ClassicBond EPDM Primer

The ClassicBond EPDM Primer is an essential preparation product designed to ensure strong, long-lasting adhesion when using pressure-sensitive (PS) EPDM accessories. It acts as a one-step cleaner and primer, getting your EPDM membrane or other suitable surfaces ready for a professional-quality bond. Ideal for use before applying PS Seam Tape, Cover Strips, Pipe Seals, Walkway Pads, and Uncured Flashing, the primer helps create a secure, watertight seal by promoting proper adhesion between surfaces. It’s simple to use—just apply the primer to a clean, dry surface, allow it to dry thoroughly, and then install your PS accessory. This primer is a must-have for anyone installing a ClassicBond EPDM system, whether you're a professional contractor or a capable DIYer. With excellent coverage and reliable performance, it ensures that your roofing system stays sealed, weatherproof, and secure.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
