EPDM ROOFING:  TAPED OUTSIDE CORNERS

Outside corners of any angle can be flashed with Uncured Laminate Tape. This is a 6” wide self-adhesive lamination of uncured EPDM rubber and Butyl seam tape that has no “memory” so it can be permanently stretched around a three-dimensional corner. Since Uncured Laminate Tape becomes thinner as it stretches, an outside corner is always flashed with two pieces of tape, one applied to either wall, so the thickness is doubled where they overlap at the corner.
