Where is EPDM roof tape used?
The outer surface of the tape is glossy and non-porous; this structure helps prevent the passage of water, dust and air. Because its inner side is porous, it compresses and settles against the surface when squeezed, and can return to its original form when loosened.
It is used for sealing under the support feet screwed to the roof surface and at connection points. In Antalya, the temperature difference between winter rain and summer heat moves roof components; elastic tape helps tolerate this movement. For correct placement, installation should be carried out by the Solar Nexo team.
In practice, the length and thickness of the tape are chosen according to the foot type; over-tightened tape can be permanently crushed, while under-tightened tape leaves gaps. This balance requires installation experience.
