That’s why I always recommend metal edge trims for EPDM shed roofs and garden buildings. They provide consistent compression along the edge, protect against the elements, and create a neat, finished look that timber simply can’t match long term. If you want your rubber roof to perform properly and look the part, edge trim isn’t an extra - it’s essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"The Flat Roofing Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56571905179979,"sku":"MT-Shed-Trim","price":5.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/4054\/9451\/files\/rubber-roof-shed-trim.jpg?v=1773864704","url":"https:\/\/theflatroofingshop.co.uk\/products\/metal-edge-trim-for-epdm-shed-roofs","provider":"The Flat Roofing Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
