Easy Roofing Membrane
A highly unique product taking all of the problems away associated with felting a roof. No nails are used. No heat is needed to be applied. This product is simply stuck on. It has a 15 year life expectancy if applied correctly. Very Quick and Very Easy. Each roll is 1.0m x 5.0m and can be applied in any direction meaning a lot less waste.
An easier solution to traditional roofing felt and easier to install than EPDM. Ideally suited for flat roofs.
Specifications:
Manufactured from a high performance polyester Base.
Coated with SBS modified Bitumen.
The upper surface has a non removable polyethylene film. Slate Aluminium coloured.
Underside is protected by an easy release film which is removed on installation.
Can be cut to to size as required.
Bitumen Glue can be used for providing additional security when sealing end laps and detail work.
Will stick to timber, metal, bitumen, concrete, masonry. It will not stick on PVC or Silicone.
Each Roll is 1.0m x 5.0m
Installation:
Minimum application temperature of 10 degrees.
Economical to use with minimal waste.
Surface free of dust and dirt.
Surface must be dry to adhere.
Can be installed across or lengthwise as required to cover the roof so long as 100mm overlaps are maintained.
Minimum of 100mm overlap.
Release about 200mm of release film and roll on the roof.
Roll out evenly and avoid air pockets. Any air pockets can be removed with a brush.
Pay attention to getting a good seal on the overlaps. A pressure roller helps this if available.
It is recommended to create roof upstands the same as when using EPDM.
For detailing additional bitumen glue maybe required.
How much do you need?
Ideally allow an additional 300mm all around for trimming and detailing.
Example: Log Cabin is 4m x4m. Account for the roof overhangs (200-300mm) both sides
Roof Size: 4.6m x 4.6m with overhang
With additional 300mm all around for detailing: 4.9m x 4.9m = 24.01m.sq
Each roll is 5m.sq so for this building you would need 5 - 6 rolls when allowing for overlaps.
An excellent product to use and replaces roofing felt and EPDM with a very long life and minimum wastage when compared to using felt as it can be placed in either direction regardless of water run off.

The roofing membrane is easy to work with provided that you ensure accurate alignment as you start as you won't get a second chance to peel it off and try again. I did have a problem with the local birds who took a shine to the silver surface and took to pecking holes through it. Consequently I had to purchase a second set to overlay the first as I could not identify the hole that had been pecked which was causing a persistent small but irritating drip. The overlay stuck to the first later very well and presumably my roof will now last for 50 years! One last note would be to only use the membrane in warm weather. The instructions mention that the temperature needs to be above 10 degrees but I would say this is an absolute minimum and would suggest you will get better adhesion if you apply the membrane with the temperature nearer 20 degrees.
Easy Roofing Membrane is a very cost effective roof covering and is relatively easy to fit as I had no previous experience with this sort of job. We would recommend good preparation and 2 people fitting it as it is very sticky. As we have only recently fitted it we cannot comment on how it will perform.
