Carlisle Sure-Seal EPDM FR Non-Reinforced Membrane, 45-60 mil Black Fire-Retardant Rubber Roofing Roll
Carlisle Sure-Seal EPDM FR is a non-reinforced, fire-retardant synthetic rubber roofing membrane for low-slope new construction and re-roofing. Sold per roll in 45-mil and 60-mil thicknesses, in widths up to 50 ft and lengths up to 200 ft, all in black. Choose the size matching your roof field, then pair with Carlisle flashing accessories, primers and tape for seams and terminations.
Key Features:

- Proven weathering: Carlisle EPDM has 50 years of proven field performance with 41,580 kJ/m2 total radiant exposure without cracking or crazing.
- Factory-applied tape option: Select rolls are offered with optional factory-applied 3 in. or 6 in. tape seams to improve workmanship quality.
- Wide roll sizes: Membrane is available in thicknesses of 45-mil (1.14 mm) and 60-mil (1.52 mm), widths up to 50 ft and lengths up to 200 ft.
- Cold-climate choice: Dark-colored EPDM is the smart choice in colder climates.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Coverage depends on the roll chosen: for example, one .060" x 20' x 100' roll covers 2,000 sq ft of roof field before overlap allowances. Size rolls to the roof section, allowing for lap area on seamed rolls.
Fit and Compatibility:
Part of the Carlisle Sure-Seal EPDM system: pair with Carlisle HP-250 or Low-VOC primers, Pressure-Sensitive cured cover strips, flashing accessories and SecurTAPE. Tape-equipped rolls are seamed per Carlisle's taped-system requirements; non-taped rolls are seamed per standard EPDM practice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is included in one order?
A: One roll of Sure-Seal EPDM FR membrane in the thickness, width and length you select; flashing, primers and adhesives are sold separately.
Q: Which thickness should I choose?
A: Both 45-mil and 60-mil are offered; 60-mil is commonly specified where extra durability is wanted, while 45-mil suits standard low-slope applications.
Q: What does FR mean?
A: Fire Retardant: the compound is formulated to inhibit flame spread and meet or exceed code body testing criteria for fire-retardant roofing membranes.
Q: Can this membrane be taped?
A: Yes. Several variants come with factory-applied 3 in. or 6 in. tape; field seams on other rolls follow Carlisle's standard seaming methods.
Q: How much area does a roll cover?
A: Multiply the roll width by its length; a 20 ft x 100 ft roll covers 2,000 sq ft nominal, minus lap allowances.
Q: Why black EPDM?
A: Carlisle states dark-colored EPDM is the smart choice in colder climates.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For cold-climate low-slope roofs, black 60-mil FR EPDM is a workhorse: pick 60-mil for high-traffic or exposed fields and 45-mil to control material cost. Factory-tape rolls speed seaming and reduce seam-quality risk versus hand-seamed laps, so they are worth the premium on most crews. Order Pressure-Sensitive flashing and cover strip in matching widths and the HP-250 or Low-VOC primer at the same time so detailing is not delayed.
EPDM membrane rolls are heavy and cumbersome; use mechanical handling and follow OSHA fall-protection requirements when unrolling and seaming on the roof deck.
Order Carlisle Sure-Seal EPDM FR membrane in the roll size your roof needs and complete the system with Carlisle flashing and primers.
