Ideal time of rubber roofing

Question

Is there an ideal time of year to install rubber roofing and if so, how come?

Dennis · Answer

Hi Charles, you should look to install your rubber roof on a dry day that isn’t too cold for best results.  For an EPDM rubber roof to be installed correctly, water-based deck adhesive and contact bonding adhesive need to be applied.

Simon · Answer

Hi Charles the warmer weather is better has the glue which is used to bond it to the boards doesn't go off in the colder weather

Gary · Answer

All year round is OK no problem summer or winter laying EPDM rubber roofs

Michael · Answer

Any time just not the winter the summer time is the best

Reuben · Answer

Anytime of the year is fine aslong as the ply and rubber are kept dry and out of heat and cold before it’s laid

Jack · Answer

Summer or spring is the best time but it is still possible to do a rubber roof in the winter

Charle · Answer

Dry conditions only. Cannot be completed in the rain or fog.warm weather is best for adhesive to activate.

Naseem · Answer

No ideal time but grp rubber will shrink over time the good old felt is the best

Ian · Answer

Ideally in the summer as the adhesive won't bond when wet

Niki · Answer

Anytime other than winter as the adhesive won’t take under 5 degrees
