Russ Tape - per l/m

Questions & Answers

The EPDM Russ Tape is a mechanically fixed tape that secures to the ClassicBond membrane to ensure the security of the membrane over time. 

In common with most single ply material, EPDM will overtime try to shrink. The Russ tape counteracts the pulling that can happen over time by securing the membrane to the roof deck where the membrane turns UP through an angle change (e.g. wall upstand). Any further movement is accommodated by the EPDM's ability to elongate by over 300%. 

RUSS (Reinforced Universal Secure Strip) has bonding tape pre-applied along one edge, this is bonded to the underside of the EPDM using ClassicBond Rubber Primer, meaning that the EPDM membrane does not require puncturing during installation. 

2" Seam Fastening Plates are included with the Russ tape. We supply sufficient seam fasteners to secure the tape to the deck at 300mm intervals i.e. 3-4 per metre. 

Note: Seam Fasteners must be used in conjunction with the appropriate screw fixings for the substrate.

Questions & Answers

Both of these are made from EPDM rubber, ClassicBond is 1.2mm & 1.5mm thick whereas SkyGuard is 1.0mm thick. This means the SkyGuard is for use on outbuildings, sheds and any other building not covered by building regs as this requires an EPDM that is 1.14mm thick as a minimum. ClassicBond can be used on all roof types.

There isn’t much difference between the systems ClassicBond or Firestone now known as Elevate, both are EPDM membranes that come in similar thickness and are installed in a very similar way. They both have BBA certificates and life spans of 50 years. So there isn’t much between them, we here at UKFR prefer the ClassicBond system as it is slightly thicker than the Elevate for the standard system and as an overall system is slightly more affordable.

ClassicBond EPDM holds a 35 year BBA certificate and a life expectancy of 50 years. If you want to get a materials guarantee we also offer training with our partner company that once trained and qualified each roof can get a 20 year materials guarantee. You would also be on our list of approved installers and if any customer needs anywork in your area we pass these leads to you.

ClassicBond is simple to install, it can be installed onto a variety of surfaces and detail sections.
