The gutter edge trim drip plate is a component of the two-part trim system. The gutter edge backplate is installed first, during application of the EPDM membrane. Please see part one of the guide here. Installing the front drip plate completes the seal, sandwiching the membrane and ensuring a neat, professional edge that directs water into the gutter trough. In this guide, we will show you how to install the PermaRoof trim gutter edge drip plate.

Step 1
Make a mark around the edge of the roof, right where it falls over the sides. In this example, there are curved edges on the other two dimensions. Trim all edges down to 50 mm.
Step 2
The drip plate is placed in position over the edge of the roof. This traps the EPDM membrane between the back plate and the drip plate.
Step 3
The drip plate will secure on to a hook on the back plate and it will snap in to place and secure that edge completely.
Step 4
Tap into the entire length into place, and you’re all done.
