Which Thickness of rubber roofing is best for my roof? (1.2mm or 1.5mm)
Another question we are asked every day- what thickness does my membrane need to be?
Whilst both membranes are perfect for all residential and commercial flat-roofing applications and are installed in the same way, if there is going to be anything going over the top of the roof, such as decking, screed and tiles, ballast, or even a green-roof, we will advise that the 1.5mm membrane is used for extra protection.
The 1.5mm rubber weights just over 2Kg p/sqm and the 1.2mm weights 1.5Kg p/sqm
ClassicBond rubber is BBA certified and fire rated.

Is My Membrane The Right Way Up?
Переглядів 19 тис.2 роки тому
Can you tell which way up your membrane should be? Technically speaking there is no right or wrong way up, the EPDM membrane does the same job either way up, however you will see manufacturers writing on one side only, every 3 meters or so. If your membrane is visible from a widow you can simply fit the rubber writing-side-down. Check out our intuitive flat-roofing calculator to get a quick quo...

I am sure that is upside down ! the water will drip better from the pointed edge
Hi , flat roof but still need some drop isn't ? Can someone please tell me what would be roof slope for 3.5m projection canopy?
Buy 3inch to nothing ferings
what type of surface coating do you put on top of the EPDM?
So why do you need a different adhesive around the edges?
how do you deal with gutter edge corners. so where one gutter edge meets another. I dont want to use a kerb edge trim
The rubber EPDM sheeting comes with a sort of talc/dusting applied, I'm guessing for easier handling. The question is.... Should this be swept/washed off before applying glue? Will the talc negatively impact the adhesion of the glue? Thanks in advance :)
How hard is it to remove when needed?
Ordering and delivery from Rubber4roofs was a breeze. Delivery was quick and when promised. Fitting went just as smoothly. As a complete novice I’m amazed at how easy it all was. The only problem I had was the speed the glue went off due to it being a hot day. 100% happy with it all.
What goes on the corner where the kerb trim meets the gutter trim?
So always do a batten on the facia first then apply?
Question about rubber roofs. My roofer has the seam of rubber roof landing right in the middle of the valley. The roof slants from each side and the valley is where a seam is. I didnt think this would be ok or am i wrong?
Que no se le echa pegamento al hule??
No sticking down the insides of the slit? Is this same for bubbles?
Well that was waistful, could have done this on someone's roof who needed it and made for a better more realistic video
Goddamn! Great videography! Seriously
Shite those nails will let it leak the click drip is much better
What is the trim thats fitted already on the right hand side?
Hi @dax525 this is the back plate for the drip trim. This is installed prior to the membrane and once the membrane is fitted the front plate clamps the membrane in place. Here is a link to our video showing the installation: ua-cam.com/video/2U1VuqSfNa4/v-deo.html
They charge a left kidney and a lung to do this, better off to do it yourself, remember to play good country music and have cold drink available...
Hi @ironjohn5914 Whilst we agree it is easy to DIY on many simple freestanding buildings, you can't beat the experience of a trained installer on more complex projects with a lot of detailing work required such as Skylights, Pipework and Joins etc.
Hi. What thickness osb boards would you recommend on a flat garge roof that's approx 8mtrs square??
Hi there We generally recommend using 18mm OSB.
@@Rubber4Roofs thank you
How do the sides finish out?
Hi there On the side edges we use the Sure Edge Kerb trim. This has a 25mm upstand built in to divert water toward the gutter edge. They also connect to the Drip trim using an external kerb corner to provide a nice finish.
@@Rubber4Roofs so the kerb external trim attaches to the gutter trim from the corner?
Great video! I wish more instructional videos were like this: clear, uncluttered, comprehensive, and only a minute long!
What sort of timber board ?
Hey Martin OSB 3 is perfect 👍
Can the membrane be use on a 10 degree slightly pitched roof, thanks
yes. epdm is often used on commercial and residential high rises with a 0 degree roof. so 10 degree is not an issue
. You have forgotten to say that the gutter back plate needs nailing on before the rubber is put on. Otherwise, very useful.
Why did you not apply bonding adhesive to the rubber. We have always using bonding adhesive on wood decking and back of rubber.
where does the caulk go?
As a ROOFER NONE of this makes sense
Hi ROOFER NONE. If you still can't make sense of it, you can go for a course in order to learn how to lay it properly, otherwise what brought you here in the first place?
l always keep a piece of old carpet in my pocket phew!
Most pointless video of all time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And one of the most commonly asked questions Ash, however I get your point 😉 no right or wrong way up 👍
would you still put a drip edge underneath like a normal roof? Are there two different types of adhesive needed for the middle and edge?
Can EPDM be installed over copper that has seams?
I’ve recently used the skyguard membrane on my shed. Which had 2 joins across the membrane which is totally fine as I don’t mind how it looks. However these joins were incredibly difficult to lay flat and glue down, they kept rippling. We allowed the membrane to relax in the sun for an hour as recommended and in the end we ended up with a large ripply bumps along the joins which you can push down and spring up again with your finger. The edges are also loosely glued down probably due to the lack of contact adhesive? As the skuguard kit only comes with water based glue. I suppose your meant to pull it tight over the edge and then pin it down with the wood/metal/plastic fascia boards. Overall I’m very happy with the roof, it looks fine and more importantly it performs fantastically and has zero leaks much better than felt or roofing sheets. But will these bumps be a probelm down the road or are they purely cosmetic damages in which case I don’t mind. Would love some feedback.
Hi there! Thanks for your purchase and taking the time to provide us with feedback on our Skyguard membrane. In regards to any creases, they are purely cosmetic and won't affect the integrity of the membrane whatsoever meaning your roof will remain watertight. They should also become less prominent over time. If there are any issues however, don't hesitate to contact us.
is water based adhesive better than the PU adhesive
We've just had a rubber membrane fitted but the roofers didn't put contact adhesive on the drip baton/gutter edge. The result is a slight rise on the rubber trapping water on the flat roof. Should adhesive be used on all edges?
Such ingenuity would astonish the Pharoahs😂
but how does rain and snow melting run off if you creating a raised border around it ??
Hi there, On a flat roof, there should be a slight fall towards one edge. On this edge you would install a drip trim. This trim allows water to run off the edge that water flows towards and into the guttering. I hope this helps.
Yeah - any fools can look expert when the roof they are working on is only a foot off the ground ffs
What do you charge for it and how long does it takes. I got two roofs, one is 8x11 and 16x21. How many rolls and bucket of glue will I need?
Hi there, You can quickly and simply get a price for those roof's using our kit calculator! Here's a link: www.rubber4roofs.co.uk/classicbond-calculator
As you said, if it shows aesthetically where is can be seen it should be writing down(otherwise not an issue) - ours has been fitted with the writing on the upstand of our roof lantern :( Is there anything the writing can be coated with to hide it? Or does it need to be replaced?
So easy on a 1 foot tall roof lol
Nice looking seam roller! 😍
Do you provide custom shapes? rather than the standard rectangle? Planning a corner shaped outbuilding so require a triangle shaped EPDM roof.
How do you water proof expansion gaps
Hi Jimbo Thanks for watching! The one piece membrane will not be impacted by expansion gaps, it will sit over the top of them, there is no need to fill them in.
@@Rubber4Roofs I meant between the kerb trim. It says you leave a 1mm gap per meter on the trims butbthe kerb trim is meant to be stopping water getting past.
Can the rubber be applied to both sides of osb board ( smooth side and rough side)
Hi Kevin It can but we would recommend bonding to the rough side for a better bond.
@@Rubber4Roofs thank you so much for the response, my shed currently has felt on and I was under the impression that the rubber should only be applied to the smooth side. I'm going to scrape the felt off and then turn the boards over, you saved me about £140.
I have air bubbles in the middle of my membrane...
After year of applying rubber roofs 1: in the winter, it takes far longer to tack off 2: important you allow air flow through to let the gas dissipate. The gas is heavy and will sit close to any surface. This is more of a problem in gulleys or pig/dog ear corners. Best way i have found to eliminate these issues is to use an air gun on warm setting or hot air from a distance to allow circulation in the area. If thats not an option, the longer you leave, the better. I dont mean hours, but leave it to dry off and get on with something else. Do not rush it or it will cause problems. This is only my opinion and not manufacturers. 👍🏽
Hello, can I ask if cats can tear the rubber membrane? Or have you heard of any issues where cats scratch it.
Hi there, No the membrane is durable and tough enough to deal with small animals like cats, birds and squirrels walking on it
So what happens at the expansion gap? Water just tracks through the gap?
Yes, water from that point still travel over the rubber into the gutter
You need to lap seal your patch’s people also you need to clean the area with a cleaner before applying your primer and your patch does not need to be that big that’s a waste of material you only need to have 2inch of coverage around your whole
Agree on the lap seal when youre done and the cleaning and the patches. Where im at need to be at least 3 inches. (also its supposed to be cut out from a 18inch roll also called curb flashing which you can make couple patches out of one cut off the roll. from firestone now called elevate roofing products.) skill isnt cheap and cheap isnt skill
