how to install rubber roofing?

Answer 1

Install rubber roofing is like patching a tire on a bike. Look at your local building supplier and ask for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), It is environmentally friendly and stands up well against other flat roofing materials such as PVC or Bituminous products. It is designed to outlast all conventional roofing materials...a remarkable material that can stretch, will not tear, split or crack and is unaffected by UV light and ozone.

You will also need seam glue and EPDM caulking. Clean off both of the sides you want to glue together with the cleaner/primer. After it's "set up" and tacky (a couple of minutes), apply the glue to both sides. After it's "set up" and tacky (this will take several minutes), push the two sides together, working the air bubbles out. Then apply the rubber caulking to the finished seam.

Once have materials. roll out ,most around my area is just glued to roof along outside edge and seams . Check local requirements . You can role out sheet fold back them glue roof and lay sheet over glue. Fold other half and repeat. Glue all seams . These are not bad to do just real heavy to handle rolls. I like to work with 10x10 or 12x12 piece if by myself. Good luck

This is something that is best left to the professionals: my daughters father-in-law is retired from the business and pioneered in the rubber roofing business, in Vegs. He was one of the few did this roofing. It's not something that the individual can go up to Home Depot on Saturday and pick up a few things and throw on their home for kicks. Some things are best left to the pros.
