Featured Roofing Adhesives
Contact Adhesives
High performance contact (also known as bonding) adhesives are important when installing a long-term roofing system, such as EPDM. Used for detailing and suitable for a wider range of substrates, contact adhesives are available in liquid and spray options suitable for both trade and DIY.
Spray Roofing Adhesive
Spray roofing adhesive can make lighter work of some projects, large and small. An aerosol version offers a simplified approach for homeowners to handle recovering a shed and the trade roofer’s answer to tackling a large coverage area is a 17l canister. Find out how important good roofing adhesive is to your project.
The importance of a good quality roof membrane adhesive
EPDM roofing membranes have been developed with a long-term solution in mind. With an average life expectancy for a professionally-installed EPDM roof of more than 50 years, it makes sense that the adhesive used to adhere the membrane to the roof deck is of equally high performance.
PermaRoof adhesives have been introduced to suit the EPDM roofing systems perfectly and are safe and easy to apply in a variety of project types for domestic, commercial and industrial settings. Cheaper adhesives often carry a water content that is too high to be reliable over the long-term, and this can lead to the failure of the system. Although EPDM membrane is still effective, this is only the case if it is properly adhered to the roof deck and with no areas where moisture is present in any form.

Although EPDM membrane is still effective, this is only the case if it is properly adhered to the roof deck and with no areas where moisture is present in any form.
PermaRoof UK is one of the largest licenced distributors of Elevate Rubbercover, the leading EPDM membrane with more than 50 years life expectancy. Made from synthetic rubber elements and carbon black, EPDM has a higher UV resistance than other traditional roofing materials, which contributes to its life expectancy.
EPDM can be applied using cold, water-based adhesives and this has resulted in a safer, faster application method and is in part why this single-ply roofing system has become increasingly popular with the DIY market. Available in two grades, Standard 1.14mm and a heavier-duty Premium 1.52mm, EPDM membranes are suitable for a wide range of roofing designs and systems.
Applying roofing adhesive
There are a few methods to the application of roofing adhesive to membranes and which you choose will depend upon the type of roofing project you have planned. The water-based roof deck adhesive can be applied to both the roof and the membrane using a pad system for detailed areas and rollers over the larger expanse of the deck surface area. We also stock spray application options in cans or canister with spray gun and hose – one of our most popular choices for trade roofers.
PermaRoof UK stock EPDM tools in our range and include rollers and pad sets for the safe and efficient application of our roofing adhesives range.
Tackling the tricky bits of flat roofing installation
Every flat roofer looks at each project individually. Some are simple, such as standard garage roofing, nice and straight with no complexities. Others can be very different to handle and approach. Some of the complexities that can be handled well using EPDM roofing accessories are flat roof extrusions and drains.
Extruding pipework, chimney flues or skylights can offer even professional trade roofers a challenge on some roofing systems. Where accessories need to be added to single-ply systems, it is essential that these joins are treated carefully and thoroughly to avoid water ingress in the most vulnerable parts of the system. Using a range of specially-designed EPDM accessories and high-quality adhesive can make reliable seals that will last.
Although perfectly suited to DIY application, not every homeowner is confident working at height or taking on a larger project, such as a complete flat roof replacement. PermaRoof UK works with a carefully selected group of trained, professional EPDM installers via our nationwide installer network.
