Can EPDM Sheets Be Joined?
Yes, all of our EPDM membranes can be joined. Joining an EPDM membrane can be useful for roofs that are bigger than our largest membrane size or if you find it easier to install the membrane in smaller sections.
Can ClassicBond EPDM be joined?
Classicbond EPDM Membranes can be easily joined using either the 3" Seam Tape or some 6" Cover Tape. A Primer must be used when joining two sheets as the self-adhesive tapes will only adhere to a primed surface. Please see our video installation guide to see how this is done using the 3" Seam Tape.
Can Resitrix Sheets be joined?
Yes! The membrane can be joined and sealed by using a Hot Air Gun with a flat nozzle and Seam Roller to create a heat weld. It is easy to tell if a good weld has been formed as there will be a bleed on the welded edge.
Can ClassicBond Pro EPDM be Joined?
Yes, ClassicBond Pro Membranes have a pre-applied Seam Tape applied to one side; this makes joining the membrane quick and more effective.
Pre-applied Seam Tape (PST) improves seaming productivity by nearly 75% and addresses the roofing industry’s biggest challenge —the shortage of skilled labour. This means completing projects faster, improving the ability to get buildings “in the dry” in less time and minimising business disruption. Delivering 30% greater peel strength and 32% greater shear strength than traditionally applied seams.
