FAQs

What is EPDM?

EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It's a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and temperature extremes, making it ideal for roofing applications.

How do I measure my roof for the correct size?

Skyguard provides a detailed Measurement Guide to help you accurately measure your roof dimensions. It's crucial to measure both the length and width, adding sufficient overhang for a proper seal.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, the Skyguard EPDM Roof Membrane is designed for straightforward DIY installation. The kit includes instructions to guide you through the process.

What is the expected lifespan of this membrane?

The membrane has a life expectancy of over 50 years, offering long-term protection for your garden building.

Does it come with a guarantee?

Yes, the Skyguard EPDM Roof Membrane is backed by a 20-year guarantee.

Is this membrane suitable for very hot or cold climates?

Yes, EPDM is known for its excellent performance across a wide range of temperatures, remaining flexible in cold weather and resistant to degradation in heat and sun.

What's the difference between this and traditional shed felt?

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that is far more durable, watertight, and has a significantly longer lifespan than traditional bitumen felt. It is also resistant to UV rays, cracking, and peeling.

Troubleshooting

Membrane not adhering properly

Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry, and at the recommended temperature for adhesive application. Use the correct type and amount of EPDM adhesive as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Small bubbles or wrinkles appearing

These can sometimes occur during installation. Ensure the membrane is laid flat and any trapped air is carefully smoothed out. Minor imperfections often self-seal over time.

Water pooling on the roof

While the membrane is watertight, significant pooling can indicate an issue with the roof's structure or drainage. Ensure there are no low spots where water can collect and advise on improving the roof's slope if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your timber garden building's roof deck is clean, dry, and free of debris before installation. Use the provided Measurement Guide to accurately determine the required size for your roof. The membrane is designed for easy adhesion; follow the specific instructions included with your kit for best results. Tools such as adhesive, seam tape, and sealant may be required depending on the installation method recommended.

Compatibility: This EPDM roof membrane is specifically designed for timber garden buildings, including sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, workshops, and playhouses. It is a modern alternative to traditional bitumen felt roofing.

Care: The EPDM membrane is virtually maintenance-free due to its durable construction. Periodically inspect the roof for any accumulated debris and clear it away. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could potentially damage the surface. The UV-stable nature means it requires no special coatings or treatments to maintain its protective qualities.
