📐 Drip Edge vs Kerb Edge

🛠️ Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Edge – Ensure deck and fascia are sound and clean
2. Position the Trim – Overhang should extend into gutter by 10-20mm
3. Attach Fixing Clips – Space at 300mm centres along the edge
4. Secure the Trim – Click trim into fixing clips
5. Join Sections – Overlap by 50mm, seal with silicone if required
6. Lay EPDM Membrane – Bring membrane over trim and bond with adhesive
7. Trim Excess – Cut membrane flush with drip edge
8. Roll & Seal – Use seam roller for secure adhesive bond

📦 Calculating Quantities

Each piece covers 2.5 metres of roof edge. To calculate:

1. Measure total gutter edge length in metres
2. Divide by 2.5
3. Add 10% for overlaps and cuts
4. Round up to whole number

Example: 8m gutter edge ÷ 2.5 = 3.2, +10% = 3.5 → Order 4 pieces

📋 Technical Properties

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the drip edge fit into my existing gutter?
A: Yes, the drip edge is designed to overhang into standard UK guttering (112mm half-round or 117mm square line). Position so water falls into the gutter.

Q: Can I paint this trim a different colour?
A: While possible with proper primer, we recommend choosing a colour match from our three options. The powder coating provides superior durability compared to site-applied paint.

Q: Do I need to seal the joints between pieces?
A: For extra weatherproofing, apply a bead of silicone sealant between overlapping sections. This prevents any wind-driven rain from entering.

Q: Is anthracite the same as RAL 7016?
A: Very close match, ideal for coordinating with modern anthracite window frames, doors, and fascias.

Q: Can this be used with other membrane types?
A: Yes, compatible with TPO, PVC, and other single-ply roofing membranes as well as EPDM.
