Flat Roofing
- Generally laid to falls at
1 in 40 (min 1 in 80) -this can be achieved using firrings to
achieve a sloping substructure or cut to falls insulation. Types
-built up felt, mastic asphalt and single ply membrane; the high
performance membranes will give a much longer life than traditional
felt systems but will require specialist contractors.
-
- There are two types of generic
make up -a cold roof where the insulation sits below the membrane
and a warm roof where it sits above. Cold roofs may require ventilation
depending on the construction. Warm roofs are now more common
to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations.
