EPDM ROOFING:  EDGE TRANSITIONS

TAPED FLUSH TRANSITION: A flush transition is created at the intersection between a roof and a wall where the two surfaces are flush. To fold the rubber up the wall and over the roof edge at the same time, the roof membrane must be slit at the corner. A square of Uncured Laminate Tape is folded in half with the taped side out and positioned to overhang the roof edge a few inches. The tape is unfolded to make contact with the wall and is then stretched and formed over the corner.

TAPED PROJECTED TRANSITION: A flush transition is created at the intersection between a roof and a wall where the wall extends beyond the roof. To fold the rubber up the wall and over the roof edge at the same time, the roof membrane must be slit at the corner. A square of Uncured Laminate Tape is folded in half with the taped side out and positioned to overhang the roof edge a few inches. The tape is unfolded to make contact with the wall and is then stretched and formed over the corner.
