What Is the Anticipated Lifespan of EPDM Rubber Roofs?

• EPDM rubber roofs are designed to last for up to 50 years.
• EPDM has been in commercial use since the 1960s, and a significant number of those roofs are still in use today.

Will My EPDM Membrane Contain Seams?

• All EPDM membranes are initially supplied to us with manufacturer's seams. The presence of these seams in your EPDM membrane may vary depending on the spacing of the seams and the size of the section cut from the roll. In some cases, there may be no manufacturer's seams in the membrane.
• It's important to note that these seams are inherent to all EPDM membranes, whether it's Firestone, ClassicBond, or SKYGUARD. While they are unavoidable, the significant advantage lies in our commitment to delivering the membrane to you as one continuous piece, as clearly stated on our website. This eliminates the need for on-site seams, ensuring that workmanship concerns are minimized.

Is Dry Weather a Prerequisite for EPDM Roofing Installation?

• To ensure the effective bonding of EPDM membranes to the roof deck, it is imperative that the substrate is completely dry before installation. The adhesives and primers used in EPDM roofing applications require a dry surface to properly adhere the rubber. EPDM materials will not form a secure bond on surfaces that are wet or damp. It is crucial to consider that any trapped moisture within the deck may vaporize and potentially have an adverse impact on the membrane's performance.

How to Apply Skyguard Bond & Seal Mastic?

• Using Skyguard Bond & Seal Mastic is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for easy application:

• Begin by removing the nib of the tube using a pair of scissors.

• Attach the product to an adhesive gun for controlled dispensing.

• When applying the product along the deck's perimeter, make sure to lift the edges of the EPDM membrane away from the area.

• Apply a consistent amount of the product to the substrate, ensuring an even bead along the perimeter.

• Once the product is applied, allow the edge of the EPDM membrane to come into contact with the mastic.

• Use your hands to press the membrane firmly into the mastic, ensuring it is securely bonded.

• Before proceeding with any further installation, carefully inspect the membrane to ensure it is fully bonded around the perimeter. This is crucial before moving on to the application of timber cladding or trims.

How to Apply Skyguard Water Based Deck Adhesive:

• Using Skyguard Water Based Deck Adhesive is straightforward and hassle-free. Here's how to apply it effectively:

• Skyguard Water Based Deck Adhesive is ready for use directly from the container, making it a convenient and straightforward product.

• To ensure even and consistent distribution across the roof deck, we recommend using a roller for the application.

• For a seamless and effortless application, consider purchasing our 100mm Mini Roller in conjunction with this product. It will make the process quick and efficient.

What Temperature Range Is Suitable for Rubber Roof Installation?

• For EPDM installation, we advise working in temperatures of at least 5 degrees Celsius. This guideline is important because the water-based adhesive (WBA) used can be vulnerable to freezing and potential failure in colder conditions.
