What is EPDM?

EPDM Rubber (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer) is comparable to Neoprene Rubber, however it surpasses it in performance and is a more eco-friendly option. Specifically, it has outstanding resistance to abrasion, hydraulic fluids, alkalis, heat, ozone, and weather.

How Many Do I Need?

  • If Joist Spacing is 24” OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16” OC along the joist and should not exceed 24” OC.
  • If Joist Spacing is between 12” and 16” OC, U Boats should be installed at a minimum of 16” OC along the joist and should not exceed 32” OC.
  • TIP: If Joist Spacing is 16” OC with U Boats installed at 16” OC on joist, multiply the total square footage of your room by 2/3 to calculate approximate U Boats needed.
