GRP Edge trims
C5 Closures
The C5 closure is used to close a run of E280 rolled joint trim. The closure should be overlapped
by 50mm and sealed by a bead of trim adhesive. Nail to deck, bandage around edges and apply
topcoat layer over the top.

E280 Expansion joint
The E280 trim is used both to create expansion joints on large roofs (over 100m2) and create rolls on any
ridge details. It is compatible with C5 closures, C8B and C9A. At every 100m sq or 12 linear metres the
decking should be gapped by 25mm to allow for expansion of the boards.
It is of critical importance that roofs of this size include extra structural reinforcement along the gapped
area. This can be done in one of two ways:
• Where the decking is gapped, the joists underneath should have noggins installed at no more than
600mm centres with extra ones along the wall taking extra care to ensure that the joists are properly
bedded/fixed to the structure of the building. Each edge of the gapped decking is secured into the
noggins with the standard 40mm penetration at 200mm centres in addition to the decking over the adjacent joists being fixed as usual.
or
• An extra joist timber can be fixed into the side of the joist over which the decking is gapped by 25mm. Each side of the board
over the double thickness joist should be fixed into the joist at 200mm centres with 40mm penetration.
Do not laminate over the whole of the E280 trim, only over each of the flanges as this makes the trim more rigid.
The decking on either side of the expansion joint should not be allowed to ‘float’ freely as this will encourage undue expansion and potentially
lead to cracking of the laminate.

Joining a GRP roof to a felt roof
The E280 can also be used to bridge between a GRP
and adjoining felt roof. The E280 should be fixed to
the decking at the end of the GRP roof taking up the
felt at the edge if possible to lay the trim underneath.
The felt should be bonded to the trim with a liberal
coating of Topflex acrylic roof coating both under and
over the felt layer. You will then need a new piece of
felt 400mm wide and the length of your trim. Wrap
it over your trim from the GRP side and torch it onto
the trim and existing felt (edge trim profiles are flame
resistant) or bond it down using Topflex . This should
be completed before the laminate is laid over the
other edge of the trim.
