ClassicBond EPDM Rubber Porch Roof Kit – 1.2mm

The ClassicBond EPDM Rubber Porch Roof Kit is a complete rubber roofing system designed specifically for porches and small flat roof structures where the front edge drains into a gutter and the rear edge adjoins a house wall.

Each kit includes a 1.2mm one-piece ClassicBond EPDM rubber membrane, together with the adhesives, Sure Edge gutter and kerb trims, wall flashing, corner detailing materials, fixings and installation tools required to complete a typical porch roof.

ClassicBond EPDM has a life expectancy of up to 50 years and provides an attractive, durable and low-maintenance flat roofing solution. The membrane is UV, ozone and infrared stable, helping it remain flexible without cracking, blistering or peeling.

Designed with DIY installation in mind, the kit brings together the main ClassicBond roofing components in one package, removing the need to calculate and order each individual product separately.

Designed Specifically for Porch Roofs

This ClassicBond kit configuration is designed for a typical porch roof where:

• The front edge or width drains into a gutter
• The rear edge adjoins the house wall
• The two side edges or depth require kerb trims

The supplied perimeter components are selected specifically for this arrangement.

The front is finished with a Sure Edge Gutter Trim, both sides receive Sure Edge Kerb Trims, and the rear wall junction is completed using the supplied Wall Trim.

What’s Included in the ClassicBond Porch Roof Kit?

Each kit includes:

• 1.2mm ClassicBond EPDM Membrane, sized according to the roof kit selected
• Water Based Adhesive for bonding the membrane to the main roof deck
• Contact Adhesive for bonding the membrane around the roof perimeter
• Sure Edge Gutter Trim for the front drainage edge
• Sure Edge Kerb Trims for both side edges
• Sure Edge Corners for both front corners
• Wall Trim to create the flashing against the house wall
• External Corner Patches and EPDM Primer for both rear corners where the roof meets the house wall
• DIY Installation Tools, including rollers, scissors and paint brush
• All required pins and clips for the supplied trims
• Installation Guide

Important: Allow 150mm Around Each Edge

When selecting your ClassicBond Porch Roof Kit, the membrane needs to be larger than the actual roof deck to provide sufficient material for edge overlaps and detailing.

Allow approximately 150mm around each edge.

For example:

6.0m x 3.0m Kit

Maximum recommended roof size:

5.7m x 2.7m

This allows approximately 150mm of additional membrane on each side of both dimensions.

Always measure the actual roof deck before ordering and select a kit that provides sufficient membrane for all required perimeter and upstand details.

1.2mm One-Piece ClassicBond EPDM Membrane

Each kit contains a 1.2mm thick ClassicBond EPDM membrane in the size selected.

Supplying the main roof membrane as one piece minimises the need for onsite membrane seams and helps make the installation process straightforward for both professional and DIY installers.

ClassicBond EPDM is:

• Waterproof
• UV stable
• Ozone resistant
• Infrared stable
• Flexible
• Resistant to cracking
• Resistant to blistering
• Resistant to peeling
• Suitable for long-term flat roofing applications

When correctly installed, ClassicBond EPDM has a life expectancy of up to 50 years.

Water Based Deck Adhesive Included

The kit includes Water Based Adhesive for bonding the main area of EPDM membrane to a suitable roof deck.

This adhesive is used across the primary horizontal roof surface to create a fully bonded EPDM installation.

The quantity supplied is selected according to the size of the roof kit.

Contact Adhesive for the Roof Perimeter

Contact Adhesive is also included for bonding the EPDM around appropriate perimeter and detailing areas.

The two adhesives perform different roles within the installation:

• Water Based Adhesive: Main roof deck
• Contact Adhesive: Perimeters and appropriate detail areas

This provides the bonding products required for the different areas of a typical ClassicBond porch roof installation.

Sure Edge Gutter Trim for the Front Edge

The front edge of the porch is finished using the included Sure Edge Gutter Trim.

This creates a neat finished edge while allowing rainwater to discharge from the EPDM roof into the guttering system.

The front gutter edge works together with the two side kerb trims to control the direction in which rainwater leaves the roof.

Sure Edge Kerb Trims for Both Sides

Both side edges of the porch roof are finished using Sure Edge Kerb Trims.

These create raised perimeter edges that help prevent rainwater from discharging over the sides of the roof, directing it towards the front gutter edge instead.

This creates a simple drainage arrangement with:

• Kerb edge on the left
• Kerb edge on the right
• Gutter edge at the front

Sure Edge Front Corners Included

The kit includes Sure Edge Corners for both front corners of the porch roof.

These provide a neat transition between the two side kerb trims and the front gutter trim, creating a professional finished appearance around the exposed roof perimeter.

Wall Trim for the House Junction

The rear of a typical porch roof meets the main house wall and requires a correctly weathered abutment detail.

The supplied Wall Trim acts as the flashing along this junction, helping protect the point where the EPDM membrane is dressed up against the house wall.

This creates a neat and durable finish to the rear roof-to-wall junction.

External Corner Patches & Primer Included

The two rear corners, where the side roof edges meet the house wall, require additional waterproof detailing.

The kit includes External Corner Patches and EPDM Primer for both rear corners.

The uncured EPDM patches can be formed around these more complex corner profiles, helping create a secure waterproof transition between the membrane, perimeter and wall upstand.

DIY Installation Tools Included

The ClassicBond Porch Roof Kit includes the main tools required for a typical DIY EPDM installation, including:

• Rollers
• Scissors
• Paint brush

This makes the kit particularly convenient for homeowners completing their own porch roof who may not already have dedicated EPDM installation tools.

Trim Pins & Clips Included

All required pins and clips for the supplied Sure Edge trims are included.

This removes the need to purchase the standard trim fixings separately and helps ensure the necessary components are available when the roof perimeter is installed.

Installation Guide Included

A ClassicBond Installation Guide is also supplied with the kit.

Before beginning installation, measure and plan the roof carefully and familiarise yourself with the membrane positioning, adhesive application, perimeter trims, wall junction and corner detailing requirements.

UV, Ozone & Infrared Stable

ClassicBond EPDM is designed for long-term exposure to external weather conditions.

The rubber membrane is UV, ozone and infrared stable, helping it retain its flexibility throughout its service life.

Unlike some traditional flat roofing materials, EPDM is not prone to becoming brittle and subsequently cracking, blistering or peeling as it ages.

Up to 50 Year Life Expectancy

ClassicBond EPDM has a life expectancy of up to 50 years when correctly installed, providing a long-term roofing solution for porches and other suitable small flat roofs.

Its combination of durability, flexibility and low maintenance requirements makes EPDM particularly well suited to domestic flat roofing applications.
