FAQs

What is EPDM rubber?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to weathering, UV rays, and extreme temperatures.

How long does the Skyguard Roof Membrane typically last?

The Skyguard Roof Membrane has a life expectancy of over 50 years, providing long-lasting protection for your garden building.

Do I need special tools to install this membrane?

Basic DIY tools are usually sufficient, such as a tape measure, utility knife, and a roller or squeegee. Specific adhesives or sealants recommended by Skyguard may also be required.

Can I install this on a very old or uneven roof?

The roof deck should be solid, dry, and as smooth as possible for optimal adhesion. Significant unevenness may require repairs or a new substrate before installation.

Is this membrane suitable for pitched roofs?

Yes, the membrane is suitable for pitched roofs on garden buildings. Ensure adequate overhang and proper sealing at all edges and seams.

What does the 20-year guarantee cover?

The 20-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use, providing assurance of the product's quality and longevity.

How do I clean the Skyguard Roof Membrane?

You can clean the membrane with water and a mild soap using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Membrane is difficult to position or stiff

Allow the membrane to warm up in the sun or a warm environment for at least 30 minutes before attempting to install. Avoid installation in very cold temperatures.

Small bubbles or wrinkles appear after installation

Minor wrinkles can sometimes settle. If significant, check the installation instructions for proper adhesion techniques. Ensure the substrate was smooth and dry.

Water pooling on the roof surface

Ensure there is adequate roof slope for drainage. Check that drainage edges are clear of debris. If persistent, consult the manufacturer's guide for advice on drainage solutions.

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure both the membrane and the roof substrate are clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. Verify you are using the correct adhesive recommended by Skyguard for EPDM application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  3. Position the membrane carefully, allowing for sufficient overhang on all sides.
  4. Secure the edges according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically using adhesive or specific edge trims.
  5. For complex roof shapes or details, consult the detailed installation guide provided.

Compatibility:

This membrane is specifically designed for timber garden buildings, including sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, workshops, and home offices. It is intended to be laid over a solid roof deck. Ensure the roof structure is sound and able to support the membrane and potential weather loads.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the roof for any debris or potential damage.
  • Clean the surface gently with water and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Ensure drainage is clear to prevent water pooling on the membrane.
