Construction: Build up - diagram of layers
The build-up described in this section is suitable for use on a domestic roof smaller than 50 square metres eg a garage or an extension. This is also the build-up to use on sheds, summerhouses, log cabins or garden rooms - provided that the building is strong enough (see structural requirements - loading).
For commercial roofing or for domestic roofs over 50 square metres, a slightly different build-up may be appropriate. Please contact us.
