Roof specification
Warm roof construction of Sarnafil single ply roofing system comprising vapour check Tapered insulation scheme and single ply membrane in lead grey finish. All laid onto 18mm thick OSB deck.
Features
The design on this roof was particularly challenging as the main deck had a combination of flat and pitched deck areas at various degrees of slope which resulted in numerous steps in level, as per the following pictures.
The parapets also sloped, creating multiple variations in parapet height. The combination of steps slopes and tapered insulation was challenging but very satisfying to achieve.
A fall arrest system to the main roof and Sedum roof to the single storey entrance was also installed.
