“We’ve moved over from plain EPDM membrane and paste adhesive to Cortex 0751 EPDM with butyl strip and 0801 termination bar. Not only has this saved us a huge amount of time on site but also ensures a clean application and accurate linear meterage of material estimated and ordered. We would fully recommend this method to other users as we have proved a significant time and cost-saving. - Sean Heywood - North Chesire Windows”
