Refer to the Skyguard Measurement Guide. Typically, you will need to measure the length and width of your roof deck and add sufficient overlap for the edges and any details.

The Skyguard EPDM membrane is designed for a life expectancy of over 50 years when installed correctly.

Yes, the Skyguard EPDM Roof Membrane is designed for straightforward installation and is suitable for DIY projects. Instructions are included.

EPDM-specific adhesives are required for proper bonding. Always refer to the product's installation guide or the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for the correct type and application method.

While EPDM is waterproof, a slight slope is recommended for effective water drainage to prevent standing water, which can reduce the lifespan of any roofing system.

EPDM offers superior durability, a much longer lifespan (50+ years vs. typically 5-10 for felt), is fully waterproof and seamless, and is resistant to UV rays, cracking, and peeling.

'UV stable' means the material is formulated to resist degradation from ultraviolet radiation from the sun, ensuring it maintains its integrity and performance over time without becoming brittle or cracking.

Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. Verify that the correct EPDM adhesive is being used and applied according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions, including proper drying times for both the adhesive and the membrane surface before bonding.

Repair small punctures or tears immediately using an EPDM repair patch kit. Clean the area around the damage thoroughly, apply the patch with appropriate adhesive, and ensure a strong seal around the edges.

Check for any obstructions preventing water drainage, such as leaves or debris. If pooling persists, it may indicate an insufficient roof slope. Consider adjusting the roof structure if possible or ensure any necessary drainage channels are clear.

Bubbles can form if adhesive was not applied evenly or if trapped air was not properly worked out. For minor bubbles, try to carefully release the air and re-adhere. Significant blistering may require professional assessment and repair.
