EPDM on a garden room

[jpadie]

Hello all

 

I've just got the osb sheeting on to the flat roof and the epdm arrived today.  I've realised that I think I need to have the fascia board in place before I put the rubber on.  I.e. the various trims go over/on top of the fascia board.    Is that correct?  Or does the fascia board butt up to the epdm trims?  There is 11mm osb board there at the moment, acting as a sub-board.  Eventually there will be fascia board that will match the other trim elements.

 

If it is correct that the epdm needs to go over the fascia board is it ok still to glue it down nowish and leave the edges flapping (or lightly tacked to the osb)?  Then finish off when the fascia arrives.  Reasons are tomorrow is the last non-rain day for a couple of weeks and I'd like to get some weatherproofing on.

 

Thanks in advance

Justin

To finish it properly you are correct in saying that the EPDM goes over the fascia board. To keep it dry it is ok to glue the rubber down and tack it to the sub fascia until you have the proper fascia installed. Remember to use contact adhesive to the perimeter. If you get stuck look at the tutorials on rubber4roofs website.

very grateful for the advice and reassurance!  rubber is on and the sub-floor drying out (slowly) ...
