Rubber ducky you're the one, making bath time so much fun,

rubber ducky I'm falling in love with you. Rubber roofing. What? Rubber roofing? There's no such thing as rubber roofing. Yes there is. Rubber rain coats keep rain off people, rubber shoes keep feet dry and warm, why not keep water and the elements out of a house as a roof?

Number one with a rubber roof is a myth . It's perfectly fine to roll rubber roofing over an existing roof. After all, it saves time from removing the old roof. And in areas where the old roof is intact there's double protection. Wrong! There are good reasons a roof warranty becomes void if it's installed over an existing roof. So get ready for that removal. It's step one.

Rubber roofs can be easy to self install. They come in a variety of styles of both rolls and shingles. A perfect material for large flat roofs, rubber roofing will last for years, and won't split or crack. Rubber roofing experiences less stress than other material shingles because it expands and contracts with the roof in response to weather changes. In fact the 1st rubber roof, has been performing in Wisconsin since 1980. That's nearly three decades.

Both rolls and shingle rubber roofing is attached to the roof surface with adhesive. Therefore make sure the roof is as clean as possible with nothing protruding which could pierce the rubber. The surface must be dry and free of oils or dirt. So make sure to blow or sweep away and dirt.

When the base is clean, the rubber roof can be rolled out onto the area being covered, and cut to fit over vents and pipes. Do not apply adhesive until the rubber roofing is cut and shaped. Imagine securing portions of the roof only to find it doesn't fit, or to develop a bubble or seam. When the roof is cut and fit then roll back about half to apply the adhesive. Apply it evenly with a roller, then give it time to become tacky.

The roofing will be nearly impossible to lift once it's stuck. So once the adhesive has set carefully roll the rubber roofing into place. The first half will have to dry for about an hour before the second half can be secured.

The home or building now has a rubber roof. Wow.
