C. These are material-performance figures and do not remove the need to follow the stated installation temperatures for adhesives, primers and sealants. Can Giscolene F be installed on different substrates? It can be used with a range of common construction materials when installed with compatible Elevate accessories. Concrete, masonry, metals, frames and boards may require different cleaning, priming, adhesive and mechanical-termination arrangements. Can Giscolene F contribute to airtightness? Yes. When continuous and correctly connected to adjoining air-control layers, the membrane can form part of the building’s airtightness strategy. Airtightness performance depends on the complete junction design and workmanship, not the EPDM strip alone.
