Installing EPDM in Cold Weather

Cold-weather installation protocols should be followed when the ambient temperature is 40 F or lower.

Membranes should be between 60 F and 80 F during installation.

Allow extra time for sheets to relax.

Mule-Hide Products recommends using smaller, non-folded sheets during cold weather. They will relax more quickly and be easier to work with than large, folded sheets.

EPDM flashing products may require supplemental warming with a heat gun. Keep the heat gun away from flammable materials, such as cleaners, tape primers and adhesives.

Note: The above are general guidelines. Please consult the relevant Product Data Sheet (PDS) for more information about the specific membrane being used.
