Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the timber roof deck is clean, dry, and free from sharp objects.
- Lay the EPDM membrane out on a warm day to make it more pliable.
- Position the membrane carefully, allowing for sufficient overhang on all sides.
- Secure the edges according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically using adhesive or specific edge trims.
- 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.
