Upgrade Your Outdoor Space: Why EPDM Shed Kits Offer Resilience and Eco-Friendly Innovation
Share
EPDM shed kits are rapidly gaining popularity as a robust, sustainable, and versatile solution for anyone looking to add functional outdoor storage or a cozy retreat to their property.
At their core, these shed kits utilize EPDM—a high-performance synthetic rubber known for its exceptional weather resistance and durability—to form key components such as roofing and waterproof barriers. This means that your shed isn’t just another backyard structure; it’s designed to stand up to intense sunlight, heavy rain, and environmental challenges, all while providing a low-maintenance, long-lasting shelter.
Additionally, EPDM's flexibility and ease of installation seamlessly complement modular designs, allowing homeowners to effortlessly integrate smart technologies—like solar-powered lighting and automated security—into their sheds. This combination of strength, sustainability, and adaptability positions EPDM as the best option for modern, innovative shed roofs.
How to Install:
- Remove existing timber edge trims and put them to one side if they can be reused. Remove the old roof covering, any exposed nails and replace any rotten deck boards.
- Ensure that the deck surface is clean, dry and free from contaminants and dust.
- Unwrap the EPDM Rubber and place onto the shed roof – ensure there is equal coverage. Wait for half an hour for EPDM to relax.
- Fold back half of the EPDM Rubber Roof Membrane to expose the timber deck underneath and apply the QuickBond Water Based Adhesive evenly with a roller.
- Roll the membrane back into a position while the adhesive is still wet, use a soft broom to ensure no air is trapped underneath the membrane.
- Repeat the process for the other half of the roof.
- Using scissors cut off any excess EPDM Rubber Roof Membrane, leaving 50mm overhang (approximately).
- Fold the membrane back on itself and fix with trims.
