Description

The ClassicBond 3-inch seam tape is used to join two pieces of ClassicBond EPDM membrane when it is not practical to complete the roof in one piece. e.g. "L" shaped roof.

Installation Notes: 

  1. Ensure your two pieces of EPDM membrane that you wish to join overlap by 75 mm (3").
  2. Fold back the top layer and apply ClassicBond rubber primer to both surfaces.
  3. Wait until the primer is dry to the touch and then, leaving the backing film on the splice tape, starting at one end, stick the tape down onto the bottom EPDM membrane.
  4. Use your hand to smooth down the splice tape, ensuring there are no creases.
  5. Allow the top membrane to fold back into position and then peel away the backing film, pulling at a 45-degree angle while smoothing the top membrane over the seam tape with your hand.
  6. Use a seam roller to apply pressure bond to other surfaces:

The seam tape can be used to join the EPDM rubber membrane onto both TPO and PVC roofing systems.

The tapes are often used to repair damaged TPO and PVC as a cost-effective alternative to replacing the whole flat roof.

When joining the rubber membrane to uneven or granular built-up roof surfaces, such as felt or asphalt, we recommend the use of a termination bar and water cut-off mastic (water block).

Questions & Answers


ClassicBond vs Skyguard

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.

ClassicBond vs Firestone

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.

What is the guarantee on ClassicBond?

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 any work in your area we pass these leads to you.
