Working with Low-Slope Roofing Materials When Temperatures Dip
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.
