Tools required:
• Tape measure
• Scribe
• Spirit level
• Sealant gun
• Leaf blower
Materials required:
• Termination bar
• Self-sealing termination bar screws
• FlexiProof Water Block Mastic
• Impact driver or cordless drill
• FlexiProof Lap Edge Sealant
• Surgical gloves
• Glass cleaner
Things to be aware of:
• The prepared roof surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust and contaminants (bitumen, oil, etc).
• When joining EPDM to asphalt or built-up roofing systems (especially if an insulation layer is installed below) extra-long screws may be required to screw into the underlying roof deck.
• When joining to an existing felt roof with embedded stones, make sure to remove the stones to create a smooth surface to apply the Water Block Mastic to.
• When joining to existing single-ply roofs (or EPDM) be sure to clean these surfaces with membrane cleaner.
• Make sure to cut the EPDM membrane to a perfect square, so it lines up with the termination bar perfectly.
• Never substitute Water Block Mastic for silicon or other types of mastics.
• Apply the correct amount of Water Block Mastic to avoid excess squeezing out.
