How to Install:
  • Remove existing timber edge trims and put them to one side if they can be reused. Remove the old roof covering, any exposed nails and replace any rotten deck boards.
  • Ensure that the deck surface is clean, dry and free from contaminants and dust.
  • Unwrap the EPDM Rubber and place onto the shed roof – ensure there is equal coverage. Wait for half an hour for EPDM to relax.
  • Fold back half of the EPDM Rubber Roof Membrane to expose the timber deck underneath and apply the QuickBond 1600 evenly with a roller.
  • Roll the membrane back into a position while the adhesive is still wet, use a soft broom to ensure no air is trapped underneath the membrane.
  • Repeat the process for the other half of the roof.
  • Using scissors cut off any excess EPDM Rubber Roof Membrane, leaving 50mm overhang (approximately).
  • Fold the membrane back on itself and fix with trims.
