Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Cover strip is the workhorse detail product on EPDM edge terminations; match width to the metal flange you are stripping in, stepping up to 12 in. for wide gravel stop faces. Roll the strip firmly with a rubber hand roller to guarantee tape bond and prevent fishmouths. Order fresh stock close to the install date since tape-backed products carry a 6-9 month shelf life.
Follow RPI system specifications and manufacturer safety guidance when cleaning primers and adhesives are used during cover strip installation on roof edges.
Order RPI Royal Edge EPDM Cured Cover Strip with Tape in the width and length your detail requires.
