Rob the Roofer is back this month with the answer to a question about EPDM adhesives. Our resident EPDM installation expert is a part of the professional training team, working with trade roofers from across the UK as they experience high quality EPDM training and liquid waterproofing courses.
Coverage rates for EPDM adhesives do vary according to substrate, the type of membrane used and the method of application. On average, a good quality roofing adhesive should typically deliver the following coverage, when following the manufacturer guidelines for application:
- Water-based roofing adhesive – 3 – 4m2 per litre
- Bonding/contact adhesive – 3.5 – 4m2 per litre

With the water-based adhesives, you will generally be getting three to four square metres per litre of adhesive.
The same with the contact bonding adhesive. With that, you’ll generally get three and a half to four square metres per litre of adhesive – applied to most surfaces.
