Things to be aware of:
• The prepared roof surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust and contaminants (bitumen, oil, etc).
• Always countersink the screw holes in the roof deck, and sand the joins, to create a flat surface to apply the One Piece EPDM membrane to. Your EPDM flat roofs will be smooth and smart!• Firmly press the membrane into 90 degree angle changes. This will avoid the membrane pulling-away, known as 'tenting', as you lift it up and onto wall upstands.
• Always check Contact Bonding Adhesive is touch dry before applying the membrane. This will prevent any gas bubbles from forming underneath.
